A new research laboratory is being constructed in Utah. Funded by the U.S. Navy, it will develop microgrid technologies that can help communities maintain or restore their supply of electricity after a natural disaster or a cyber attack takes out the main power grid, an article in News Wise states.
When Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico in September 2017, the island and the rest of the U.S. got a bitter taste of what happens when the power grid of a major metropolis goes down. As of April 2018, the territory is still plagued by power outages that stem in part from the months-long blackout caused by the hurricane.
