If you've vowed not to use a hammer, you might run into some strange issues trying to drive nails.

Our update on the grid interconnection queues is out, with data through 2022. The numbers are big, REAL big. Are you ready? THREAD!

🚀 You like optimization? And you love Python? Then, check out Linopy, a new, open-source Python package 🐍 that makes linear and MILP optimization fast and memory-efficient. The best thing: You can use array-like operations & indexing like you're used to from #pandas & #xarray

I found a github repo today with my favorite ever set of comments: - "TODO: some kind of validation" - "Doing this is bad and I feel bad" - "Note to future self: completely going for pure filth to just get this done asap, please forgive me" Refreshingly honest and relatable!

What are the most commonly-used open-source powerflow solvers these days? PowerSystems.jl, Gridlab-D, OpenDSS, something else? clayton barrows Greg Schivley Tom Brown

Today, we announced historic action towards expanding the national power grid. Up to $1.3B will be committed to installing three new transmission lines, creating thousands of jobs and bringing the U.S. closer to adding 3.5GW grid capacity. energy.gov/articles/biden…

This is the sort of content that keeps me on #energytwitter despite *gesturing wildly*

It's wild how much of our computing infrastructure is held together by volunteers with some duck tape & FORTRAN. Imagine if just one FTX or WeWork's worth of resources was available as an endowment? On getting NumPy/SciPy working with Python 3.12: labs.quansight.org/blog/building-…

The impact of state policies is so visible here. Clearly there's something going on in NC, MA, & NJ that's not happening over the border in VA, NH, & PA.

Housing policy is environmental justice policy (with receipts)

This is really important analysis from @dcullenward and Emily Grubert. I sincerely hope that the IRS hears them. We need actual engineering innovation, not paper credits to have any hope of a real hydrogen industry. heatmap.news/climate/hydrog…

Counterintuitive hot takes are the reason I'm still on #energytwitter (that and niche memes of course)

This is a huge undertaking, and should have a similarly huge impact in driving the modeling ecosystem forward.
