Grids are defined by their
function, not their size

Names, names, names
● Gigagrid, Supergrid
● Mega or Macrogrid
● Milligrid, minigrid
● Microgrid, single or macrogrid fragment
● Nanogrid, single or microgrid fragment
● Picogrid
● Femtogrid
● Smartgrid (every grid can be smart)
Use of SI prefixes preferred
