distributed energy system

OAKLAND, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Whisker
Labs, bringing next generation home energy intelligence technologies
to market, today announced it has been named a 2017 Grid Edge Award
winner by Greentech Media. Whisker Labs was selected from hundreds of
nominations and was presented the award at Grid
Edge World Forum, which takes place June 27^th-29^th,
2017 in San Jose, California.

Every year, Greentech Media seeks to highlight the industry leaders
paving the way toward tomorrow’s distributed energy system. The Grid
Edge Awards represent the top twenty companies or projects that showcase
innovative products, introduce new business models to the electricity
sector, or otherwise present alternative ways of managing the electric
grid that are more efficient and reliable. Started in 2014, Grid Edge
Award winners have included start-ups, established technology vendors,
utilities, energy providers, among others.

Whisker Labs was recognized by Greentech Media for its breakthrough
do-it-yourself (DIY) home
energy monitoring sensor and home intelligence platform that
delivers real-time power usage and diagnostic information for home
appliances – without costly and complex professional installation. This
includes the ability to monitor the power usage and health of heating
and cooling systems as well as non-connected appliances like
refrigerators, dishwashers and washer/dryers to identify energy hogs and
pre-empt failures.

Power data collected at thousands of times a second by the Whisker Labs
sensor will inform and enhance Connected
Savings℠ Intelligent Demand Side Management (IDSM) services to
deliver advanced demand response and energy efficiency. Whisker Labs’
energy intelligence platform integrates connected home devices with
proprietary weather data to develop predictive algorithms that keep
homeowners comfortable while they manage and optimize energy usage to
improve grid stability and boost energy efficiency. Connected Savings
services have been shown to deliver 3X more HVAC savings when combined
with connected thermostats, and as much as 1.76 kW/home in peak load
reduction in demand response programs in Texas.

“We’ve solved a very hard problem, measuring energy use in the home in
real-time and at high frequencies through contactless sensing,” said
Amena Ali, chief revenue officer, Whisker Labs. “We are delighted to
receive the 2017 Grid Edge Award for our DIY energy sensor and data
services platform which enable new ways to enhance grid efficiency,
engage consumers and provide a path to making every home a connected
home.”

At Grid Edge World Forum, Ali will be speaking on a panel
at the Grid Edge World Forum, “The Plug & Play Grid: Realizing the Full
Opportunity of the Internet of Things.” Whisker Labs will also have a
live demo of their new sensor at Grid Edge World Forum in booth #501.
