As the edge of the grid becomes exponentially more complex with the adoption of rooftop solar, electric vehicles, home batteries, and dynamic two-way power flow, utilities will need real-time visibility and decentralized decision-making and control. Without distributed AI solutions, electric distribution utilities will struggle to support the clean energy transition or widespread electrification. Utilidata, in collaboration with NVIDIA, has developed a smart grid chip, a future-proof next-generation edge intelligence platform powered by the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform. Portland General Electric, an innovative electric utility, is seeking to solve the industry's most complex challenges with distributed AI at the grid edge.
