Smart Grids and Energy Storage Systems: Powering the Future of Energy In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, the push towards sustainability, efficiency, and reliability is stronger than ever. Traditional power grids, though robust in their time, are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of a modern, digital, and environmentally conscious society. This is where smart grids and energy storage systems (ESS) come into play — revolutionizing how electricity is generated, distributed, and consumed. What is a Smart Grid? A smart grid is an advanced electrical network that uses digital communication, automation, and real-time monitoring to optimize the production, delivery, and consumption of electricity. Unlike conventional grids, which operate in a one-way flow (from generation to end-user), smart grids enable a two-way flow of information and energy. Key Features of Smart Grids: Real-time monitoring of power usage and quality. Automated fault detection and rapid restoration. Int...
STORING VALUES IN ARRAYS When we declare an array, we are just allocating space for its elements; no values are stored in the array. There are three ways to store values in an array. First, to initialize the array elements during declaration; second, to input values for individual elements from the keyboard; third, to assign values to individual elements. This is shown in below fig. Figure: Storing values in an array Initializing Arrays during Declaration The elements of an array can be initialized at the time of declaration, just as any other variable. When an array is initialized, we need to provide a value for every element in the array. Arrays are initialized by writing, type array_name[size]={list of values}; Note that the values are written within curly brackets and every value is separated by a comma. It is a compiler error to specify more values than there are elements in the array. When we write, int marks[5]={90, 82, 78, 95, 88}; An ar...
