It isn’t, but the whole night thing is a bit of a problem and storage isn’t there yet at grid scale, but it’s coming.

Thankfully this is one of the easiest limitations to get around technically. Grid forming inverters and inertia markets make this pretty straightforward to solve IMO. Storage is the key thing we need to solve

Nothing competes with JLC but circuit hub isn’t terrible

This and sheet metal manufacturing from Oshcut have been game changers for me

Not true, you can make the R G and B points far enough out to capture the entire human gamut

I always leave a 0 ohm DNP on any TX/RX line.

I’ve been working with MIP solvers a lot at work recently, and the depth of black magic is so deep it’s hard to comprehend. Even after the presolve there are so many tradeoffs and structures to exploit it’s hard to understand the whole system

I’ll believe this when I see it on GitHub - rooting for them

I agree with your premise, but I think it’s also important to reconcile this with the idea that nothing is simple. Everything that’s made is usually much more complex than it appears in the surface

ERCOT operates under a “connect and manage” interconnection philosophy. This means things can actually get built quickly (unlike other ISOs), but some management is required.

Of course, there are some downsides to this approach, but overall I think it’s a superior. Just look at renewable and battery penetration compared to other ISOs.

Maybe the technical requirements at the time were a good excuse but as soon as you demonstrate the market will tolerate that why on earth would you remove it?

Yes but think of the shareholders! And that doesn’t show up nicely on a spreadsheet does it?

I’m not seeing HVDC tech on the interconnection queue. The baseline power problem isn’t going away any time soon.

Nuclear just doesn’t go on standby, that’s the point.
