Summary. Disaggregation offers a huge value by lowering risk and improving cost effectiveness of DSM programs, if it can be unlocked. In a world of increasing distributed energy resources and local grid constraints, grid planning can be made more precise, granular and actionable with disaggregation. New revenue generation, marketing and customer support are also promising use cases.

The effects of climate change are worsening as countries around the world experience more heat waves and unpredictable weather. The problem of global warming crosses geopolitical lines and boundaries, and thus must be addressed by humanity as a whole. While each country is doing its best to improve environmental efforts on a nationwide scale, it’s the sum of all these initiatives that will make a worldwide difference.

I joined AutoGrid in March 2011, so I’ve been with the company from day zero. I was fascinated by the idea of an engineering system that could control the electricity grid by applying machine learning and Big Data and controls. The concept was a very large closed loop control system that could operate on a single platform, something that hadn’t seemed possible in the past.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
