In 2009, the Center for American Progress sponsored the National Clean Energy Project, in which they detailed the implementation of an efficient, high-voltage grid that would extend from coast to coast.
Main.net's system skips the high-voltage lines, injecting data into the grid further downstream, on medium-voltage (4, 000 to 25, 000 volts) lines.
Small changes to the voltage of the grid control large changes in the electron current flowing to the collector plate.
In addition, by monitoring the frequency or voltage of the power grid, the platform provides automatic demand response when grid conditions call for it.

Phasor measurements track the amount of stress placed on the electric power grid by providing granular data about frequency, voltage and phase angle conditions in real-time.
Now there is growing concern that a really big storm might collapse much of the global electric grid, particularly in places with long high-voltage transmission lines such as Australia, Canada, China and the United States.

It adjusts the voltage output at the Roscrow farm so the grid is not in danger of being overloaded.

We can generate clean, renewable electricity (often in low-demand regions) and get it to where it's needed by building a national smart grid to distribute clean power -- like a high-voltage Internet.
New focus Sharyland Utilities built a high-voltage line to connect Texas with Mexico's power grid.
Networks are riddled with circuit breakers that prevent electricity from flowing backward to the substation when voltage drops--the moment when utilities need solar cells and basement battery packs to support the grid.
