The widespread applications of electricity in households and workplaces have shown that energy has been integrated as a part of our daily lives. Maintaining the precarious balance between the energy demand and supply has always been a priority for governments, scientists and generation companies since blackouts has detrimental impact on defense capability and healthcare facilities.
