How the Human Brain Inspired Future Power Grid Creation
Apr 24
The problems with today’s power grid and supply process covers many topics, but the main two are that most of the facilities are over forty two years old and these were designed for power generation, but not for power storage. The power grid of tomorrow will be needed on an intuitive level: to anticipate usage as well as compensate quickly for unexpected needs. This will be an on-demand strategy as compared to the current system we use. It will also have to incorporate renewable and sustainable energy sources such as solar and wind power. These sources don’t have the ability to jump in quickly or be reduced down quickly as a response to the lulls and peaks of power consumption.

In the future, I think we will be connected to a massive cloud net, where we will have auto downloads from our own brains to configure the adjustments, while we have lunch.

April 24th, 2013 at 9:02 pmAnother fantastic idea. I watched a tv show the other night that said that the human brain is the most sophisticated creation in the known universe. Not surprised that they would choose the brain to adjust for the growing energy needs.
April 23rd, 2013 at 10:06 amI know the power plant in my town is absolutely ancient. None of us like to drive anywhere near it, for fear it will blow up. The human brain is the perfect choice.
April 22nd, 2013 at 9:23 pmMaybe this will help the professionals figure out how the brain actually works. I know the doctors are still guessing and the pharmaceutical companies are taking advantage of it.
April 21st, 2013 at 6:57 pmI just hope they create the RIGHT quasi-human brain as a sample to use for the studies. There’s a lot of people I wouldn’t want in that position.
