Energy systems of the future will be flexible and adaptive, capable of maximizing efficiency through sensing and predicting environmental and load conditions to effectively supply the right amount of power and mitigate grid issues. We [...]

Self-Sustaining Meteorological Wireless Sensor Networks

Carland J., Oberbeck A., Umeda M., Cumming J., Wilkey T., Fripp M., Kuh A., Garmire D., University of Hawaii at Manoa, US

Existing electrical grid infrastructure designs cannot reliably handle large intermittent power production fluctuations. Providing an autonomous, self-powered, and easily deployable meteorological sensor network can provide the tools to help mitigate this issue. With proper data [...]
