FW: Knowledge Problem smart grid series

Good background, away from the standards, but focused on the goals…

Subject: Knowledge Problem smart grid series

Hi all,

This week I'm writing a 5-part series of smart grid posts at Knowledge Problem. So far parts 1 and 2 are up:

http://knowledgeproblem.com/2009/03/02/smart-grid-technology-economics-and-policy-part-1-of-5/

http://knowledgeproblem.com/2009/03/03/a-smart-grid-is-a-transactive-grid-part-2-of-5/

In particular, I think today's post is very useful, because a lot of our audience does not naturally think of the electric power network as transactive, so this explanation may be useful.

The topics of the remaining 3 will be

-end-use devices

-renewables interconnection

-smart grid policy, state, regional, federal

I hope you find these useful in communicating our messages and vision to our various audiences. Please do be viral and send the links along to anyone (and I mean anyone!) whom you think would enjoy it/benefit from it. I know a couple of you are involved in today's Senate hearing, and this series may be useful to the staffers there. And please do comment on them!

They are also cross-posted at The Energy Collective, which if you aren't aware of, I recommend to you:

Thanks,

Lynne
