AutoGrid Named One of Smart Grid News' "15 Smart Grid Companies to Watch in 2015"

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2015) - AutoGrid Systems, a leader in big data analytics for the energy industry, has been named one of the "15 Smart Grid Companies to Watch in 2015" by Smart Grid News.

The list features innovative smart grid industry companies that will have a significant impact on the energy industry by leveraging emerging business and technology trends in the Internet of Things (IoT), energy storage, distributed energy resources, the connected home and home and building energy management.

AutoGrid was specifically recognized for providing innovative and compelling big data analytics solutions built on its Energy Data Platform (EDP). With EDP, energy service providers can drive new forms of digital engagement with customers, support new types of business initiatives and make grid operations more efficient and reliable.

Similar to advanced search engines, AutoGrid's forecasting and optimization engines use the wealth of structured and unstructured data generated by the grid and the assets connected to it to uncover usage patterns, establish correlations between pricing and consumption and analyze the interrelationships of tens of thousands of variables. With this data, energy service providers can forecast how much power will be required weeks -- or even minutes and seconds -- ahead of time. This intelligence helps energy service providers add renewable resources, such as solar and wind, to the grid in a way that minimizes their intermittent nature and power the next generation of Energy Internet applications.
