HEPCO and Reactive Technologies Enhance Japan's Grid Stability

Sep 12, 2025
Hokkaido Electric Power Company (HEPCO) partners with Reactive Technologies to improve grid stability in Japan using the GridMetrix platform, supporting the country's carbon neutrality goals.

Hokkaido Electric Power Company (HEPCO) is collaborating with Reactive Technologies to enhance grid stability in Japan. This partnership, announced in a press release, involves the use of Reactive Technologies' GridMetrix platform to improve grid visibility and manage future energy demands.

The GridMetrix platform will be employed to monitor frequency visualization, oscillation monitoring, inertia measurement, and event analysis across HEPCO's networks. This initiative is crucial as Japan transitions to renewable energy sources, which are expected to constitute 40-50% of the country's power generation by 2040.

By leveraging advanced grid management solutions, HEPCO aims to address the challenges posed by the increasing share of renewables, such as intermittency and variability. This collaboration represents a significant step towards achieving Japan's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
