The greenergadgets competition 2009 had an entry which is playing in the same field. The Inlet concept suggests a second socket type in our homes that accepts generating devices connected to it. The design uses the poka-yoke principle to accept only specially designed power leads from the generating devices.
Concept Development
The key idea to my suggested design is to let the Smart Grid be smart and auto sense the incoming electricity and route the incoming electricity to the inverter. In this case the user will not need to concider the characteristics of the power in the lead (Consumption or Production).
