Grid Optimization Competition
- zeristor 8y agoThis is an ARPA-E competition for grid optimisation, although its working through its stages. ARPA-E is the one looking at research technology for the energy industry, high risk experiments. I believe Trump has wrote it out of this financial years budget, I hope it can survive. There's also an ARPA for the CIA... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Advanced_Research_Projects_Activity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Advanced_Research... Anyone have any ideas for further ARPAs? Perhaps a ARPA for Space technology, although I think SpaceX has pretty much got that sorted.
- westurner 8y agoFrom "California grid data is live – solar developers take note" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18855820 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18855820 : >> It looks like California is at least two generations of technology ahead of other states. Let’s hope the rest of us catch up, so that we have a grid that can make an asset out of every building, every battery, and every solar system. > +1. Are there any other states with similar grid data available for optimization; or any plans to require or voluntarily offer such a useful capability? How do these competitions and the live actual data from California-only (so far; AFAIU) compare? Are there standards for this grid data yet? Without standards, how generalizable are the competition solutions to real-world data?
