San Francisco Use-Case Mission
California's grid runs on a fast-growing share of solar, wind and battery storage, and operators have to balance it minute by minute. This summit brings energy producers and utilities together to pin down the AI use cases that improve forecasting, asset health and dispatch, and the data each one needs.
Each summit is capped at 40 participants: operations, engineering, plant and digital leaders from manufacturing, oil & gas and energy companies, alongside STAGE-X engineers. No sales decks. Real use cases, the data behind them, and working prototypes from STAGE-X Residency teams.
Use-Case Sessions
October 31 – November 1, 2026 • Full-Day Program
-
Use Case 01 FORECASTING
Solar & Wind Output Forecasting
Using weather, satellite and plant data to forecast generation hours to days ahead, and finding where forecast errors cost operators the most.
-
Use Case 02 ASSET HEALTH
Battery & Inverter Health Monitoring
Spotting degradation and fault patterns in storage systems and inverters early enough to plan maintenance instead of reacting to failures.
-
Use Case 03 GRID OPERATIONS
AI-Assisted Dispatch & Curtailment Decisions
Decision support for control rooms deciding when to store, release or curtail power, with operators keeping the final say.
