In many ways, the grid is a one-size-fits-all system - a gigantic machine to which we all connect spinning in perfect synchrony across, in some cases, an entire continent. On the other hand, our electricity needs, including when we need it, how much we need, and how reliably it should be delivered vary widely. Substations play a critical role in controlling and protecting the power grid. (12:37)

Nikola Tesla was a man ahead of his time. His advancements in electricity were radical, helping to usher in the modern age, with his influence seen in anything from X-rays to remote control. His World Wireless System had the potential to advance technology by nearly a century, while also providing free energy to the globe. Unlike so many of his era, Tesla did not work for financial gain, instead working to advance humanity. Perhaps it is not surprising that a man so far ahead of his time has only found his place in the 21st century, an age shaped by his technological brilliance. (16:22)

Edison was a prolific inventor who registered 1,093 patents in his name in the United States, in addition to others in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. But more important than his many patents was the wide impact some of his inventions had: electric lighting and the public electricity supply, sound recording, and cinematography became powerful new industries around the world. . His inventions contributed in particular to telecommunications, such as a voting machine, a battery for an electric car, electric power, music recording, and movies. His advanced work in these fields was but a continuation of his early work as a radio operator. Edison developed a system for generating and distributing electrical power to homes, businesses, and factories, a crucial advance for the modern industrialized world. (02:57)

Our hunger for energy goes beyond all limits and will double in the next 20 years. But what available technologies could meet the growing thirst for electricity? And will we also have to cut power consumption? What can Europe learn from China? And could "decentralization" into so-called "microgrids" the future of energy? (42.25)
