Everything as a Grid: Meeting the energy demands of homes

9:25

With the electrification of nearly everything, homeowners now require more energy and a way to manage those costs. The energy transition provides homes with solutions such as generators, solar panels, and battery storage to increase resiliency. Erik Hurd explains how Eaton’s Everything as a Grid (EaaG) approach allows homeowners to shift from energy consumers into energy producers. For example, electric vehicle (EV) owners can take advantage of bidirectional flow of power and convert their EVs from a means of transportation into energy storage that can power their homes. This is Eaton’s Home as a Grid and creates opportunities for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint, have greater control of how and when they can use power, and reduce energy costs. At the PSEC, we can show you all of this and discuss Everything as a Grid, Eaton’s approach to helping the world embrace the energy transition. Today, energy flows through the grid in more directions, creating more complexities, but also new potential. By viewing Everything as a Grid, we’re reinventing the ways power is distributed, stored and consumed.
