Can An 'OS For Electricity' Double the Efficiency of the Grid? - Slashdot
"New submitter mesterha shares an "interesting article [from Vox] on how to optimize our use of electricity":
Waste on the grid is the result of poor power quality, which can be ameliorated through digital control. 
Image result for energy reduction of around 15%Real-time measurement makes that possible. 
3DFS technology, which the company conceives of as an "operating system for electricity,"... perfectly adapting it to the load it serves, eliminating waste."
"They claim energy reduction of around 15% but anticipate their AI tuning can get eventually get 30%," writes Slashdot reader mesterha. 
"Seems too good to be true, but it has the support of publications like Popular Mechanics." [3DFS won one of Popular Mechanics' "breakthrough awards" in 2017.]
