Pioneering Intelligent Energy Solutions

GridSeer is 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 and users with smarter tools for optimizing energy system performance, reducing costs, and achieving efficiency goals.

 The key challenge we’re addressing with GridSeer is the difficulty of integrating distributed energy resources for optimized performance. These resources range from wind, solar and batteries in grid applications, to boilers, chillers, steam generators and thermal storage for campus heating and cooling applications and even EV network design for optimized charging and discharging of vehicle batteries. While crucial for a secure energy future, these resources are variable and unpredictable, making it hard for providers and users to optimally balance supply and demand. As energy demand grows, especially as energy assets move more and more to the edge of the grid, the need for smarter energy management tools becomes critical to avoid higher risks, costs, and reduced reliability.

 GridSeer uses probabilistic forecasting and risk awareness to go beyond traditional energy system models. Instead of preparing for the "most likely" future scenario, our software evaluates all possibilities, enabling energy providers and users to make smarter, more cost-effective decisions for real-time energy 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 distributed energy assets more efficiently and sustainably into the grid and other energy systems.
