>> 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?
This 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.
