Summary

An innovative approach to digital twins that enables decentralization of power grids at unprecedented speed and scale.

The Solution

The Agile Fractal Grid, Inc. has created a platform to help campuses and communities achieve energy security and meet renewable energy goals, while also providing contemporary broadband services.

• Provides templates for enabling mass customization at scale
• Allows for continuous improvement based on operational feedback
• Repeatable for others to compose their own customized implementation

Digital Twin Role

• Performs autonomous monitoring and analysis
• Provides prioritized real time optimization of energy consumption
• Enables efficient load balancing and storage

Decentralized Power Grid

When deployed at scale, this evolution of the power grid will provide a fully decentralized energy infrastructure, allowing for unparalleled energy redistribution and operational resilience.

Scalability

This Use Case provides a digital twin system of systems blueprint to develop and operate, using a mass customization approach, a decentralized energy infrastructure.

Production Improvements

The digital twin is a creation and optimizer engine, allowing for real-world operation and optimizations under the conflicting constraints including

• Safety and Security
• Operational Efficiency
• Economic Opportunity
