The electric grid is the largest and most complex machine ever built. It's an amazing feat of engineering providing reliable, safe and on-demand power. This grid is built on 20^th century technology with large, centralized generation, mostly fossil fuel-based and only a few points of control. There’s an urgent call to transition off of fossil fuels in order to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Clean power generation like wind, solar and hydro play vital role in facing the mentioned challenge. This hardware is not on its own enough to replace fossil fuels while maintaining our current standard of on-demand and reliable power.

Electrical nerve block offers the capacity to right away and reversibly block fringe nerve conduction and would have applications in the arising field of bioelectronics. Two modalities of electrical nerve block have been explored — kilohertz recurrence exchanging flow (KHFAC) and direct flow (DC). KHFAC can be securely conveyed with customary terminals, however has the weakness of having a beginning reaction, which is a time of expanded brain enactment before block is laid out and at present cut off points clinical interpretation. DC has for some time been known to obstruct brain conduction without a beginning reaction yet makes harming responsive species. Commonplace terminals can securely convey DC for short of what one second, however propels in high capacitance cathodes permit DC conveyance up to 10 s without harm. The current work planned to join DC and KHFAC into a solitary waveform, named the consolidated diminished beginning waveform (CROW), which can start block without a beginning reaction while likewise keeping up with safe block for long terms. This waveform comprises of a short, DC pre-beat prior to starting KHFAC.
