Internet of Things: Smart Power Grid (CLIP)

World War EJul 11 '17

It’s now well into summer here in the United States and if you’re like me-- you’ll want to be nice and cool and away from the heat and humidity.For most of us-- this means turning on the air conditioning.

Sensors can even identify low hanging branches that could fall and knock out a powerline in a storm!
