Open decentralized electricity networks
Description:
A system where all electricity consumers are electricty providers in the same time. A hybrid grid system consisting of open power outlets, and at the same time contributing units. The electricity providers are a mix of large scale government owned power plants (e.g. nuclear) and local solar panels and windmills on private homes.
Enablers:
- Large scale nuclear power plants
- Cheaper solar technology
- Global awereness of environmental impact of CO2
- Scarcity of crude oil
- Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)
Inhibitors:
- Invested capital in centralized commercial power grids
- Incentive to contribute electricity
- Remote areas, with high plug-in/connection cost
Paradigms:
An open electricity network will be more stabile than a centralized one. The risk of major disruptions is diminished by the large number of contributors.
Experts:
Timing:
- Home owners are installing solar panels on their roofs, aided by government tax benefits 2009.
