How it works · four chapters

Every competitor asserts a benefit. This page shows the decision.

Start at your site. End at the money. In between, one full day of dispatch at half-hour resolution, with the tariff, the load profile and the assumption behind every number stated on the page.

  4. 04What it is worth
ILLUSTRATIVEEvery figure below is modelled on an Energex 8300 demand tariff and a generic 2.4 MW South East Queensland manufacturing load profile. No figure on this page is a client result. A real assessment runs twelve months of your own interval data through the same engine.
Chapter 01

This is your site, and one thing is running all of it.

Generation, storage and flexible load, delivered under a single EPC contract with one party accountable for the outcome. The control layer sees all three, and the market they sit inside.

The illustrative site combines a 3.15 MW rooftop solar array, a 2 MW / 4.5 MWh battery and flexible cooling loads, connected through intelligent control.

Chapter 02

Here is everything, and how it connects.

Four assets, three external signals, one decision layer. The diagram shows how generation, storage and flexible loads exchange signals with intelligent control.

Chapter 03

Watch it decide.

One day at half-hour resolution. The dashed line is this site with solar and nothing deciding; the solid line is the same site, same load, same weather, with Vitalic dispatching. The gap between them is the entire argument.

What the control layer decides, and when

  1. 01:00Hold charge overnight. Price flat, load minimal.
  2. 06:30Array online, daytime imports falling.
  3. 10:30Shift EV charging into the solar peak, rather than exporting it for cents.
  4. 12:20Charge the battery on what is left of the surplus.
  5. 12:30Bid FCAS raise availability for the evening.
  6. 15:00Pre-cool the building before the demand-charge window opens.
  7. 16:45Demand window open. Discharge to hold grid draw under the cap.
  8. 18:10Wholesale price event. Curtail HVAC 15 minutes and ride the spike.
  9. 21:15Window closed. Release loads and trickle-charge against tomorrow’s forecast.
Chapter 04

And this is what that day is worth over a year.

Solar alone earns two things. The same hardware with a control layer earns four, and the two it adds are the two that pay in the evening. Three assets earn; the fourth multiplies what they earn.

This day carries a wholesale spike, so its dispatch value is applied at 45 spike days a year rather than 365, annualising a spike day as if it happened daily is exactly the trick this page exists to avoid. A real assessment runs twelve months of your interval data instead of extrapolating one. Market revenue for dispatched flexibility is modelled at zero until registration is in place; we would rather understate it.

You have just watched a modelled day. The next one should be yours.
