An on-site communications hardware (energy gateway) that allows for the integration of most of the distributed assets through the implementation of most employed industrial communication protocols:

1. · Solar plants, inverters, and plant controllers
2. · Battery systems
3. · Vehicle charging infrastructure
4. · Smart-grid-ready heat pumps many other manageable loads

The set of communication drivers include, as well, interfaces to communication standards employed by TSOs and DSOs (e.g. IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104)

Simplified asset models (digital twins) are included in the back-end to estimate the status of each asset, and recursively learn from their performance curves.

By embedding these, control algorithms and dispatching modes are optimized to govern each of the asset types smartly. The best strategy is chosen by comparing different optimization results that use state-of-the-art techniques (SVM, DP, MILP, NN).

Asset dispatching is optimized by taking into account both revenues (or savings) and amortization costs or usage costs. Hence, assets expected operative lifetime is maximized together with asset profitability.

In the electricity market, revenues are structured in layers: the futures market, the day-ahead market, the intraday market, or you can switch positions to go to deviations, or bid adjustment services. The decision you make in each layer, whether to buy or sell, affects the next layer.

One Solar’s team is not only expert in software and digital ecosystems but also in energy market structures, regulatory conditions, and energy trading.

We unlock the provision of different, stacked services, including long-term participation in capacity markets or PPAs, in combination with dynamic and fast-response services to help Network Operators balance electricity demand and supply.

Traditional approaches use recommendations that are generated by forecasting and artificial intelligence. However, most of these methods are purely deterministic.

We seek to fill the gap between traditional deterministic approaches and the trading logs, by incorporating the experience and knowledge of the traders into the decision chain.

Our management dashboard allows for traders to optimize the profitability of flexibility assets taking into account each of the market layers, and for the platform to continuously learn from trader’s experience.

The warranty package of the asset manufacturers and installers is included through user-friendly forms by our customers into the platform.

Technical warranties are monitored by the platform to ensure that the operating and usage parameters are met at all times and lifetime of the assets is assured.

Logging and alarm-triggering services are highly customizable to ensure meeting customer needs and adaptability to different asset portfolio structures.

Accurate data collection combines time-series tables (InfluxDB), structured tables (PostgreSQL), as well as non-relational databases (such as RDF SPARQL or document-based non-SQL as MongoDB)

Artificial intelligence data analysis, processing and cleaning tools help improving data comprehensiveness, which is essential to guarantee information transparency and which contributes to enhanced asset productivity and efficiency.

Automated reporting services can be configured to allow for customers and plant controllers to keep track of the technical and economic performance of their assets periodically.
