AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Grid Monitor Agent
Real-time grid state awareness requires continuous monitoring of thousands of sensors, detecting anomalies, and correlating events across the distribution network.
Core Logic
Continuously ingests SCADA telemetry, transformer loading, voltage measurements, and power flow data. Applies ML models to detect grid anomalies and predict equipment stress. Monitors SAIDI/SAIFI reliability metrics. Triggers alerts when thresholds are exceeded and initiates response workflows.
Load Forecast Agent
Accurate load forecasting is essential for grid balancing but requires analysis of historical patterns, weather impacts, and special events.
Core Logic
Uses GPT-4 Turbo to analyze historical load curves, weather forecasts, calendar events, and economic indicators. Generates hourly, daily, and weekly load forecasts with confidence intervals. Identifies demand response opportunities and peak shaving potential. Feeds forecasts to DER coordination and trading systems.
Renewable Generation Forecast Agent
Variable renewable generation from solar and wind assets creates forecasting challenges that impact grid stability and market operations.
Core Logic
Integrates weather forecasts (irradiance, wind speed, cloud cover) with generation asset characteristics. Produces short-term (intraday) and day-ahead generation forecasts for solar PV and wind farms. Calculates forecast uncertainty and provides probabilistic scenarios for grid planning.
DER Coordination Agent
Distributed energy resources (solar, batteries, EVs) must be coordinated to support grid stability while respecting customer preferences and equipment constraints.
Core Logic
Manages virtual power plant aggregation across DER assets. Optimizes battery charge/discharge schedules, coordinates EV smart charging (OCPP), and dispatches demand response signals. Balances grid support with customer comfort settings. Uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet for complex optimization decisions.
Outage Management Agent
Grid outages require rapid detection, impact assessment, crew dispatch, and customer communication to minimize restoration time.
Core Logic
Correlates smart meter last-gasp signals with SCADA alarms to detect and locate outages. Estimates affected customers and critical loads. Optimizes crew dispatch based on location, skills, and restoration priority. Generates ETR estimates and triggers customer notifications. Tracks restoration progress.
Grid Self-Healing Agent
Manual switching operations during outages delay restoration and require skilled operators who may not be immediately available.
Core Logic
Analyzes grid topology and available switching options during faults. Identifies isolation and restoration sequences that minimize affected customers. Prepares automated switching plans for operator approval via HITL workflow. Executes approved sequences through SCADA with rollback capability.
Human Approval Coordinator Agent
Critical grid operations require human oversight but approval workflows must be fast, informed, and auditable.
Core Logic
Routes high-impact decisions (load shedding, switching, large DER dispatch) to appropriate operators. Provides context including AI reasoning, risk assessment, and recommended actions. Tracks approval status, escalates timeouts, and logs all decisions. Supports mobile approvals for field personnel.
