Trusted by energy leaders for
30+ years
Energy is all we do. We’re power systems engineers with a track record of driving major technology shifts in energy. For 30 years, we’ve created new markets and improved operations for utilities, co-ops, and communities.
Our Mission
Orchestrating the
energy transition
AI Genie
CAISO operators leverage our AI for outage management
Operators used to spend countless hours reviewing outage data. Rising load growth fueled by electrification and data centers demanded a new approach.
Solution
OATI partnered with CAISO to implement an AI-assisted retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system that improves processing speed, situational awareness, and streamlines workflows.
DERMS
Hawaii’s flexibility, powered by DERMS
Hawaiian Electric needed to manage increasing levels of grid-scale and behind-the-meter renewables and energy storage with limited fast-ramping generation.
Solution
OATI DERMS and GridMind® controller enable autonomous frequency response and dispatchable reserves from residential and commercial DERs.
Microgrids & Asset Controls
Dynamic orchestration and resilience on the Atlantic coast
North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives wanted to design a dynamic and resilient system capable of orchestrating behind-the-meter and grid-scale assets, including microgrids, energy storage, and solar farms in support of 26 member co-ops.
Solution
Using OATI’s DERMS and GridMind® controller, NCEMC orchestrates reliable microgrids with automated islanding, demand response, and solar+BESS integration and optimization, as well as system-wide DER programs.
Transmission & Reliability
Secure, reliable bulk power operations
FERC Order 881 mandated transmission providers implement ambient-adjusted ratings to improve grid efficiency and support unprecedented load growth. Many required year-long extensions in order to comply.
Solution
6 transmission providers successfully deployed OATI’s webLineR® solution for AAR ahead of FERC’s original deadline, with some already pursuing real-time ratings as the next step of innovation.
Energy Markets & Risk
Real-time trading and compliance
APS needed to replace an aging ETRM system to address growing compliance pressures and support real-time energy trading across physical and financial markets.
Solution
OATI’s webCTRM suite enabled APS to comply with Dood-Frank and FERC regulatory changes, automate trade capture, and integrate directly with OASIS and ICE Trade Vault.
Smart Meters
Right-sized smart metering for municipalities
Three cities in Illinois – Flora, Metropolis, and Breese – needed improved situational awareness and efficiency for their municipal-owned utilities. However, small communities have historically been priced-out of advanced metering infrastructure due to steep costs.
Solution
By adopting OATI’s IoT-based AMI solution, a modern, easy to install network of devices that utilizes open standards, these communities eliminated truck rolls, gained situational awareness during outages, and established a network capable of supporting countless smart cities applications with no additional network investment.
