smart grid is worthless without 3 phase power
sparkle farkle 9th Sep 2010
unfortunately the utilities have not seen fit to provide 3 phase power to much of the country (at least homes) this leads to power instability, since it's inherently not a balanced load. I somehow doubt they will spend the billions to upgrade the wiring in this country, but that's what really needs to be done to remedy the problem.
