This technology could fundamentally change our relationship to electricity
An “operating system” for power could double the efficiency of the grid.Using real-time data, 3DFS can clean up electricity

....

So 3DFS tech is gathering and analyzing enormous amounts of data in real time. What does it do with the analysis?

Using nanosecond-level data, it makes microsecond-level predictions about how to correct the signal, “noise canceling” along all of the 26 parameters it measures, yielding perfectly synchronized electricity.

It does this with its flash energy storage system (FESS). Using the real-time analytics, the FESS can inject or extract microamps of electricity from the three-phase signal, radically boosting power quality.

“We’re gathering data and making corrections before existing [systems] can even acquire their data,” Doerfler boasts.
