[_800MHz_]

I work in the industry and we've been "predicting peaks in supply and demand for energy" for years.

You're 100% correct about the "resilience" and "efficiency" part, and we currently have software for that as well (Google "Real-Time Contingency Analysis"), but the real improvements to be made in this area would be things that generally fall under the "smart grid" buzzword. The ability to automatically switch transmission lines in and out of service during an emergency event, better and/or automatic control frequency and voltage (which we do have currently, but could be further automated), and reaction/recovery/restoration after a relay incident (for example, an automatic "Blackstart" after a voltage collapse) would all fall under the kind of improvements needed to push electric grid technologies to the next level, in my opinion.

Very interesting! Thanks for the clarification. Would you say that the ML/AI aspect is "easy" once the automation is built? Or does the automation offer limited value without fairly sophisticated algorithms?
