WeaveGrid and FranklinWH are partnering to enable orchestration of residential energy storage systems for utility programmes. The collaboration allows utilities to dispatch FranklinWH home batteries to manage specific distribution constraints, such as overloaded transformers or feeders.

The integration expands WeaveGrid’s Distribution-Integrated System Capacity Orchestration (DISCO) platform. This allows utilities to coordinate residential batteries alongside electric vehicle (EV) charging through a single management layer, providing location-aware dispatch based on real-time grid conditions.

The partnership enables utilities to target dispatch to specific distribution assets, including substations and feeders, and co-optimise multiple asset types (batteries and EVs) under one platform. It also allows them device-level control to reduce localised peak demand, and to automate participation in utility financial incentive programmes for homeowners.

Apoorv Bhargava, CEO of WeaveGrid, said the partnership extends the asset-level visibility utilities currently use for EVs to residential battery systems. The goal is to help utilities manage local grid constraints as residential electrification increases.

FranklinWH, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, manufactures whole-home energy management and storage solutions. The company is AVL-listed with multiple financial institutions and provides systems designed for both consumer backup and utility-scale flexibility services.
