SMART CITY CASE STUDY
Smart grids concept Vatican City
The United Nations estimated that there would be a growth of 63% in urban population from 2015 to 2050, such that most of the increment will be observed in developing countries, mostly across Asia and Africa. This increase in urbanization is due to migration from rural areas to cities and the shifting of people. . Traditional energy distribution is unidirectional, with static tariff and uses simple meters to record power consumption . Thus, there is a lack of bidirectional information. . A smart city highly depends on an intelligent electrical network to ensure a reliable, clean, and safe electrical power supply. This kind of. [pdf]FAQS about Smart grids concept Vatican City
Are smart grids the future?
