GB Renewables Map an energy experiment created entirely in my free time (day job is visualisation at Octopus Energy). It's an interactive map showing live generation for major wind farms in Great Britain, showing what each wind farm is generating both now and in the past, and where that generation is physically located. Animated weather data is from WeatherLayers and shows current and historic wind conditions on the map, providing context to wind generation around the country. History mode allows you to go back in time and see wind generation and weather conditions for a particular date and…

WattWise is a CLI tool that monitors my workstation’s power draw using a smart plug and automatically throttles the CPU & GPUs during expensive Time-of-Use electricity periods. Built with Python, uses PID controllers for smooth transitions between power states. Works with TP-Link Kasa plugs and Home Assistant.

Hi HN, I am co-founder of Kickstage, a software company specializing in solutions for the electrical industry and lately grid operators. We are hiring engineers from different backgrounds, a lot of them software developers with limited experience in the sectors. Deep domain knowledge is key in our industry however, so we are constantly teaching the basics of power flow analysis, active vs reactive power, transmission line properties etc. With Jupyter notebooks and the Python console only, that's a tedious task and hardly ever led to a deep understanding of the topics. So we built BambooGrid:…

Hi HN, Shawn here. My rooftop system lost about half a year of production and nobody told me. Not the installer, not the monitoring app, not the utility. I found out from an electric bill that made no sense, then spent weeks digging through the monitoring portal by hand. SunRanker is what I wished existed that day. Connect a system once (Enphase OAuth, or a SolarEdge site ID plus API key) and it reads production daily, shows it in plain language, and emails you when something actually changes. Three alerts only. The connection broke, the monitoring went quiet, or output has been well below…
