These concepts are proposed by the website for discussion. No project start, funding, pilot or institutional participation has been confirmed; the institutions below are prospective candidates, not project partners.

Research goals

01
Assess island grid resilience with offshore wind, storage and flexible compute loads.
02
Compare energy costs and hurricane operating limits against a baseline.

Technical pathway

01
Specify candidate-site wind, grid, storage and compute-demand data with uncertainty.
02
Build a coupled wind–battery–compute digital twin and compare dispatch strategies.
03
Simulate storms, forecast errors and constrained operation before considering a permitted pilot.

Expected outputs

Proposed deliverables · not completed results

01
A documented digital twin and scenario dataset.
02
A resilience and cost comparison with safe-operation limits and a validation plan.

Progress evidence

CAII progress not verified

Available basis

The site currently documents a project concept, a proposed next milestone and external technical references only. No CAII start approval, funding record, test report or deployment evidence has been supplied. Actual progress remains unverified.

Proposed next milestone

Define candidate-site data needs and establish a simulation baseline with grid operators.

Evidence needed to verify progress

Dated project approval, scope and accountable team records.
Traceable input data, model versions and signed test or assessment reports.
Where applicable: permits, environmental review, deployment acceptance and written institutional agreements.

These are proposed verification requirements, not documents already received or milestones already achieved.

Verifiable technical references

References support the proposed technical pathway, not CAII project progress, partnership or certification. Publisher documents retain their original language; standards may require purchase and are not proof of compliance.
