The U.S. power grid, after faithfully delivering electricity to our neighborhoods for generations, is facing significant change to how it operates — thanks to solar-panel installations, wind farms, ...

Designers can employ a new technology to sign off on the structural integrity of the power grid early on, before proceeding with any power-consumption, voltage-drop, or electromigration simulations.

Advanced reconductoring involves replacing existing power lines with cables made from state-of-the-art materials, significantly increasing the grid's capacity. The technique is faster, cheaper, and ...

A new technique for 'scheduling' energy in electric grids has been developed. It moves away from centralized management by tapping into the distributed computing power of energy devices. The approach ...

This paper introduces several new concepts for micro-power electronic system design. These concepts are based on the fundamental power distribution and energy storage techniques deployed in advanced ...

Oracle announced Wednesday that it is joining a major European research project aimed at boosting grid computing, a technique for divvying up intensive computing tasks among multiple systems. expanded ...

for Nuclear Research (CERN). The project adapts grid computing techniques to study the origins of the universe. Grid computing emerged from academia as a way to overcome limited high-end computing ...
