Abstract
The proliferation of cheaply produced surveillance micro-UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) fueled by low-voltage power lines and a loose interpretation of the Fourth Amendment has devastated America’s electric grid. This paper aims to develop a framework for creating a smart grid capable of gracefully handling unpredictable loads caused by migratory government drones. These micro-UAVs, also known as birds, have created many issues for power plants and grid operators. With the unpredictability of the size and location of the load caused by government drones, the nation is in dire need of an adaptive solution to save its aging electrical infrastructure from crumbling due to overloaded transformers...
