Ask the Grid is a dynamic real-time tool that provides an interactive map and cutting-edge research desk for the United States power grid. The platform allows users to monitor what is happening on the grid, enabling users to understand the reasons behind particular dynamics across ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, and NYISO.
With an underlying AI mechanism, users can ask the tool questions about events or changes on the grid and receive responses with reference to source data.
The platform offers a live market map of the US power grid, from load to congestion, backed by real-time Intelligent System Operator data, and also presents a mechanism that answers user inquiries with detail, attaching references to each response.
These data-driven features enable users to understand and explain market changes. Another key feature is that users can layer additional data such as zones, price nodes, transmission, generation, outages, and weather over the geographical map, enhancing the depth of their grid analysis.
