Whirlpool Corporation says it will manufacture a million Smart Grid-compatible clothes dryers by the end of 2011. In homes where utilities have two-way communications, clothes dryers could be controlled remotely by the utility, powering it down in times of peak usage or running the appliance at a time when electricity is cheaper (for example, at night). Whirlpool estimates that if a utility has time-of-use pricing in place, a smart dryer could save a consumer between $20 and $40 a year.
An Austrian engineer, Franz Zotlöterer, has developed a new method for small scale hydropower by creating a whirlpool that avoids many of the problems typically associated with hydroelectric generation.
