Notes on AI, power systems and modelling.

Open-ended writings and thoughts on AI-assisted power-system analysis. These are discussions and reflections, not professional or technical advice. Comments and feedback are welcome. If I have enough time I may consider pulling together a podcast and presenting more detailed behaviour of AI integration.

AI and Power Engineering - Part 1

Why the real value of AI in power systems does not sit in generic report writing or superficial technical summaries, but in grounded engineering workflows built on the right tools and technical context.
