OPERATE
The AI-Powered DER Operating System That Unlocks Higher Cost Savings and Return on Investment.
Augment Existing Control with AI-Powered Predictive Capabilities
OPERATE continuously adjusts microgrid operation based on forecasted weather patterns and load changes, outages, and utility rates to optimize performance. This unlocks benefits critical to financial performance such as:
-
Demand charge reduction (Dynamic peak shaving, Time-of-use energy charge optimization, Load shifting)
-
Off-set costs by optimizing energy exports and market participation
-
Overall reduction of utility dependence and purchases
The result is lower costs, reduced carbon emissions, and extended equipment lifespans.
Trusted & Used By:
Real-Time Control for Optimal Energy Savings


OPERATE continuously monitors site conditions (load, utility prices, fuel prices, weather, DER availability, and outages) and automatically adjusts dispatch in real time to maintain optimal outcomes, even as conditions change.
Where Operate Fits in the Microgrid Control Stack

How To Get Started
01
Verify Savings
Start by validating your potential operational savings. Our team will use Xendee DESIGN and the OPERATE Virtual Simulator to assess and optimize the controller performance before we deploy OPERATE.
02
Integrate & Calibrate
Integrate your existing controller and DER technologies to gather operational data dynamically. This enables Xendee's AI platform to generate forecasts and an optimal dispatch strategy.
03
Control & Optimize
Use OPERATE to constantly evaluate your dispatch strategy in real time. This approach lets your team keep operations moving while also constantly searching for efficiency gains.
Validate Savings Before Making an Investment
Xendee’s virtual simulator testbed fulfills two important tasks:
-
Assessing savings before implementation by simulating different control strategies and identifying the optimal approach.
- Comparing savings at every timestep using OPERATE vs existing control configuration or traditional methods.
Get in contact with our team today to run an evaluation of your system and prove that savings can well exceed costs before installing.
