A smart grid electricity hub

The demand for energy is increasing and the need to use renewable sources is rising. One of the key enabling technologies in this domain is smart grid. Smart grid enables the use of renewable energy sources through wind generators or solar panels, for instance. These distributed sources of energy have to be efficiently integrated into the grid through a simple and efficient scheme to synchronize the sources. In this paper, the design and development of a microcontroller based smart grid electricity hub that synchronizes a wind generator to the public supply is presented.
