Every enterprise owns a battery, it just needs to be turned on

Discover the untapped capacity already inside your buildings and activate it. This solution combines predictive AI with real-time energy orchestration; forecasting, detecting, and optimizing idle energy capacity in buildings before it is wasted, not after. The platform transforms advanced data intelligence into operational flexibility and new revenue streams. Optimize seamlessly integrates with SAP S/4HANA and SAP Distributed Energy Resources. A partner that is a member of SAP’s curated startup ecosystem.

Overview

The virtual battery network (VBN™) platform helps businesses make money

Unlock more value from existing infrastructure and avoid peak demand charges by sharing idle capacity. Your personal optimize agent will answer all your questions about your energy behaviors, flexibility, and revenue opportunities. Use this solution to recoup up to 70% of unused demand charges by sharing flexible capacity with peer facilities and energy companies.

Optimize demand in real time across your entire building portfolio

This solution continuously orchestrates flexible capacity across your portfolio, actively reducing and reshaping demand (kW) in real time to lower peak loads, cut demand charges, and unlock revenue from shared energy capacity.

Coordinate dispatchable capacity across a network of buildings

A single building can shift load. A network of buildings becomes a dispatchable battery. This solution coordinates across every enrolled facility so the combined resource is more reliable, more flexible, and more valuable than any individual site alone. The VBN™ is deployed 20 times faster and 95% cheaper as compared to new gas generation.

Features

Share peer-to-peer energy capacity

Businesses pay for peak demand they don't use 80% of the time, resulting in unused idle capacity. This solution enables businesses to monetize their idle capacity. They can recoup up to 70% of unused demand charges. Buyers of idle capacity can save at least 20% off utility rate and protect the grid.

Share peer-to-peer energy capacity
Manage energy assets in the registry

View, manage, and edit energy assets registered under your account. With built-in automation, you can coordinate distributed resources, such as solar, batteries, and flexible loads, while detecting anomalies in performance to proactively reduce energy waste and costs.

Manage energy assets in the registry
Plug directly into your building's existing infrastructure seamlessly

This solution connects to the energy assets and building management systems already in your buildings through standardized gateways and open protocols. No rip-and-replace, no disruption to occupants, no vendor lock-in, just software layered on top of what you already own.
