A. Papers & research

Technical Papers & Research

GR technical papers, research notes and ongoing reliability work. Numerical results in illustrative studies are not field-validated and do not represent any specific hyperscaler.

Reliability-Constrained Power Utilization in AI Data Centers

Illustrative Framework and 100-MW Reference Study

A technical working paper exploring how probabilistic reliability methods can be extended to estimate usable electrical capacity in AI data centers while maintaining defined reliability targets.

B. Individual publications

Selected Publications by Sudhir Agarwal

This section lists selected publications authored or co-authored by Sudhir Agarwal. These are the individual’s publications and are not necessarily GR corporate publications.

Selected publications are being added. Entries will include title, authors, publication or conference, year, a short description where available, and a PDF or external link when legally available. Publication details will not be invented.

C. Methodology

Reliability Knowledge

Methods, concepts and systems perspectives across industries — including intended function, operating conditions, availability, maintainability, resilience, probabilistic methods, outage-data interpretation and common-mode / dependent failures.

Reliability — A Systems Perspective

What GR means by reliability, repairable-system concepts, and a cross-industry mapping of intended function to example measures.

D. External developments

Industry Developments

Selected NERC, FERC, EPRI and related reliability developments. Inclusion is not affiliation or endorsement. Where GR provides engineering interpretation, that is labeled as GR commentary.

NERC & Grid Reliability Change Watch

Source-verified selected developments affecting transmission planning, large loads, protection, operations and cybersecurity — with GR engineering interpretation clearly distinguished from primary sources.
