PowerAtlas: Towards Electricity-Computing Co-Scheduling for Power Systems

The rapid growth of AI workloads is turning data centers into large-scale, volatile, yet spatiotemporally flexible grid loads, creating an urgent need for coordinated electricity-computing scheduling. Under stringent grid constraints, schedules from general-purpose large language models (LLMs) are often infeasible, causing line-flow violations and unserved load.

LLM-Powered Predictive Decision-Making for Sustainable Data Center Operations

The paper presents an LLM-based predictive scheduling system that forecasts execution time and energy consumption from source code, aiming to improve data center sustainability. By integrating these predictions into a real-time GPU allocation algorithm, the system reduces both energy use and queuing delays. In a collaboration with a data center, the approach achieved a 32% drop in energy consumption and a 30% reduction in waiting time.

Characterizing Job Power Elasticity for Power-Flexible AI Training

The paper introduces the Power Flexibility Index (PFI) to measure how large language model (LLM) training performance changes when GPU power is reduced. Using 131 training runs on H200 and H100 GPUs, the study finds that LLM jobs have significant but variable power elasticity and identifies telemetry signals that can predict PFI during runtime. The authors demonstrate that allocating power based on PFI maximizes overall token throughput, recovering about 1.5k tokens/s per job under a 30% power reduction, which represents 63% of the gap between equal-weight and perfect-information allocations.

Grid-Orch: An LLM-Powered Orchestrator for Distribution Grid Simulation and Analytics

Grid‑Orch is a framework that connects Large Language Models (LLMs) to power system simulation via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing engineers to conduct complex distribution grid analyses using natural language. It offers 36 domain‑specific tools across eleven categories—including power flow, voltage analysis, quasi‑static time‑series simulation, and automated optimization—implemented with OpenDSS as the reference engine. The platform supports both cloud‑hosted and locally deployed LLMs, enabling air‑gapped operation, and demonstrates that tasks such as DER interconnection screening can be completed in under two minutes with results identical to traditional scripting.

Grounded, Compute-Efficient LLM Policy Agents for Energy-Poverty Equity in Physically-Constrained Peer-to-Peer Energy Markets

The paper introduces EqGrid, a closed‑loop simulation that uses a low‑frequency, open‑weight LLM policy agent to set price, carbon limits, and subsidies for a community of empirically‑grounded household personas, while high‑frequency multi‑agent RL traders clear a continuous double auction on a physically constrained IEEE‑33‑bus grid. It demonstrates that the LLM can reduce energy‑poverty inequality—lowering the Gini of energy burden from 0.351 to 0.305 and mean burden by 28%—without increasing net grid cost, and that a compressed sub‑1B model retains 92–95% of this benefit at dramatically lower inference energy. The study also establishes a compute‑efficiency frontier and a decoupled‑safety design that eliminates grid violations. whyItMatters":"By showing that a lightweight LLM can effectively manage energy markets to reduce poverty and inequality while staying energy‑efficient, the work offers a practical, low‑carbon AI solution for humanitarian energy‑poverty interventions."
