 E-Mail Researchers have created a database of measurements from existing global power grid systems that will help develop new power systems capable of meeting changing demands, such as the move towards renewable energy sources. The study, published in Nature Communications, is the first step towards a more collaborative approach to energy research. It is hoped the publicly available data can be used worldwide to design and test new energy concepts in response to current and future challenges. For the study, the researchers collected power grid data from 17 locations across three continent...
