@RoseOnX9 Thanks for the kind words!
Energy is becoming critical infrastructure.
So the more innovation we unlock, the better the future gets.

⚡ Optimisation Tip #18: Regularly audit building control systems and electrical panels

In many facilities we work with, one important but often overlooked aspect is the ongoing health of building control systems and electrical panels 🧵

@QuincyEdmundLee Has there ever been a record temperature of this sort in the Midwest US?
Sure, it is going to put the grid under the pump.

[Rohith @rohithsz]

It is because the systems are static that's leading to energy scarcity.
The moment we enable the facilities to operate dynamically based on the demand, the grid underutilisation can be unlocked in an instant.

With the ongoing FIFA World Cup, it led me to think what the power consumption during a match would be.

Well, it's equivalent 1000 homes on avg.

The next question I have in my mind is can it be optimised? We'll, who knows!

Every year, heatwaves are breaking records in most parts of the world....

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

One of the worst heatwaves in European history is underway.

Peak high temperatures forecast this week:

France: 45°C / 113°F Monday-Tuesday
London: 39°C / 102°F
Amsterdam: 34°C / 93°F
Berlin: 38°C / 100°F
Paris: 41°C / 106°F

@RichardMeyerDC How is the CHP market stacking up? Heard there is a long lead time now.

[Rohith @rohithsz]

@mzjacobson @CaliforniaISO Impressive progress and highly important for the summer months.

It is interesting to know that idle capacities sitting on the grid can unlock ~10,000 data centres globally. Without a wire added. Let that sink in!

And at a facility level, it is observed that 50-60% of grid capacity goes unused. All due to static controls.

An interesting report on the district energy systems.

One of the best ways to update modern efficiencies in dense urban areas is such systems.

And since it is centrally controlled, easy to map a renewable source that results in lower emissions per capita

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

District energy networks span over 1 million kilometres worldwide – delivering heat to more than 600 million people today.

Our new report examines the role renewables can play in scaling up secure & efficient district energy systems around the globe 👉 https://t.co/hjngErGcuL

[Rohith @rohithsz]

Our RIPE solves exactly this and more

The electricity flow cannot be seen which also results in negligence.

It is always important to operate the load on balanced phases

गर्मी में AC की ठंडी हवा सुकून देती है लेकिन एक छोटी सी विद्युत् लापरवाही बड़े हादसे का कारण बन सकती है।

AC के लिए सही वायरिंग, अलग सर्किट, उचित अर्थिंग और संतुलित लोड सुनिश्चित करें। राष्ट्रीय विद्युत् संहिता (NEC) 2023 के प्रावधानों का पालन करें और अपने घर को सुरक्षित रखें।

While the report tries to Focus on positive aspects of more solar generated, there are a few key considerations left out there

Excessive heat reduces efficiency of the panels

Chances of torrential evening showers which might lead to reduction

Increased energy demand due to heat not considered

Rise in temperatures during night when solar is not available

[Rohith @rohithsz]

@rev_cap All is fair until the entry of local LLMs. Stays on your system, too.
For 70% of my tasks, it is good to use.

[Rohith @rohithsz]

@JaneAFlegal The targets on the face of it, make it easier to adapt demands internally rather than invest in new clean projects

[Rohith @rohithsz]

@IFMA Or maybe developing something unique for the facilities 😉

@ShanuMathew93 Here's what I think:
Compute is powered by IP. Hence, no two companies can produce the same compute, nevertheless, at the same cost.

Rather than think it is as a commodity, think of it as an automobile engine. Each OEM's engine differs, doing different work from each other.
