resilience in the event of power outages.In order to effectively mitigate any risk of losing power and productivity, major office buildingsusually have some sort of backup generation to sustain a business. Homes generally do not havea robust back-up power system, so when a person is working from home and the power goes out,productivity stops. Therefore, a new power grid solution is needed. Coming from the metricprefix atto, meaning 10-18, an atto-grid provides power to a singular room or section of roomwhich makes it even smaller than a picogrid. This atto-grid powers the typical load of a standard,single-person office: a printer, a laptop, a phone, and a lamp.The atto-grid project was proposed by Dr. Robert Kerestes from the Electrical and
