He is one of the scientists who left a great legacy because of his unique inventions.
Challenges Faced by Tesla
After the designing of the induction motor, alternating current became more viable and reliability type of electricity in use. Although Tesla faced several challenges such as unhealthy competition from Toms Edison, he continued with his inventions determined to change the world. Edison criticized Tesla's work and argued that AC was insecure but Tesla defended his invention by running current through his body (Seifer 1996). Edison had invented DC current and felt that Tesla was a threat to his businesses of selling electric power. Modern alternating current has changed the world since it is the basis of other technologies such as computers, and establishment of industries all over the world.

The research therefore, plays the role of generating ideas from many methods used by researchers and thus is quite credible. It supports the importance of scientists and innovators in developing the world and ensuring continuous developments. The source is reliable and will be used to argue for the role Tesla has played in electricity transmission and distribution.
Tesla's Impact on Microgrids
Ren, W. (2017). The Feasibility of Microgrids for Large Facilities.
The article discusses some of the great scientists that changed the world due to their inventions. Since the early 19th century, many scientific inventions have come up leading to the transformation of the globe to a modernized society. One of them is Nicola Tesla, a Croatian scientist that invented the alternating current electrical systems, which is the basis for the electrical industry. His discovery of the rotating magnetic fields in 1882 by coming up with an AC induction motor in 1888. Electric power has many uses today indicating the importance of its invention several years ago.
