None of it used yet ? ๐Ÿค” BYD for example have a R&D department numbering 10 of thousands of scientists / engineers. Bet they are absorbing all that info - who knows what it can trigger?

How soon ? We needed it like tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜€

But what exactly are "Grid Forming Transformers" ? It's not a conventional IEEE or CIGRE term ?

OK, so you will have rooftop PV to drive your cooling? A school of thought says plan for time when diurnal swings reduce. Maximum overnight temps are breaking records.
comment in response to post
The days of having large diurnal temperature swings are probably over too ? Time for the #PassivHaus with filters and MVR air handling

OK, that's why 24/7 Carbon-free Energy is interesting. We can call it hourly matching and then it's all about the money ๐Ÿ™‚

Can old coal-fired gen sets be converted into syncons. EPRI may have done some work in this area?
comment in response to post
Solid state transformers for Dx will require a rethink of protection? The "smart grid" is a whole new thing

While it's not a full Local Area Energy Plan replacement, it works to: ๐Ÿ“Map out the local energy system at a glance ๐Ÿ“ˆ Track the impact of your Net Zero efforts โฑ๏ธ Save hours of data wrangling and spreadsheet stress Get your Baseline Bundle today: www.netzeromarket.org.uk/s/product/de...
comment in response to post
And the interesting thing to me is that this is part of a paradigm shift to local energy autonomy with microgrids that stabilize themselves with grid forming inverters, superseding the old inertia of fossil systems. bsky.app/profile/auke... So let's rejoice: the solar era is coming!

I still need to pin down the look-ahead aspect, and maybe the machine-2-machine interface. Probably all very possible

Thanks, let me dig into this. It's a glance into the future ๐Ÿ™‚

Is there any way for a machine-to-machine interface to download day-ahead data into, for example, a microgrid controller ?

With Emmet Kiberd, we estimate that outside of London, England faces an annual public investment gap of ยฃ15.6bn in transport and active travel infrastructure. ยฃ11.8bn in social housing. ยฃ3.4bn in housing retrofit. ยฃ1.4bn in local energy. East Midlands needs the most investment. 2/5

Together they covered key points: โœ… How community ownership puts value back into local communities โœ… The need for meaningful land reform to support local energy projects โœ… A just transition away from fossil fuels that doesnโ€™t concentrate power and profits in the hands of a few big energy companies

For example in Oxfordshire UK and @westmillenergy.bsky.social where our 5MW co-op owned solar farm has given ยฃ850k in community benefits, given 1,600 members 12% avg return, in other co-ops, welcomed 15,000 visitors, estab partnerships with local schools, supported local arts and much moreโ€ฆ
