The amount of CO <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{2}$</tex-math></inline-formula> emitted per kilowatt-hour on an electricity grid varies by time day and substantially location due to the types generation. Networked collections warehouse scale computers, sometimes called Hyperscale Computing, emit more carbon than needed if operated without regard these variations in intensity. This paper...
Seven years ago, we published an article in IEEE Spectrum titled “What It Would Really Take to Reverse Climate Change.” We described what had learned as Google engineers who worked on a well-intentioned but ultimately failed effort cut the cost of renewable energy. argued that incremental improvements existing energy technologies weren't enough reverse climate change, and advocated for portfolio conventional, cutting-edge, might-seem-crazy R&D find truly disruptive solutions. wrote: “While...
Starting in 2007, Google committed significant resources to tackle the world's climate and energy problems. A few of these efforts proved very successful: deployed some most energy-efficient data centers world, purchased large amounts renewable energy, offset what remained its carbon footprint.
A simplified computed-torque controller is presented for two common tasks performed by a two-armed freeflying robot: manipulator inertial endpoint control and cooperative-arm object manipulation. formulated in such manner that the differences between fixed-base free-flying formulations are explicit well defined. An analysis of these shows terms due to robot body accelerations computationally expensive include model, whereas those velocities both inexpensive vital proper operation controller....
We propose Powernet as an end-to-end open source technology for economically efficient, scalable and secure coordination of grid resources. It offers integrated hardware software solutions that are judiciously divided between local embedded sensing, computing control, which networked with cloud-based high-level real-time optimal operations not only centralized but also millions distributed resources various types. Our goal is to enable penetration 50% or higher intermittent renewables while...
The amount of CO$_2$ emitted per kilowatt-hour on an electricity grid varies by time day and substantially location due to the types generation. Networked collections warehouse scale computers, sometimes called Hyperscale Computing, emit more carbon than needed if operated without regard these variations in intensity. This paper introduces Google's system for Carbon-Intelligent Compute Management, which actively minimizes electricity-based footprint power infrastructure costs delaying...
We describe a novel inverter control method that solves an optimization problem during each switching interval to closely follow virtual impedance law. report droop behavior over wide range of applied loads and power sharing among multiple inverters.
From the intersection of computational science and technological speculation, with boundaries limited only by our ability to imagine what could be.
Base accelerations <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> and base angular velocity in free-flying robots introduce inertial forces not seen in-fixed-base robots. Consequently, dynamic models of possess more degrees freedom than their fixed-base counterparts. In this paper the effect neglecting an space endpoint Computed-Torque (CT) controller is examined. Numerical simulations predict a rather wide set conditions under which CT...
