Abstract :
Rural energy security is a topic of great importance, not only in the USA, but in many regions of the world. In many places, there is no grid. We propose the development of autonomous smart grids which can be used in any region without the existence of a centralized grid. The grids can be portable and can support a small population, as well as, scaling to larger one.
