Submission + - Operating System for Electricity
mesterha writes: Here is an interesting article on how to optimize our use of electricity. Quoting the article, "Waste on the grid is the result is a result of poor power quality, which can be ameliorated through digital control. Real-time measurement makes that possible. 3DFS technology, which the company conceives of as an “operating system for electricity,” can not only track what’s happening on the electricity sine wave from nanosecond to nanosecond, it can correct the sine wave from microsecond to microsecond, perfectly adapting it to the load it serves, eliminating waste." They claim energy reduction of around 15% but anticipate their AI tuning can get eventually get 30%. Seems too good to be true, but it has the support of publications like Popular Mechanics".
