Grid-Scout
Smart siting for gigawatt-scale data centers
optimizationenergy systemsweb appgeospatial
A hackathon prototype that helps place large loads where they support the grid: reduce congestion risk, improve reliability, and keep marginal emissions low.
Highlights
- • Scores U.S. locations by co-optimizing transmission headroom, proximity to clean generation, reliability, and emissions impact.
- • Built an interactive siting engine UI for “big loads” to explore tradeoffs and pick candidate states/regions.
