Pioneering Intelligent Energy Solutions

GridSeer is a new venture focused on commercializing advanced energy management solutions developed at Duke University’s GRACE Lab. GRACE is an AI software suite developed with $2.5 million in funding under ARAPA-E’s PERFORM program to improve forecasting of electric grid outcomes and assess operator risk. GridSeer's mission is to empower energy providers with smarter tools for optimizing grid performance, reducing costs, and achieving sustainability goals.

The key challenge we’re addressing with GridSeer is the difficulty of integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar into electricity grids. While crucial for a sustainable future, these sources are variable and unpredictable, making it hard for providers to balance supply and demand. As energy demand grows, especially with more "prosumers"—those who produce and consume energy—the need for smarter tools becomes critical to avoid higher risks, costs, and reduced reliability.

GridSeer uses probabilistic forecasting and risk awareness to go beyond traditional models. Instead of preparing for the "most likely" scenario, it evaluates all possibilities, enabling providers to make smarter, more cost-effective decisions on energy loads and resource deployment.

GridSeer improves reliability, reduces risk, and helps providers make smarter, and economical decisions. As we transition to cleaner energy, GridSeer will play a key role in integrating renewable energy more efficiently and sustainably into the grid and other energy systems.
