Renewable energy is changing the way the utility industry works.  The centralized one-way distribution system of the past is becoming a true two-way network in which energy may be delivered or received anywhere.  Yet these new sources of energy are intermittent, creating challenges for management and safety.  Simultaneously, ubiquitous computing and communications is changing the nature of devices.  The Internet of Things provides an unprecedented level of connectivity and control.  The intersection of the these trends may form the basis of a more sustainable and more convenient future, but only if the systems and devices we use are thoughtfully designed and secure.
