A Dutch company has created a platform that allows a central grid to be divided into smaller cells that can operate independently. The platform tackles a massive issue as it can be quite a painful process for electrical grids to integrate renewable energy. What makes this platform so unique is that it can keep these smaller cells functioning even if the central grid has power outage. Although the platform was made to help decentralize the grid in developed countries, the platform could also be deployed in developing countries to allow them to avoid constructing central grids obtaining power from large fossil fuel-burning plants in favor of these local cells with storage systems for renewable sources.
