Turning biogas into bigger profits

A German biogas plant ran its compressors at a fixed 80% load, ignoring the power market. We built the optimiser, digital twin and IoT control layer that made dispatch follow price — and built the business case that won board approval.

Disaggregation of Loads

A patented machine-learning system (US 10,734,809) that disaggregates lighting loads from circuit-level data — calculating run-times for an automated M&V billing system so US SMEs can fund retrofits from verified savings.

Substation PV Inverter Control

A front-of-meter system that lets a UK substation send real-time export-limit signals to 500 homes' solar inverters (up to 2MW peak) — curtailing only the minimum needed for grid stability, with a zero-export failsafe.

EV Fleet Feasibility & ROI

Before a fleet electrifies, it needs to know whether the numbers work. We built the feasibility and ROI model that answered that honestly — including where it didn't.
