GridGuardian AI: Intelligence at the Edge
GridGuardian AI is a secure, predictive, and decentralized orchestration platform designed to manage distributed energy resources and strengthen grid infrastructure.
The Challenge
The U.S. grid faces increasing stress from aging infrastructure, rising demand, and cyber threats. An estimated $125B is lost annually to outages and inefficiencies. The Department of Energy projects eight hundred hours of annual blackouts by 2030. Existing distributed energy management systems lack the agility and intelligence to keep pace with these challenges.
Our Solution: GridGuardian AI
GridGuardian AI equips power companies with advanced control with consent over customer-owned distributed energy networks. It provides predictive orchestration of energy resources, adapts to real-time demand changes, and adds quantum encrypted cybersecurity layers to protect operations.
Technical Insights
GridGuardian AI transforms distributed energy assets into a reliable, intelligent fleet capable of precision dispatch at scale. At its core is an AI-powered forecasting engine that generates highly accurate, site-specific predictions for solar generation, consumption, and battery availability; turning uncertainty into confidence. When a utility requests energy, GridGuardian orchestrates a consensus-based dispatch across all sites, delivering exactly what's needed, exactly when it's needed. Each site’s edge computer runs autonomously with tailored instructions, ensuring seamless coordination, even in remote or disconnected environments.
Under the hood, a robust Model Predictive Control (MPC) engine continuously optimizes schedules based on changing forecasts, constraints, and real-time conditions. With built-in cybersecurity, flexible integration across fixed and mobile systems, and a distributed architecture designed for resilience, GridGuardian AI delivers the intelligence, trust, and control required for next-generation grid participation.
Key Features
Precision Forecasting for Reliable Grid Dispatch
Our intelligent forecasting engine leverages cutting-edge AI and machine learning to deliver the most accurate, site-specific predictions for solar generation, load consumption, and battery availability; turning uncertainty into confidence. By continuously analyzing real-time weather data, historical performance, and site-specific behavior, our system creates dynamic forecasts that power smarter day-ahead energy commitments. This precision enables energy operators to commit with certainty, reduce imbalance penalties, and maximize the value of every kilowatt, transforming your distributed energy resources into a predictable, high-performance asset.
Fleet Intelligence: Coordinated Energy Delivery from Distributed Sites
When a call for energy arrives, GridGuardian AI responds with precision, using real-time forecasts from every site in your fleet to build a consensus-based dispatch plan. Each site’s edge computer receives tailored instructions based on local solar, load, and battery capacity, ensuring that the collective response meets the target, on time, every time. By combining AI-driven forecasting with decentralized orchestration, we transform a network of independent systems into a synchronized, utility-grade energy resource you can count on.
Cybersecurity by Design
The platform incorporates a zero-trust architecture, encrypted field communications (LoRaWAN AES-128/256), and inline intrusion detection to protect critical infrastructure. A DMZ Sandbox isolates insecure vendor LANs. Eight CVEs have been assigned from third-party security audits.
Adaptive Integration
Designed for flexible deployment, GridGuardian AI operates across stationary microgrids and mobile systems like Ovanova’s Portable Energy Technology (PET).
How GridGuardian AI Works for Municipalities and Utilities
GridGuardian AI can be deployed as an overlay on existing infrastructure or integrated with new microgrid installations.
Municipal Utilities
Enable smarter load management, improve outage response, delay and reduce infrastructure upgrade costs and enhance grid security without overhauling legacy systems.
Energy Co-ops
Leverage distributed resource orchestration to optimize energy flow across grid edge communities in rural America.
Private Microgrids
Maximize on-site energy resiliency securely and intelligently to increase the value of the energy assets to the system owners and grid operators.
Why GridGuardian AI Matters
GridGuardian AI provides the intelligence and security needed for the next generation of resilient energy systems. By enabling predictive, adaptive, and secure control, it supports utilities, industries, and communities in achieving resilient energy delivery under evolving grid demands
