Can you solve this grid-management riddle?
Two homes use an average of 30 kWH per day. One is 1000 ft2 (93 m2) the other 3000 ft2 (279 m2). Why is their consumption the same?
In this 2-minute video, Bidgely VP of Strategy & Growth Jeff Wahl explains how answers to riddles like this one can have a big impact on your grid’s resiliency.
Fortunately for grid operators, it’s now possible to leverage hyper-specific consumption data about each customer to build a bottom-up, high-fidelity picture of the grid rather than relying on generalized data sets and estimations.
Time-of-Use (TOU) rates require consumers to rethink the way they use energy. So education and transparency are important in helping them understand how the new rate plans work and how to get the most value from the rate.
In this 1-minute ungated video, Bidgely Strategy & Growth Lead Pauline Marcou explains how personalized coaching on an ongoing basis can deliver TOU success.
When a household decides to install rooftop solar or buy an electric car, the effect of that customer’s energy footprint on the local grid is suddenly amplified. These are big appliances.
With energy now flowing both ways, a traditional one-size-fits-all approach to forecasting is increasingly inadequate.
In this two-minute video, Bidgely Cofounder and CTO Vivek Garud shares why a bottom-up approach, using granular data at the home level and then aggregating to form a picture of the grid at the transformer and substation levels, yields a much clearer picture of what's going on.
Among the many reasons why customers are transitioning to electric vehicles, saving on gas costs each month is a big factor. And EV customers particularly have big potential to save on time of use rates. So there is big incentive to engage with those customers early on, proactively, and on an ongoing basis to help them maximize their savings.
In this 2-minute, ungated video, Bidgely Strategy & Growth Lead Pauline Marcou shares how advanced smart meter analytics enable personalized energy use coaching, setting the stage for a different kind of consumer-utility relationship as well as greater customer satisfaction resulting from realizing the full benefits of their new vehicle.
Grid resiliency and reliability are hot topics lately, especially as Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as solar and EVs increasingly connect to the grid.
One utility in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. wanted to better understand how increasing DERs would impact existing feeder mapping and whether the current configuration could withstand these new assets.
In this 2-minute ungated video, Bidgely Director of Innovation Maria Kretzing shares how Bidgely helped the utility conduct a bottom-up analysis of grid load using our Analytics Workbench solution.
