The Challenge

The grid was destabilizing due to rapid renewable adoption. Human operators couldn't react fast enough to wind/solar fluctuations.

Client Overview

The national body responsible for electricity transmission faced stability challenges with the influx of intermittent renewable energy sources.

National-scale grid
High renewable penetration
Stability instability
Zero-downtime mandate

Solution Components

Load Balancing Agent

RL agents controlling substations to balance frequency in milliseconds.

Demand Response

Automated signaling to industrial consumers to shed load during peaks.

Renewable Forecasting

Hyper-local weather models predicting solar/wind output 24h ahead.

Challenges & Risks

1

Intermittency

Solar/wind volatility risked grid collapse without rapid buffering.

2

Cyber-Physical Risk

AI control loops had to be air-gapped from public networks.

Key Impact

18%
reduction in energy wastage from balancing inefficiencies
99.999%
grid uptime achieved over 12 months
40%
drop in manual intervention events
200MW
of virtual capacity unlocked via demand response

The Solution

We deployed a deep reinforcement learning control plane that predicts supply drops and automatically rebalances loads across 500+ substations.
