Milestone In Power Grid Optimization On World’s First Exascale Supercomputer

Researchers were able to determine safe and cost-optimal power grid setpoints over 100,000 possible grid failures and weather scenarios in just 20 minutes.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL): In the largest simulation of its kind to date, Oak Ridge Lab's Frontier allowed researchers to determine safe and cost-optimal power grid setpoints over 100,000 possible grid failures and weather scenarios in just 20 minutes.

Ensuring the nation’s electrical power grid can function with limited disruptions i…
