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.

arXiv:2606. 20950v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Executable evaluation -- checking the consequences of an agent's actions with a program rather than grading its prose -- has become a prominent way to assess tool-using AI agents in software settings.

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.

arXiv:2307. 07191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Energy forecasting is crucial for the power grid, but fundamentally different from general time series analysis: it highly relies on covariates like meteorological factors, and its goals must align with actual power grid operations, such as risk assessment and system reliability.

The paper investigates whether locally deployed large language models can automate hardware design workflows that involve repetitive, dependency-ordered operations using specialized tools. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is created to emulate a proprietary hardware design tool, and a benchmark tests single and multi-step edits, invalid requests, misspelled prompts, and multi-server contexts. Seven open-source models are evaluated across different pipeline choices, revealing that strong models can nearly fully cover expected calls, but reliability hinges on task structure and agent configuration, with comprehensive tool descriptions reducing failures and multi-agent setups aiding weaker models at the cost of extra calls.

OmegaUse‑SOP is a human‑in‑the‑loop system that transforms expert demonstrations of professional computer use into reusable skills for graphical user interface (GUI) agents. It refines demonstrations through four modules—Observe, Reason, Configure, and Execute—to record multimodal traces, abstract them into semantic steps, incorporate domain rules, and execute the resulting skills with verification. In a collaboration with a power‑sector client, OmegaUse‑SOP was tested on photovoltaic simulation workflows in PVsyst 7.2, showing improved reliability for GUI agents on professional SOP tasks.
