When Complexity Becomes the Problem
Rethinking Hourly Matching: Technical Precision, Practicality and Inclusive Energy Transition
Suhyun Jeong, Founder & CEO, AllThatECO
Just because something is technically feasible does not necessarily mean it is a sensible approach.
Hourly matching risks becoming a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.
It significantly increases the volume of data generated and turns a relatively simple process into an unnecessarily complex one.
Rather than insisting on hourly matching, we need an intermediate level of temporal granularity that strikes a reasonable balance between accuracy, practicality and operational efficiency.
The ultimate objective is to reduce carbon emissions effectively, not to create increasingly complex matching systems.
The energy transition should be inclusive, not limited to those with the resources to manage increasingly complex systems.
"Greater complexity does not necessarily lead to better outcomes. Sometimes, having too much knowledge can do more harm than good."
