Intelligent Energy Control
Automated algorithms that decide when to charge, discharge, and shift load, so your microgrid keeps optimizing itself around the clock.
Optimize Power Use with
Built-in Energy Management
Built-in algorithms that lower costs by maximizing the use of onsite generation and storage while minimizing reliance on the grid.
Why Energy Management?
Fast Time‑to‑Value
Start with proven strategies out of the box; tune parameters to your site and go live quickly.
Cost & Demand Savings
Reduce peak demand charges, shift energy against prices, and increase onsite consumption.
Operational Confidence
Commission safely, validate performance, and monitor your power systems' health
Five Strategies for Every Scenario
The Power Platform continuously decides how and when to draw from the grid, discharge storage, or use onsite generation, so your microgrid runs at the lowest possible cost with minimal dependence on the grid.
Manual Charge‑Discharge
Run a full charge/discharge cycle to validate the battery during commissioning.
Click for details
Manual Charge‑Discharge
- Full-cycle validation of SOC & power limits
- Operator-defined charge/discharge power
- Ideal for test & acceptance procedures
Manual Peak‑Shave
Set a demand limit and use the battery to support loads above the threshold.

Manual Peak‑Shave
- Reduce electricity demand charges
- Lower stress on the grid connection
- Reliable support during high-demand periods
Energy Arbitrage
Charge and discharge the battery based on schedules and electricity prices.
Click for details
Energy Arbitrage
- Calendar-based schedules (season/weekday)
- Time-of-use peak & off-peak windows
- Maximize savings on price fluctuations
PPL Controller
Runs every strategy in real time
Auto Peak‑Shave
Automatically discharge the battery during scheduled peak-demand periods.
