As utilities’ role evolves, from being mere energy suppliers to becoming sophisticated information management entities, edge analytics has the power to address emerging challenges. The rise in residential adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar panels, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and power-intensive appliances like EVs, has profoundly impacted and challenged traditional distribution network planning. Utilities have to navigate all these complexities while meeting the demand for hyper-personalized solutions for consumers.

Applying AI-enabled analytics directly to the real-time, often sub-second, data streams captured and processed within the meter itself offers new possibilities and allows for a wide array of new use cases. Edge analytics has emerged as a transformative approach to address these challenges while reshaping how data is processed and utilized within the grid. NET2GRID drives this edge analytics revolution while providing a cutting-edge, real-time disaggregation solution that focuses on DERs and, in particular,  EVs. In this sense, NET2GRID EnergyAI™ leverages modern smart meters to perform advanced data analytics directly at the edge, optimizing grid planning and management, improving customer engagement, and enhancing personalized marketing.
