Harness demand flexibility at the grid edge – and turn DER challenges into Grid Opportunities with IntelliFLEX
IntelliFLEX leverages Grid Edge Intelligence to transform behind-the-meter DERs into dynamic grid assets, seamlessly integrating EVs, batteries, solar, and flexible loads. By combining real-time DER coordination with low-voltage network visibility, utilities can improve grid reliability, economic dispatch, and decarbonization efforts while reducing peak loads by up to 30% through standards-based integrations (IEEE 2030.5, OCPP, OpenADR).
-
Real-Time Visibility & Distributed Intelligence (DI) leverages DI and AMI-based telemetry to enable real-time DER coordination, automation, and granular grid awareness, enabling faster, localized decision-making and improved outage response.
-
Targeted Load Forecasting & DER Coordination. AI-driven forecasting enhances bi-directional AMI-to-Grid Operations data streaming, improving DER integration, load balancing, and flexible demand-side participation while meeting regulatory compliance (FERC 2222, NEM reform, §14a EnWG).
-
Asset Protection & Peak Load Management optimizes grid utilization to reduce infrastructure strain, helping utilities defer costly upgrades while improving grid reliability.
Enhanced Scalability & Modularity by Design
IntelliFLEX is built for scale - supporting millions of DERs with AI-driven forecasting and real-time load balancing. Whether modernizing load control, integrating EVs, or expanding battery aggregation, IntelliFLEX seamlessly expands with your grid needs, reducing integration costs by 30% compared to alternatives.

Bringing it all together
"The rapid growth of EVs, solar and battery storage is reshaping the grid, introducing new connectivity challenges. IntelliFLEX bridges the gap by enabling seamless DER coordination through AI-driven forecasting, real-time grid telemetry and distributed intelligence. By integrating DERs into utility operations, planning and forecasting, IntelliFLEX ensures grid resilience, flexibility and long-term reliability."
Turning Behind-the-Meter DERs into Grid Assets
As DER adoption accelerates, utilities must rethink power procurement and grid operations to accommodate rapid electrification. IntelliFLEX transforms behind-the-meter DERs into valuable grid assets, providing real-time optimization, forecasting and demand flexibility to improve grid resilience and customer engagement.
