An electrical grid (or electricity network) is an interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers. Electrical grids consist of power stations, electrical substations to step voltage up or down, electric power transmission to carry power over long distances, and finally electric power distribution to customers.
A grid applied within an image (instead of a page) using additional angular lines to guide proportions. In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved lines ( grid lines) used to structure content.
The smart grid is an enhancement of the 20th century electrical grid, using two-way communications and distributed so-called intelligent devices. [ 1] Two-way flows of electricity and information could improve the delivery network. Research is mainly focused on three systems of a smart grid – the infrastructure system, the management system ...
Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle [1] designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid , but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from ...
Grid computing is the use of widely distributed computer resources to reach a common goal. A computing grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve many files. Grid computing is distinguished from conventional high-performance computing systems such as cluster computing in that grid computers have ...
A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [ 1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [ 2][ 3] A ' stand-alone microgrid ' or ' isolated microgrid ' only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [ 4]
Grid (spatial index), a discretization of a geometric domain into a set of contiguous cells, used to organize information. Discrete global grid (DGG), a grid that covers the entire Earth's surface. Grid (graphic design) (or typographic grid), organized lines for guiding graphic design. Grid plan, a city design with streets running at right ...
The first comprehensive draft of a grid layout for CSS was created by Phil Cupp at Microsoft in 2011 and implemented in Internet Explorer 10 behind a -ms-vendor prefix.The syntax was restructured and further refined through several iterations in the CSS Working Group, led primarily by Elika Etemad and Tab Atkins Jr.
