February 17, 2021 – Texas energy market shows signs of fragility due to not having enough natural gas turbines on-demand reserves plus not having any sizable energy storage for backup. Wind and solar production were not available at all and as needed at the time of the storm. Solution: change policy and rules for generators and reserves. Invest in better backup systems. The Texas smart grid needs to be expanded as well. Solution: Build 2-way power flow and 2 way-data flow monitoring and controls using private LTE/5G networks to improve any issues from rolling blackouts. We should refine the power system architecture for this use case. Furthermore, utilities must become far more proactive and predictive with systems when dealing with customers and their expectations. Solution: Build interactive, proactive and predictive cloud-based Website, Texting and CRM systems using AI. The technology is here. The architecture is here.
