@joeljean9 Congrats to you and the team on the award!

@AukeHoekstra @hausfath I agree that the term is overused, mostly because many don’t build and maintain models for individual assets. (eg. aircraft engines, gas turbines, …)

[Danielle Merfeld @DWMerfeld]

@AukeHoekstra @hausfath I’m catching this late so I’ve had both a coffee and a beer already, but my experience with digital twins is that they represent not only the model of an asset, but include history of maintenance, upgrades, weather events, etc. So they are a distinct model of THIS asset.

@drvolts GE/Prolec announced a flexible transformer a few years ago to address this. It might be interesting to check out where that development is now.

[Danielle Merfeld @DWMerfeld]

@drvolts Seriously long lead times and expense are in part due to the bespoke nature of transformer design. They are essentially tailored to the application that you want, the location where it goes, the voltage it will handle, the power that you need, etc.

@MarkTomasovic This speaks to something deep in my soul. ❤️

@On2Leggs Great insight Ryan! Thanks.

After (finally) finishing the holiday puzzle, we can confirm that Maggie ate 15.5 pieces. Here she is trying to act innocent.

In the past two weeks, I think EVERY media outlet has written a story w/headlines like "EV sales are slowing" or "automakers are pulling back" from EVs. All present recent developments as a major setback. But are they? Are they really slowing? Is this 'red alert' moment? A 🧵...

This is one of the most under appreciated aspects of the benefits that will come from the latest round of industrial investment in the US (CHIPS, BIL, IRA).
By ‘doing more’ we’ll be building the talent to ‘do more’. 💪

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

One argument for attempting to reinvigorate domestic manufacturing in chips, batteries etc is basically “insurance” against future disruptions (a la Covid, War etc).

And then another is basically this. That to advance technologically, you need more people doing the doing.

@JacquelynGill I have this same impairment. One time I went down a medical terminology rabbit hole for some reason and couldn’t recover. After gems like “M as in mammogram” and “A as in aneurysm” the service worker paused me to ask if I was OK. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Danielle Merfeld @DWMerfeld]

I love this.
