The U.S. Energy Department is spending more than $10 million to deploy software that will improve the efficiency of electrical grids.

The agency is investing in six projects in five states -- California, Hawaii, Missouri, North Carolina and Washington -- to implement software that improves synchrophasor technology to monitor power grids, according to an e-mailed statement today. Synchrophasors measure voltage and frequency on grids.
