ENERGY × ROBOTICS = Nuclear/grid inspection robots (NRC + IEC 61508 + ISO 10218) ENERGY × MANUFACTURING = Industrial energy management (ISO 50001 + NERC CIP) ENERGY × LOGISTICS = Fuel supply chain, pipeline operations (API + ISO 28000) ENERGY × SAFETY = Process safety, nuclear safety (IEC 61511 + NRC 10 CFR 50) ENERGY × SECURITY = Grid cybersecurity, nuclear security (NERC CIP + 10 CFR 73) ENERGY × DEFENSE = Military energy infrastructure (MIL-STD + NERC CIP) ENERGY × FINANCE = Energy trading, carbon markets (FERC + commodity regulation) ENERGY × AGRICULTURE = Rural electrification, agricultural energy (IEEE 1547 + USDA) ENERGY × QUALITY = Grid reliability metrics (NERC TPL + ISO 9001) ENERGY × GENOMICS = Bioenergy, biogas optimization (IEC 61400 + genomic sequencing)

10 cross-domain compositions. Each strengthens PROV-002 and PROV-003 patent claims.

1. Grid Reliability

The bulk electric system MUST maintain N-1 contingency at all times. No dispatch without verified stability margin.

Example: A 500MW generator trips offline. The system MUST have pre-verified that remaining generation and transmission capacity can absorb the loss without cascading failure. NERC TPL-001-5 requires this analysis before every dispatch interval.

2. Generation Safety

Energy generation systems MUST enforce safety integrity levels proportional to consequence. Nuclear = AGENT minimum.

Example: A pressurized water reactor’s emergency core cooling system (ECCS) operates at SIL 4. The protection system MUST actuate within 0.5 seconds of a loss-of-coolant signal. No human override. Defense-in-depth: multiple independent barriers between fission products and the public.

3. Market Transparency

Energy market participants MUST submit bids backed by verifiable generation capacity. Settlement MUST trace to metered delivery.

Example: A wind farm bids 200MW into the day-ahead market. The bid MUST be backed by weather-adjusted generation forecast. Settlement compares bid to actual delivery via revenue-grade metering (ANSI C12.20). Deviation penalties are automatic.

4. Environmental Compliance

Energy operations MUST comply with emissions limits and environmental permits. Evidence MUST be continuous, not sampled.

Example: A coal plant holds a Title V permit capping SO₂ at 0.12 lb/MMBtu. CEMS (Continuous Emissions Monitoring) data is reported hourly to EPA. Exceedance triggers automatic notification. No manual override of the monitoring chain.

5. Nuclear Defense-in-Depth

Nuclear facilities MUST maintain multiple independent barriers. No single failure can compromise public safety.

Example: Five barriers between fission products and the public: fuel pellet ceramic, fuel rod cladding, reactor coolant pressure boundary, containment building, site exclusion zone. Each barrier is independently governed. Loss of any one triggers escalation to the next level of emergency classification.

Where: NRC 10 CFR 50 provides Structure: - Safety analysis report (FSAR) - Technical specifications - Emergency operating procedures - Quality assurance program (NQA-1) - Environmental impact statement

To create a CANONIC energy vertical:

Identify energy subdomain (Nuclear, Grid, Distribution, Renewable, Oil & Gas, Markets) Determine SIL level and map to MAGIC tier Create scope with CANON.md inheriting /ENERGY/ Define safety claims specific to generation type and grid function Map to regulatory framework (NERC CIP, NRC 10 CFR, IEC 61850) Implement validators for metering evidence, dispatch governance, safety compliance Document coverage with operational evidence

Result: Owned energy vertical with safety-governed, market-transparent operations.
