Info

The electrical grid is one of the great enablers of human activity and productivity. In fact artificial light is one of the most obvious signs of human activity when the Earth is seen from Space. The front cover shows Mumbai, India. One of the challenges facing the grid of the future lies in integrating “new” renewable power sources. The present page shows wind turbines and power lines in Kent, United Kingdom. 2 ABB review 4|14
