When the grid has too much power (e.g., on a sunny, windy day) or too little, it becomes unstable. Grid operators need to quickly increase or decrease consumption to restore balance. 

INOWATTIO's platform automatically signals your facility to adjust consumption in your flexible assets for a short period. You earn revenue for providing this essential balancing service, without disrupting your core operations.

Facilities with flexible, high-capacity electrical loads, such as:

• Aluminum Smelters & Steel Production
  Utilize energy-intensive processes that can be ramped up or down.

• Cement & Chemical Production
  Leverage large mills, kilns, and electrolysis for grid services.

• Industrial Gas Production & Electrolysis
  Adjust output (e.g., for hydrogen) based on electricity prices and grid needs.

• Cold Storage & Refrigeration
  Act as a "thermal battery" by adjusting temperatures within safe bands.

• Large-Scale HVAC & District Heating
  Pre-cool or pre-heat large commercial/industrial spaces and water systems.

When the grid has an oversupply of energy (e.g., on a very sunny or windy day), the Transmission System Operator (TSO) needs to urgently reduce generation to maintain stability. Instead of shutting down conventional power plants, the TSO will pay renewable generators to temporarily stop injecting power into the grid. 

INOWATTIO connects you to this lucrative balancing market, automatically signals your facility to curtail output when needed, and ensures you are paid for providing this critical service. This creates a valuable, predictable revenue stream entirely separate from the price you get for the energy you produce.

Developers, owners, and operators of utility-scale renewable energy assets, including:

• Wind Farms
  Use their control systems to quickly reduce output without harming the turbines.

   

• Large-Scale Solar PV Parks
  Utilize inverters to instantly stop injecting power into the grid.

• Hydroelectric Power Plants
  Capitalize on the inherent flexibility of hydro turbines for a range of balancing and reserve services.

• Biogas & Biomass Plants
  Offer dispatchable power that can be quickly ramped down on command.

The core of battery profitability is energy arbitrage: buying low and selling high. INOWATTIO automates this process on an industrial scale. We signal your battery to charge when electricity prices are low or even negative (during periods of oversupply). You can even be paid to charge. 

Then, when prices spike, our system automatically signals your battery to discharge, selling the stored energy back to the grid for a significant profit. This cycle can be repeated multiple times a day, maximizing your revenue.

This is ideal for owners and operators of large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), including:

• Stand-Alone Grid-Scale Batteries
  Assets deployed specifically to play in energy markets and provide ancillary services.

• Co-located Storage
  Batteries paired with solar or wind farms to store excess generation and sell it at more profitable times.

• Behind-the-Meter Industrial Storage
  Large batteries at industrial sites used for both peak shaving and market participation.

Instead of relying solely on large, centralized power plants for grid balancing, you can tap into a geographically distributed network of flexible industrial loads, renewable generators, and battery storage systems. 

INOWATTIO aggregates these resources into a single, reliable Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that you can dispatch on demand. This provides faster, more granular control over the grid, reduces reliance on fossil fuels for balancing, and creates a more stable, efficient, and cost-effective energy system for everyone.

Our platform is a powerful tool for forward-thinking energy system managers, including:

• Transmission System Operators (TSOs)
  Procure balancing services and ancillary services more efficiently, improve grid stability, and manage congestion with a network of fast-responding distributed assets.

• Distribution System Operators (DSOs)
  Manage local grid constraints, defer costly network upgrades, and improve power quality by leveraging flexibility within your distribution network.

• Utility Companies & Energy Suppliers
  Reduce your imbalance costs, create new services for your large industrial customers, and build a more resilient portfolio of energy resources.

We connect to your energy assets—be it industrial machinery, battery systems, or renewable generators—through secure, industry-standard protocols. Our system establishes a digital twin of each asset.

Our platform analyzes the operational constraints and capabilities of each asset to precisely quantify its available flexibility (e.g., ramp rates, capacity, duration).

The FlexPower engine continuously evaluates real-time market signals and grid conditions to determine the most profitable and technically feasible way to deploy your aggregated flexibility.

Once a dispatch instruction is confirmed, our system sends automated control signals to your assets, executing the flexibility provision with precision while respecting all operational boundaries.
