Smart grid may crush power companies at unexpected moments: MIT study | SmartPlanet
The smart grid could go a long way in conserving energy and smoothing out load demand for the nation’s utilities. Researchers at MIT however, say there may be a law of unintended consequences at work with smart grid. If too many people set appliances to turn on, or devices to recharge, when the price of electricity crosses the same threshold, it could cause a huge spike in demand — and potentially overload the power grid, they surmise.
