OPERATE

The AI-Powered DER Operating System That Unlocks Higher Cost Savings and Return on Investment.


Validate Energy Savings

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.

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

Operate-graphic
OPERATE is the AI-powered predictive control software layer that augments existing EMS/control hardware by continuously optimizing how a microgrid runs, minute-by-minute, based on real-world conditions, further improving economics, emissions, resilience.
 

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.

01
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.

Guage
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.

End-to-end
 

Validate Savings Before Making an Investment

Xendee’s virtual simulator testbed fulfills two important tasks:

  1. Assessing savings before implementation by simulating different control strategies and identifying the optimal approach.

  2. 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.
