Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Grid Rails is a software platform that connects to distributed energy devices such as electric vehicle chargers, home batteries, solar inverters, and smart thermostats to give grid operators and energy suppliers real-time visibility into and programmatic control over these resources. It combines that awareness and control with automated financial settlement, so device owners can be compensated when their equipment is called on to shift, reduce, or supply electricity in coordination with grid needs.
