• ITMO Researchers Develop Smart Energy System To Help Ease Electrical Grid Load

  The development of industry, urbanization – all of that constantly increases the load on electric grids. People need more and more electricity, as well as grids that can cope with such load: a malfunction in a single element can now lead to a district-wide or even city-wide blackout. For this reason, researchers are becoming all the more interested in the idea of a “smart” power supply management. Specialists from ITMO University develop a prototype of a smart system for houses that can adjust to daily fluctuations in power consumption and ease the load on infrastructure.
