NV Energy tests digital tech to track kilowatts of clean energy from cradle to grave. Blockchain’s energy sector applications range from the highly speculative — think peer-to-peer energy-trading using cryptocurrency raised in initial coin offerings — to more incremental efforts, grounded in the real-world challenges of operating an increasingly decentralized power grid. The latter describes […]
Optimisation of battery throughput means optimised revenues, Open Energi’s data science lead says
