So, I've launched a new business focused on building the digital grid. www.7greenstrategy.com 🔌💡

Fresh off the podcast presses (?!)... 🔌💡

"The Internet of Energy is Nigh"

Many people talk about how the grid's going to change enabled by AI and digital. Few actually know what they're talking about. Even for a bear of small brain like me, @alexinajackson.bsky.social makes it super-clear. open.spotify.com/episode/4bD3...

Day two of GridConnext: a panel on scaling grid innovation raises that unified data models across generation, transmission, and distribution allow us to "speak the same language" and accelerate scaling. Yes, please. 🔌💡

At GridConnext and a panelist just said something that particularly resonated. When talking about utility smart grid transformation: "this is a marathon and I'm not sure it has a finish line." 🔌💡

Deploy24 day 2 is leaning in on main stage discussions of Grid tech, including efficiency and flexibility solutions. Loving comments on GETs, batteries, VPPs, and visibility and coordination software all through a dynamic digital energy grid.🔌💡

At Deploy24 and DOE OTT Chief Commercialization Officer shared a quote that resonated, "deploying technology is about imagining then creating the world in which it thrives." (Paraphrased)

Are there common opportunities in the bulk power system and the distribution system? Yes! Visibility and coordination improve planning assumptions, create capital flexibility in the system, and help us know when to invest in the next best action. See, e.g., prior work on EVs: tinyurl.com/4xwxpbnx

I've been posting about a dynamic grid (decarbonized, distributed, weather impacted) in which smart digital assets become enablers of a reliable, affordable, safe future. What are some of the ready assets deployable today? An early whitepaper on tech, uses, and barriers: tinyurl.com/5862pc2k

Creating relevant quantities of high-quality is an early step to modernizing the electrical grid. Data + machine learning and computational power ='s augmented intelligence to support grid planners, operators, owners, and users. An article with accessible early examples tinyurl.com/yfpyf6nu

Case Study: Dynamic Line Rating is an example of a digital tool ready for grid deployment *today* that enhances data, situational awareness, and ability to make better operational AND planning decisions. Visibility improves decisions and moves toward a smart, digital future. tinyurl.com/2sbn9zpy

Here's a "north star" document that lays out a path from yesterday's analog grid to a digital grid ecosystem (not unlike the transformation of communications, telephony). In An Architecture for the Digital Grid, you will find bookmarks to the ideas in other papers I'll post. tinyurl.com/yrarc6jh

Hi bluesky! I will be adding a few links to documents I have worked on in the last +/- year to give a flavor of how I think about the transformation of the electricity grid and its role in a safe (including green!), reliable, and affordable energy system.
