Renewable energy still an option

Advancing renewables use
While the current grid may be able to sustain renewable energy use, many experts agree that smart grid solutions could play a major role in enabling better solar and wind power use. By combining technological solutions like network functionality, real-time data analysis, terminal servers, smart meters and a variety of IT systems, utility providers can create an intelligent grid that can predict power demands and switch between energy sources in a seamless way. As a result, the grid can better support renewable resource use and help make a vision for a more sustainable power delivery system a reality.
