The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Madaeni: Building automated energy trading software is a year-long endeavor
“You can come up with something over the course of 12 hours, but trust me, it's going to leave a lot of money and value on the table, or you can actually systematically procure software or build software Which is a, in my view, a year endeavor.”
Madaeni: Non-domain engineers miss battery physical constraints just like LLMs do
“Batteries can't charge and discharge at the same time, and it's rather obvious to us, but the same applies if we bring a software engineer out of, as an example, out of Uber, where they've never heard about energy problems, can't distinguish between megawatts …”
Madaeni: Full-year vs daily analysis makes no difference for 4-hour battery dispatch
“If the battery had enough, you know, energy to kind of cycle for a couple of days, if we're thinking about long duration storage distinguishing between a full year analysis versus a daily analysis is important, but if your battery has four hours, then it reall…”
Madaeni: Building a production battery dispatch optimizer takes a team one year
“If I think about the initial problem, which takes a year for a souped up team to build and productize, I originally reduced the complexity to 50% by ignoring all of the bidding stuff. And from the 50% that was remaining the insular services are probably like 4…”
Madaeni: Energy storage market bidding is far harder than thermal generation
“And traditionally bidding in conventional assets like thermal plants has been relatively straightforward, but energy storage creates a whole host of challenges for market bidding, because at the end of the day, energy storage is a use limited asset.”
