AutoGrid applies Big Data technologies, real-time predictive algorithms to help utilities, grid operators, and end-users harness the tsunami of data being generated by the smart meters, grid sensors and other devices. Pike Research estimates that $34 billion will be invested worldwide in smart grid analytics between 2012 and 2020.
Earlier this year, AutoGrid unveiled its Energy Data Platform (EDP), a highly-scalable and secure software platform for mining the wealth of smart grid data, as well as its Demand Response Optimization and Management Systems (DROMS), a cloud-based demand management service that expands the market and versatility of dynamic pricing and power management services. Requiring no additional hardware, DROMS cuts the cost of demand response systems by 90 percent while increasing the “yield” of power from demand response events by 30 percent. DROMS has already been deployed and used in demand response programs for City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) and Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD).
“We are honored to be selected as a GoingGreen Global 200 Top Private Company,” said Amit Narayan, CEO of AutoGrid. “The Big Data technologies and predictive analytics services we provide are helping consumers, businesses, power providers and utilities better understand their habits and ensure improved service in the future.
