“A Smarter Grid” concerns the development of an intelligent infrastructure, a neural service bus. The initial goal is to build an application-oriented prototype to achieve performance improvements for solar power installations under non-optimal conditions, at non-A locations and in non-ideal setups.

Generally speaking, “A Smarter Grid” aims at the transition from a jumble of wires to an “internet of energy”. To scale up from power plug and socket to the capabilities of a mini-computer equates to switching from a light bulb to a television screen. In addition to immediate advantages such as easy configurable installations, more effective (adaptive) energy usage and simplified maintenance a smart (cyber-physical) infrastructure facilitates may other possible applications and utilities. We have started to developed some basic ingredients of this cloud (mixed reality) operating system, now for solar power installations, nanogrids and microgrids, later also for power storage, solar boilers, wind turbines, hydrogen and the wet infrastructure.

Whereas currently some 20% of locations in The Netherlands are suitable for applying solar technology, together with modern microcontrollers (and comparable next-gen solutions for control and monitoring of the entire solar energy system) this will grow to 90 to 95%. Furthermore, solar energy is primarily generated using photovoltaic panels which must be exposed to direct incident light, preferably perpendicular to the sun. Within a few years these capabilities will include infrared radiation, heat, which does not require a direct line of sight and can therefore also be mounted on the shadow side of a building. Unlike solar boilers, such technology does not require a complicated connection to the central heating system. Together, this means an approximate doubling of the existing capacity for existing locations, in addition to an increase in the number of possible locations.
