Publisher’s Note:

 

Although I had spent a couple of years reading about and hosting high-level discussions on Smart Grids, it was only after I met Paul Manson that I came to understand one of the deepest problems in moving from today’s power grids to tomorrow’s smart grids.  Most people think of smart grids in terms of use: put smart meters in people’s homes (a great idea on its own merits), link them to a responsive grid, and save money. 

 

There are bigger problems.
