Dynamic Grid

What Dynamic Grid does

Dynamic Grid is a Portland, Maine-based private software and energy technology company (operating under the legal entity Introspective Systems, LLC) that provides solutions to design, optimize, and deploy distributed energy resources on the electricity distribution grid. The company serves three primary customer segments — electric utilities, microgrid developers, and commercial/industrial building operators — with documented deployments spanning an unnamed New England utility, the Springfield Gardens 310-unit affordable housing complex in Syracuse, NY, and the Banyan Tree Eco-resort in Nevis.

The company's core technology is FlexDR, a machine learning-powered Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) that uses a proprietary Coordinated Local Price Reaction (CLPR) method based on simple economic market principles to coordinate variable loads, distributed energy resources, and energy storage in real time. FlexDR is delivered as three segment-specific modules: Utility FlexDR, Microgrid FlexDR, and Building FlexDR. Complementary to the software platform, Dynamic Grid also sells Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery energy storage systems in modular 20ft BESS units ranging from 124 kWh to 1.1 MWh in capacity and 40 kW to 520 kW in power, differentiated by 20+ year product life, 100% usable capacity, 3-5X faster C-rate than LFP, and operating range from -30C to 45C without external thermal management.

Dynamic Grid monetizes through three revenue streams: subscription or licensing access to the FlexDR software platform, hardware sales of LTO battery systems, and professional services for microgrid design and consulting. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with enterprise field sales targeting utilities and large microgrid developers, and an inside sales motion for mid-market building-level deployments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based via website contact forms and a direct sales team. The company has 1-10 employees, was founded around 2020 (spun out from Introspective Systems), and has raised approximately $1.1 million in a March 2025 funding round of unspecified type and undisclosed investors.

Core offering

Dynamic Grid sells the FlexDR DERMS software platform, which uses machine learning algorithms based on simple market principles to coordinate distributed energy resources, flexible loads, and energy storage on the distribution grid in real time. The company also sells complementary Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery energy storage systems in 20ft BESS units (124 kWh to 1.1 MWh) and offers microgrid design and consulting services to utilities, building operators, and microgrid developers.

Product overview

Dynamic Grid offers the FlexDR platform—a machine learning-powered DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management System) that coordinates distributed energy resources and flexible loads into one cybersecure, cost-effective, and scalable system. The product portfolio includes three specialized FlexDR modules (Building FlexDR, Microgrid FlexDR, and Utility FlexDR) targeting different customer segments (buildings, microgrids, and utilities respectively), plus a complementary Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Energy Storage product line. All FlexDR modules leverage the same core platform with machine learning algorithms based on simple market principles to optimize energy use in real time.
