Demand Response

Virtual Peaker provides an SaaS platform that provides real-time control and monitoring of internet-connected devices through communication with third-party device manufacturer’s servers. While Nest, Ecobee and others focus on a single device approach, Virtual Peaker takes a whole-home approach to offer insights and control options for the homeowner’s generation, storage, electric vehicle (EV)charging, heating, water heating and other smart appliances. The platform controls each device independently, providing the capability for in-house orchestration and optimized consumption based on behavior and energy pricing. The system also offers a utility-branded customer engagement mobile/web app.

People Power’s brings together third-party devices, a multi-protocol gateway,and machine learning algorithms in a cloud-based white-label platform to offer utilities customer engagement and new business model opportunities in home safety, security, automation, and energy management. The solution’s automated bots learn preferences and behavior to drive energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) adoption. With more than 1.5 million downloads, People Power’s Presence Pro Energy services were shown to save engaged homeowners 7-15% on energy costs. With Android, iOS, web, Alexa and Google Home interfaces for homeowners, automated bots include demand response, time-of-use pricing, lighting, heating and cooling, systems fault detection, weather integration,and other interactive modules to engage the customer.

The DSS and GSS platforms integrates the battery, power conversion, and controls technology together. The system is pre-engineered to simplify design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintainence.
