Yesterday, PJM and ERCOT were both within ~5% of their respective all-time peak demand records.

In ERCOT, battery operators deployed over 10 gigawatts (2nd highest all time).

In PJM, which is twice the size as ERCOT: 0.18 gigawatts.

Batteries solve a lot of problems... 1/4

The Weather App on your iPhone is awful (sorry, Apple).

I’ve seen tons of screenshots of the upcoming heatwave forecast, and the Weather App is off by up to 5-10 degrees. National Weather Service forecasts are the most accurate source, but unfortunately its website looks like it was built in 2003. @EverythingWX (not an ad) is the only app I know of that displays NWS forecasts in a great user interface.

If you are wondering why the Weather App’s forecasts are so inaccurate, it’s because it only uses select raw weather data without any trained meteorologists reviewing it. There are over 120 NWS offices across the US that issue fantastic forecasts using far more models and tools, with real humans reviewing the data.

Take the Weather App’s forecast for San Francisco, it’s only forecasting a high of 83°F on Tuesday, while the NWS is forecasting 88°F.

The NWS also uses a point forecast system where each grid square covers a 2.5 km × 2.5 km area, which more accurately captures microclimates, perfect for a city like San Francisco.

Use the NWS forecast this week and ditch the Weather App.

@realDonaldTrump Please don’t do this. This is not a center for alarmism. The science that comes from @NCAR_Science has made the United States a leader in tracking severe weather, modeling extreme floods and even the effects of increased solar activity and how it impacts our atmosphere here on Earth. Research that comes from here benefits us all from a safety and infrastructure standpoint. And, economically, the science helps mitigate a growing number of #billiondollar #weatherdisasters

Oregon and Ole Miss (with Golding) over A&M is flat out disgusting work by the committee. Go look at whatever metric they claim to use you want.

This committee is straight trash.

we have reached the point where the department of energy is getting community noted because they don’t know what batteries are

Yesterday, ERCOT set a new solar generation record of 29,337 MW, passing the wind generation record of 28,550 MW for the first time ever. ERCOT also set a new energy storage record with 6,769 MW discharging at 8:39 p.m. as solar generation declined.
