Ndustrial Receives U.S. DOE Grant to Enhance AI for Industrial Markets in Partnership with Lineage, ABB and NREL
Summary
U.S. DOE grant enables Ndustrial-led team to maximize grid flexibility while reducing costs and food waste in refrigerated operations using AIRALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ndustrial has received a Phase 1 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to enhance AI systems to maximize grid flexibility and reduce energy costs while ensuring food quality. The insights focus on predicting changes in food temperature during curtailment events to minimize impact on the grid and boost cost savings. "Billions of data points across hundreds of facilities reveal that were using too much energy to keep our food cold for no scientific reason," said Ndustrial co-founder and CTO John Crawford, who is leading the project as principal investigator. "Ndustrials platform has proven to help us reduce energy intensity at facilities by more than 30% the equivalent of nearly 250,000 homes annual electricity use by providing data visibility, optimizing temperature controls, and shifting operations to low-cost times where possible. A commercialization period will follow this to help deploy real-time temperature monitoring and AI-backed energy suggestions at refrigerated facilities across the world.
