Veritone Energy Solutions wins highest honors in Business Intelligence Group annual AI industry awards program.

Launched in the fall of 2020, Veritone’s energy solutions optimize smart grid energy distribution by continuously knowing how much of what type of energy to deliver where, providing grid resilience and autonomous microgrid management when portions of the grid fail, and optimal economic dispatch during normal operations.

The solutions deliver supply/demand forecasting, energy smoothing and optimization, DER synchronization and predictive control, energy arbitrage, and smart grid simulation. The solutions collect current weather forecast data, energy demand, and pricing data, and detect the current state and capacity of all energy devices, to intelligently determine the ideal energy supply mix and pricing to meet grid demand, in real time. Utilities and developers can now deliver profitable renewable energy with unparalleled grid efficiency and resiliency.

Veritone’s AI solutions for energy are covered by 13 patents issued in the United States and other countries, with an additional 16 patent applications pending. The patented Cooperative Distributed Inferencing (CDI) technology forms the backbone of Veritone Energy Solutions, delivering real-time dynamic modeling and control that continuously ensures predictable energy distribution and resilience across the grid.

“We are honored to be recognized as a top AI company for our suite of AI-powered energy solutions,” said Chad Steelberg, CEO and founder of Veritone. “As the world transitions to more renewable energy resources, the unpredictability of these green energy sources poses a challenge to supply and demand. AI enables grid operators and developers to better forecast, dispatch and store energy in real-time enabling a smooth transition to renewables.”

The Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program recognizes the organizations, products and people who bring AI to life and apply it to solve real problems. This is the second consecutive win for Veritone. In 2020, Veritone’s turnkey AI applications for law enforcement agencies, Veritone IDentify and Veritone Redact, were recognized in the inaugural Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program.

“We are so proud to name Veritone as a winner in our Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program”, said Maria Jimenez, chief nominations officer for Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our judges that Veritone was using AI to improve the lives of their customers and employees. Congratulations to the entire team!”

Veritone’s AI-powered energy solutions are comprised of four flagship energy applications – Forecaster, to accurately predict energy supply, demand and price; Optimizer, to make AI-based energy supply determinations; Controller, for dispatch reliability, predictive device control, and synchronization; and Arbitrage, for buying, selling and dispatching energy in near-real-time – built on Veritone’s operating system for AI, aiWARE™.
