AI in the Breach: How an Adversary Leveraged AI to Target a Water Utility's OT
yeah and imagine you store the unregulated energy source in a battery so you can use it whenever you want OR you could also help stabilize the grid and or sell your energy from the battery if you want. wind + battery will become very popular in the comming years and is already being highly adopted in countries like spain
the talk about "electricity can do things" misses whats actually interesting here. Working in the energy sector, the hard problem is rarely generating the power, it is getting it into the grid. connection queue runs for years and turbines regularly get curtailed when the grid c anncot absorb more. A flexible load behind the meter, like an electrolyzer making ammonia on site, monetizes energy that would otherwise be wasted or never get built at all. The fertilizer is almost a side effect, the real product is a use for stranded wind. i would also add that wind + battery would be much better both for stablization and also the same use as mentioned in the article.
at work we started making a libary with books we want to read to keep us sane and adopting good and old practices in the world of ai. its very easy to get blind nowdays but reading have helped me alot
