WeaveGrid, a grid-edge orchestration software provider for electric utilities, and FranklinWH, a provider of residential energy storage systems, have announced a partnership to integrate FranklinWH battery systems into WeaveGrid’s Distribution-Integrated System Capacity Orchestration (DISCO) platform.
DISCO has been widely deployed to manage electric vehicle (EV) charging programs at the distribution level. Through this integration, utilities will be able to coordinate residential battery systems alongside EV managed charging and other behind-the-meter distributed energy resources (DERs) under a single orchestration layer.
The platform supports device-level, location-aware dispatch, allowing utilities to target specific feeder and transformer constraints, manage localized peak demand, and coordinate multiple asset types in parallel.
By integrating residential batteries into the same framework used for EV load management, utilities can co-optimize EV charging and storage resources to address distribution-level operating conditions.
For utilities, the partnership expands visibility and dispatch capability across DER portfolios. For residential customers, it enables participation in utility programs that provide grid services while maintaining backup power functionality.
WeaveGrid stated that the collaboration extends the asset-level monitoring and control utilities currently use for EV charging programs to include residential storage systems. The integration reflects growing utility focus on coordinating EV load growth and distributed storage to manage electrification impacts at the grid edge.
The partnership builds on WeaveGrid’s existing ecosystem of EV, EVSE, and battery OEM integrations and represents an expansion of its EV-centric orchestration model into broader distributed energy resource management.
