@DylanLeClair_ Or you could, I don’t know, do some actually useful compute to balance the grid maybe?
@DylanLeClair_ Really interested in this topic, I currently work for a company in the UK who specialises in solar farms at utility scale and energy storage also. I mentioned this to the CEO at lunch last week and she was also very keen to know more, be interested if you wanted to talk more.
@DylanLeClair_ As the USA's leading commercial electrician, I approve of this paper.
@DylanLeClair_ Should get @SGBarbour’s input here he has some of the oldest (if not THE oldest) published works on this topic.
