I lead the cloud platforms organization for Tesla Energy developing real-time services and critical infrastructure for power generation, battery storage, vehicle charging, and grid services. Over the past five years, I have seen these platforms grow from their infancy to become the largest and most integrated platforms for distributed, renewable energy in the world. The presentation Tesla Virtual Power Plant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggdYts4muu0) details the architecture and technologies used in this large-scale, distributed IoT platform, including some of the unique grid services it can provide.
