From Static to Synchronized: The Emerging Role of Time-Aligned Data in Grid Innovation

As energy systems evolve into hyperconnected, data-driven ecosystems, a less talked-about—but rapidly growing—challenge is surfacing: temporal data alignment. In modern energy operations, it’s no longer just about having data; it’s about having the right data at the exact right time.Why Synchronized Data Is Becoming Mission-CriticalHistorically, energy operations relied on fixed-interval data—15-minute SCADA readings, hourly forecasts, and daily load […]
