  • I Tried to Verify That on a Public Dataset. James Sanders • Data Scientist & ML Engineer • jamesaksanders.com The pitch for battery digital twins right now is consistent across the industry: combine physics models with AI and real telemetry, and you get predictions that are both mathematically valid and physically possible. That’s a near-direct…

  • Smart Meter Imputation and the 98% Problem Arcadia’s Udit Garg recently put a sharp number on a problem the energy data industry has danced around for years: generic AI achieves 90–95% accuracy in energy data tasks, but production energy management requires 98–99%. That 4–8 point gap sounds modest. At the scale of millions of interval…
