What about price aware #6
Description
Sorry if the question may seem silly; but isn't price aware computing our best option?
Since (apparently) european grids are already regulating their prices based on their own data, which is for sure more precise than consumers (e.g. big tech companies), in order to make the grid more stable, doesn't that make the price the most efficient indicator for best time to use the electricity? I mean they are doing this for such use cases!
The price data is even more precisely calculated and even more available at any time. The carbon intensity data itself isn't available in real time in most regions but in contrast, the price data is even scheduled from hours before. So using it may be a good way to avoiding any interference with grid maintenance and just using electricity based on trust on the grid maintainers; they know how to do their job way better than anyone else.
So as a hypothetical scenario, when prices are lower, we are going to help the grid's stability by using electricity, and based on the scenarios from your work, it will never put a pressure on the grid, so in fact we are helping grid operators use the green energy at best performance.
