	national grid - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about national grid
		In the countryside the grid is highly visible as the cables and wires are supported on pylons.
		Nearer to towns and villages the cables are usually buried underground.
		As the grid approaches local users, the voltage is decreased to safer values using step-down transformers.

	Grid computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grids provide the ability to perform computations on large data sets, by breaking them down into many smaller ones, or provide the ability to perform many more computations at once than would be possible on a single computer, by modeling a parallel division of labour between processes.
		Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems by making use of the unused resources (CPU cycles and/or disk storage) of large numbers of disparate computers, often desktop computers, treated as a virtual cluster embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure.
		Grid computing is also attractive to large commercial enterprises with complex computation problems who aim to fully exploit their internal computing power: internal Grids.

		Grid computing offers a model for solving massive computational problems using large numbers of computers arranged as clusters embedded in a distributed telecommunications infrastructure.
		Most of the grids spanning research and academic communities in North America and Europe utilise the Globus Toolkit as their core middleware.
		Grid offers a way to solve Grand Challenge problems like protein folding, drug discovery, financial modelling, earthquake simulation, climate/weather modelling etc. Grids offer a way of using the information technology resources optimally in an organisation.

		The grid plan is a type of city plan in which streets run at right angles to each other, forming a grid.
		These are extremely common in towns of the 18th century or later, which have often been created as part of a city plan, such as the New Town in Edinburgh, or the many towns and cities in Australia, the United States or Canada.
		Often, some of the streets in a grid are numbered (First, Second, etc.), lettered, or arranged in alphabetical order.
