Agents and machine learning for power systems.

Conventional power system studies explore only a fraction of what could happen. We use machine learning and physics-based modeling to explore more combinations of load generation and outages, showing where a system is at risk and where it can do more with existing infrastructure.

Hyperscalers & Neoclouds

Power planning and reliability

Plan generation, storage and dispatch to meet growing compute demand. Test capacity, cost and reliability across operating scenarios.

Data center developers

Automate electrical studies

Compare electrical designs, generation and storage options. Automate studies across your existing engineering tools.

Chip companies

Rack-to-facility power optimization

Translate rack power profiles into facility deployment limits. Test power smoothing and allocation strategies to support more compute within existing power budgets.

Power traders

Congestion forecasting and market risk

Model how changes in load, generation and the network affect congestion, nodal prices and portfolio exposure.

Research

Research is core to how we work. Much of the team comes from a research background, we publish our papers, and a lot of our work is open-source.
