Research frontier
Research survives only if it improves a product, creates defensible IP or produces credible scientific output. Nothing is called state of the art without a published benchmark against a classical baseline.

A full row is the condition for the words "state of the art". Today no row is full.
Topics
| Topic | Product use | Module | Repository | State | Next |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PINNs for AC/DC power flow | Surrogate power flow for fast candidate screening | physics | physics-informed | partial | Publish the full record with CI, latency vs Newton, and behaviour on 39-bus / 118-bus (generalization). |
| MILP dispatch vs learned dispatch | Wedge A — BESS / community dispatch | optimize | GridOS | unbenchmarked | Benchmark MILP against the customer's rule-based schedule on real prices; learned policies only after MILP is deployed. |
| Probabilistic forecasting (load, PV, price) | Forecast inputs to dispatch; forecast-error KPI | forecast | GridOS (MPC loop) | unbenchmarked | Persistence and seasonal-naive baselines first; pinball loss on open data (e.g. ENTSO-E Transparency, Open Power System Data). |
| Inertia / RoCoF with grid-forming inverters | Physics constraint checks; credibility | physics | Renewables_Migration_*_Proof_Engine | partial | Separate book-consistency tests from physical validation against a public dynamics case. |
| Safe / constrained RL for dispatch | Not before MILP is in production | optimize | — | watch | Watch only. Revisit when there is customer data and a deployed baseline. |
| GNNs / neural operators for grid state | State estimation with sparse measurements | twin | — | watch | Watch only. |
| Runtime assurance & agent verification | NeuralBridge design | neuralbridge | NeuralBridge (unlocated) · mcp-foundry | unbenchmarked | Specify the simplex-architecture style monitor; formalize the envelope check; property tests before any code. |
| Uncertainty quantification & distribution shift | Forecast intervals; refusal to act under shift | forecast · planning | — | watch | Conformal intervals on the forecasting module once it has a backtest. |
