Rhode Island based AI-powered technology provider Utilidata, has successfully completed a demonstration of its Karman AI platform for real-time distributed energy resource (DER) management. The project is collaborated with PRI’s Incubatenergy® Labs (IEL) and Southern California Edison (SCE). The project showed how Karman calculated optimal DER dispatch and sent control signals directly to DERs while keeping data local at the source (the meter) using on-device AI and wireless communication. The test was performed using EPRI’s Simulation Platform for Integration of DER (SPIDER) software which generated realistic net load data. The demonstration project resulted in a 12.5% reduction in electricity cost for a simulated home and a 27% reduction in peak demand.
