Abstract
We are used to the continuous supply of electricity from a socket. Behind the socket lies a complex system of large power stations, high-voltage cables, transformers and a distribution network. Little has changed in the system over the last fifty years. The ambition to generate sustainable electricity from variable solar and wind energy has an immense impact on the electricity sector and requires major changes in our electricity grid and its operation.

期刊介绍:
Europhysics News is the magazine of the European physics community. It is owned by the European Physical Society and produced in cooperation with EDP Sciences. It is distributed to all our Individual Members and many institutional subscribers. Most European national societies receive EPN for further distribution. The total circulation is currently about 25000 copies per issue. It aims to provide physicists at all levels, ranging from post graduate students to senior managers working in both industry and the public sector, with a balanced overview of the scientific and organizational aspects of physics and related disciplines at a European level. Sections covered: ◦Activities ◦Features ◦News and views
