Abstract
This chapter talks about the creation of the Digital Grid. This grid uses something called inverter technology to connect different parts, similar to how a car’s automatic transmission works. The big breakthrough was the invention of the Digital Grid Router (DGR), a device that connects the grid to the Internet. This was the birth of the Digital Grid. This new grid works by creating little pockets of power called cell grids. These cell grids first meet their own power needs, then share any extra power with other cell grids and the existing power grid. This system helps to prevent a domino effect where one power outage leads to another. The chapter ends by saying the Digital Grid is a power system that can change and grow.
