For utility companies, our controllers offer powerful solutions for grid management. They help with frequency regulation, voltage stability, and congestion management, optimizing grid performance with minimal need for communication. These devices operate independently, reducing operational complexity while ensuring cost-effective deployment.
With GIT’s easy-to-install controllers, utility companies can enhance their grid stability, engage consumers, and reduce peak demand, all while maintaining lower operational costs and improving overall grid efficiency.
The GIT controllers are real-time autonomous demand controllers that provide grid functionalities with little communication, with the help from our patented stochastic technology. Here are the examples of grid functionalities our controller could provide.
Frequency Regulation
When deploying a large fleet of our GIT controllers with quick and easy installation in residential homes, the controllers can sense power grid frequency at the installation location and make on/off decisions to regulate the grid frequency. With our innovative stochastic control technology, the on/off decisions made by a large number of controllers are essentially coordinated, with no communication required, to prevent over-reaction to grid frequency changes.

Market Participation
If your company participates in one of the US power markets, our GIT controller is designed for you. FERC 2222 allows distributed energy resources to participate in energy markets, and our GIT controllers can assist you aggregate consumers, track grid signals, and make optimal profit-driven decisions.
Restoration
Our GIT controller is also equipped with an emergency operation function. When the grid experiences outages or blackouts, especially after natural disasters (hurricanes, wildfires), our GIT controllers can autonomously achieve cold load pickup, and grid frequency stabilization, without the need of communication which is scarce during those emergency times.
