The Grid’s Software Problem
from Vedeni Energy’s Deep Dive · host Vedeni Energy, LLC
If you manage people in the power business, the old picture is gone. Software no longer sits quietly behind the scenes. Operators still run the control room, planners still build the cases, market teams still place the bids, and IT still keeps the servers alive. But those functions now depend on software that must work together under time pressure. Grid operations, transmission planning, outage scheduling, interconnection studies, market clearing, forecasting, and customer-facing commitments are increasingly tied to the quality of the code and data behind them.
