This is an RTP company, located in Pittsboro. This technology could fundamentally change our relationship to electricity An “operating system” for power could double the efficiency of the grid. By David Roberts @drvox david@vox.com Jun 5, 2018, 6:30am PDT vox.com excerpt: 3DFS tech directly challenges a lot of conventional wisdom in the field and involves a technology and a level of data that are genuinely new, such that basically nobody beyond 3DFS has experience with them. It makes it difficult to consult outside experts — the best I got was, “Well, I don’t hear anything that sounds impossible...” — and quite rightly inspires a heightened level of skepticism. One professor of electrical engineering, when I mentioned that 3DFS believes DOE numbers on energy waste are mistaken, became enraged and literally hung up on me. But 3DFS is not a fly-by-night operation, it’s a research lab that’s been around for 15 years and employs well-known and experienced engineers. And as I learned by talking to people who have used it, the product is not vaporware. It exists, and it works. And 3DFS is not secretive with its data. It is happy to show anyone who asks what real-time visibility into electricity looks like. Its claims are testable and it is eager to have them tested. It took a great deal for me to get past my own skepticism. Reporting this story, I was repeatedly reminded of science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke’s famous dictum that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” But I’m convinced that this thing is not magic. It is real, and it’s a big deal. more at the link
