Gridbeyond LLC

Bil Advanced Reliability and Resiliency Operations for Wind and Solar (ARROWS) Artificial Intelligence (ai)-driven Software Is a Solution to the Increasing Penetration of Data-rich Inverter-based Resources (ibr). Partnering With an Electricity Utility Partner We Will Implement Gridbeyond’s Renewable Controls Platform (RCP) Software, an Ai-powered Platform Used to Forecast, Optimize, and Control Mw-scale Ibrs. in Budget Period 1 We Will Integrate the RCP Platform Into the Partners’ Operations and Dispatch Software to Provide Centralized and Local Control. We Will Finally Commission a Quarterly Stakeholder Committee of Local Stakeholders (SAC) to Ensure the Project Benefits the Community. Next, in Period 2 We Will Initiate the First Phase of Demonstrating Traditional Grid Services on Ibrs (non-event Regulating Operating Reserves) Using the Partners’ Solar PV and Bess Resources. at the Conclusion of the Demonstration We Will Analyze the Platform Performance to Validate the Demonstration and Identify Opportunities for Improvement. We Will Also Initiate a Grid Services Cost-benefit Analysis to Identify Opportunity Costs of Utilizing Ibrs to Provide Grid Services Over Energy Services. Finally in Budget Period 3 Will Conduct a Second 6-MONTH Demonstration of an Emerging Grid Service (fast Frequency Response). to Promote Learning and Capacity Building, We Will Hold a Regional Grid Integration Workshop, Develop Detailed Technical Requirements, Publish Open-source Data on the Demonstration Metrics, and Disseminate Findings Through Conference Presentations, Webinars, and Technical Reports. Overarching All, We Seek to Develop a Workforce Development Pipeline by Employing Local University Students That Can Blossom to the Next Generation of Grid Operators.
