Semantic web promises a smarter electricity grid

(PhysOrg.com) -- Dispersed wind farms and solar panels on people’s homes are posing new challenges for managing power grids that were designed when all electricity was generated in centralised plants. A new semantic web technology promises a solution.

Managing increasingly dispersed energy resources - from far-flung wind farms on remote mountaintops to racks of solar panels on suburban homes - is crucial if the electricity they produce is to be used as efficiently as possible.
