Smart Grid Project Aims To Address Power Variability Caused By Renewable Sources. The Forbes (5/10, Groenfeldt, 929K) profiles Battelle's Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project, a relatively small pilot project with 60,000 participants across five states including publicly owned and investor-owned utilities, electrical cooperatives, and the Bonneville Power Administration, and that "plans to take electric data feeds from houses every five minutes." According to Ron Melton, the project director, several terabytes are estimated to be created over the two-year period as it aims to prove whether smart grids make economic sense. Forbes explains that "this project uses bi-directional communication so the utility can receive information from the meter and communicate to businesses and individual appliances in a home." Melton explained the need for smart grids, saying, "When we introduced significant amounts of wind and solar, now we have variability on that side, so we need new tools to manage the balance of power with variability on both sides."
