AI Microgrid Control Optimization

Optimizes dispatch and control of local generation, storage, and loads to minimize cost and emissions while maintaining reliability.

The Problem

“Optimize Microgrid Dispatch Amid Volatile Renewables”

Organizations face these key challenges:

High renewable variability and forecast error cause inefficient battery cycling, curtailment, and costly generator starts

Complex, time-coupled constraints (SOC limits, ramp rates, minimum up/down times, interconnection limits, power quality) are difficult to manage manually in real time

Financial penalties from demand charges, TOU tariffs, and market price volatility increase when dispatch is reactive rather than predictive

Impact When Solved

8–20% reduction in total energy + fuel operating costs via predictive, constraint-aware dispatch10–25% demand-charge reduction and 15–40% less renewable curtailment through optimized peak management5–15% lower CO2e and 20–50% fewer unserved-energy minutes during islanding via smarter reserve and contingency management

The Shift

Real-World Use Cases

AI in Energy Industry: Smart Grid Optimization and Energy Management

This is like giving the entire power system—power plants, grids, and large customers—a real‑time ‘autopilot’ that constantly predicts demand, reroutes electricity, and tunes equipment so you use less fuel, waste less energy, and keep the lights on more reliably.

Data-driven optimal configuration of hybrid energy storage in park micro-energy grids

This is like designing the right mix and size of batteries for an industrial or campus-sized “mini power grid” so it can quickly ramp power up and down when needed, without overpaying for equipment or risking reliability.
