Making the electricity grid work like the internet

I’In this episode, I chat with Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas
Birgersson about his radical plan to apply the architecture of
the internet—packet switching, buffering, and decentralized
routing—to the electricity grid. We explore how his “EnergyNet”
concept uses power electronics to create galvanically separated
microgrids that stop cascading failures and allow neighbors to
share power directly. It is a mind-bending look at how treating
electrons like data could lead to unlimited energy for a low
fixed fee.
