In order to build efficient, combustion-based generators, we needed to build them at economies of scale and extensive transmission and distribution networks to transport power along with them. Those wires are vulnerable to being knocked out by storms (or even squirrels), leading to blackouts, or supply shortages leading to cascading failure. That... See more
Though it will require enormous upfront investment in the coming decade, laying a quilt of DERs over the nation’s distribution systems is the best thing we can possibly do to enable the rapid emission reductions we will need in the decade after.
We believe that data is the most valuable commodity of the modern era. Users deserve to be compensated for the value they create with their data. Users deserve governance over how their data is used. DataDAOs will help make this vision a reality.
Following its attribution algorithm, Delphia shares revenue generated by the data with users contributing to the dataset. This creates powerful alignment that has never existed before.
The key to the value of DERs is that they make electricity demand more controllable. With energy generation and storage scattered throughout distribution grids, grid operators have a way to move energy around, both geographically and temporally, without firing up more power plants. They can absorb extra energy if there’s a dip in demand or produce... See more
