GridKern gives utility operators 15-minute-ahead load forecasts and automated demand-response dispatch — built on models trained on 7 years of SCADA telemetry.
GridKern surfaces forecast data directly into EMS/SCADA workflows. No model tuning required. No separate analytics team needed.
Probabilistic forecasts at 15-minute resolution for up to 72 hours ahead, with confidence intervals updated on every SCADA polling cycle.
Automated curtailment signals dispatched to enrolled DR assets when forecast-vs-actual deviation crosses configurable MW thresholds.
Solar and wind output forecasts ingested alongside load, so net-load predictions account for variable generation without manual correction.
One-time bulk import of raw interval data trains the base model. Ongoing sync via DNP3 or REST keeps forecasts calibrated to your grid's actual behavior.
Real-time push alerts when projected net load approaches reserve margins, giving dispatchers lead time before an imbalance event materializes.
Automated generation of BAL-001 and BAL-002 performance reports. Audit-ready logs exported to your existing regulatory reporting workflow.
Most utilities complete onboarding in under three weeks. No custom engineering required on your side.
Configure DNP3, Modbus, or REST polling. GridKern validates data quality and flags anomalous intervals before ingestion.
Upload 6–24 months of historical interval data. The ensemble model calibrates to your feeder topology and load profiles within 48 hours.
Define MW thresholds, enrolled asset lists, and dispatch sequencing in the operator console. No code required.
Forecasts feed into your EMS via the ISO-standard schedule feed. GridKern runs as a background service — no operator workflow changes.
The GridKern operator console shows current net-load forecast, confidence bands, real-time actual deviation, and queued DR asset availability — all in a single view designed for 60-second decision cycles.
Dispatchers don't navigate menus. The screen answers the question: Do I need to dispatch, and by how much?

"We were running day-ahead forecasts with 4–6% MAPE and accepting the balancing cost as a fixed overhead. GridKern's 15-minute updates cut that to under 1.8% within six weeks."Director of Grid Operations
"The DR dispatch rules took less than a day to configure. We've deferred two peaker starts this summer that previously would have been automatic."Senior System Dispatcher
"BAL-001 reporting used to take two engineers four hours every month. GridKern generates the export in the console. I clicked a button."Compliance Officer
We import your historical SCADA export, train the model, and show you forecast accuracy numbers before you commit to a contract.
