A supercharged AI engine that evaluates millions of plausible threats to the power grid.
Sync Energy AI (SEA), is a foundational backend technology for data-driven power systems monitoring, simulations, and operations.
It was built to understand vulnerabilities of the power grid, under different - especially extreme operating scenarios - and rapid prototype defense strategies, and de-risk the nation’s critical infrastructure against natural disasters and cyber-attacks.
How does it work?
Step 1
We use the world’s highest resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery and process them with the world’s most precise tree-canopy detection Deep Neural Network, to know the height and status of vegetation.
Step 2
We create impending weather models based on live NOAA data, or hypothetical scenarios and simulate their impact on utility structures via Computational Fluid Dynamics in our “Virtual Weather Tunnels” . We also overlay our analytics on 30+ other extraneous factors, including economic and traffic models.
Step 3
The assimilated data sets are passed through on-premise data-servers which host SEA’s most advanced machine learning models and physics-based simulation engines.
We run unbalanced load flows in the digital models of utility feeder circuits to make sure that the power can be physically delivered safely, conforming to ANSI, IEEE, NESC, and NFPA regulations.
