National Grid Partners (NGP)

Amperon Holdings, Inc., established in 2017 and headquartered in New York, NY, with an additional office in Houston, TX, operates in the technology sector. The company specializes in developing predictive tools for energy retailers and grid operators, leveraging smart meters and artificial intelligence to provide real-time operational grid intelligence. Amperon's platform offers real-time electricity demand forecasts, enabling energy suppliers and utilities to manage costs efficiently, even in the face of grid volatility caused by factors such as global pandemics, climate disasters, or complex grid dynamics.

VEIR is focused on advancing electricity transmission through the development of high-temperature superconductors and innovative cooling solutions. The company has created a passive evaporative cryogenic cooling technology that significantly enhances cooling efficiency, delivering 20 times more cooling power per kilogram of nitrogen flow compared to traditional mechanical subcooling methods. By utilizing commercial superconducting tape, VEIR's technology facilitates power delivery at transmission levels over distribution-scale infrastructure without resistive losses. This approach allows clients to streamline permitting processes and create economically viable electric transmission lines, thereby addressing the challenges associated with cooling high-temperature superconductors.

TS Conductor focuses on high-performance conductors designed for modern power grids, utilizing innovative transmission technology that features a carbon-fiber-composite core instead of traditional steel. This advancement results in conductors that are both lighter and stronger, enabling them to carry greater electrical currents with reduced energy loss and enhanced efficiency. The company manufactures covered conductors with an aluminum encapsulation, which safeguards the composite core from damage and corrosion. This design not only increases the capacity and reliability of electricity transmission and distribution but also promotes sustainability within the energy sector in a cost-effective manner.

Modern Hydrogen is an innovative energy technology company focused on delivering affordable electricity and clean hydrogen solutions. The company develops a distributed hydrogen production system that enables on-site generation of clean hydrogen while efficiently sequestering carbon. Their technology is designed to convert the heat from industrial and commercial boilers and furnaces into usable power, which helps minimize energy waste. By implementing these systems, Modern Hydrogen aims to assist clients in reducing operational costs, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing energy resilience during power outages.
