This software requires an interdisciplinary approach in the design and validation of these simulation software involving folks from research, manufacturing, hardware, BMS and firmware, and data science.]]> 2021-10-21 16:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vhaydenhelm/msr_greenenergy/wish/1834164443 Facilitate future industry discussions/collaborations jerluc https://padlet.com/vhaydenhelm/msr_greenenergy/wish/1834177644 Cleantech is a booming industry (again) and there are plenty of incumbents and new players entering the space. At the same time, novel methodologies are coming from various research labs as there is increased focus on these problems. MS Research is in a great position exactly at the intersection of industry and research and thus can best facilitate these kinds of collaborations around things like data and comms/controls standards.]]> 2021-10-21 16:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/vhaydenhelm/msr_greenenergy/wish/1834177644 Coordinate distributed resources for providing balancing services https://padlet.com/vhaydenhelm/msr_greenenergy/wish/1834214794 With safety and communication standards,  distributed resources may be utilized to provide blancing services such as operating reserves]]> 2021-10-21 17:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vhaydenhelm/msr_greenenergy/wish/1834214794
