Simcore Orchestrate is an AI-powered platform that coordinates solar, battery storage, EV chargers, and smart loads into a single, optimized energy system — regardless of manufacturer.
Solar in one app, battery in another, EV charger in a third, thermostat in a fourth. Each device optimizes for itself; none optimizes for the household.
Existing energy management platforms are proprietary to a single manufacturer. Buy one brand's battery and you're locked into their ecosystem forever.
Without coordination, batteries discharge on schedules while EV chargers pull from the grid at peak rates. NREL estimates coordinated dispatch saves 20–40% vs. uncoordinated.
Existing controllers use if/then rules that can't adapt to weather changes, unexpected loads, or dynamic utility pricing. Intelligence requires AI, not rule tables.
6 GW of residential solar installed in 2024. Battery attach rates above 30% in key markets. 1.4M EVs sold. The devices are proliferating — but coordination isn't.
Coordinated BTM resources can support grid stability through demand response — but only if they communicate. Today's siloed devices can't participate.
Communicates via IEEE 2030.5, SunSpec Modbus, OCPP, MQTT, CTA-2045, and manufacturer cloud APIs (Enphase, EcoFlow, Tesla, ChargePoint, Ecobee, Shelly). Normalizes production, consumption, storage, and controllable loads into a common data model. Add a new device by adding a connector — no platform changes needed.
The core intelligence. Ingests real-time device telemetry, utility rate schedules, weather forecasts, battery state-of-charge, EV departure requirements, and occupant preferences. Generates optimized dispatch decisions every 5 minutes. Built on Simcore's production multi-agent AI framework — proven in 12+ months of autonomous operation.
One dashboard replacing multiple apps. Shows current energy flows, projected savings, device status, and a single comfort-vs-savings preference. The homeowner sees one system; the AI handles the complexity.
DOE/NIST-endorsed national standard for grid-to-DER communication. Required by California Rule 21 for smart inverters. The foundation for grid-interactive distributed energy.
DOE PriorityUtility-to-building demand response signaling. The bridge between BTM resources and grid operator dispatch — enabling coordinated load shifting and price-responsive behavior.
Grid-InteractiveThe foundational standard for connecting distributed energy resources to the electric grid. Updated in 2018 to require smart inverter functions including voltage and frequency ride-through.
FoundationalThe universal open standard for EV charger communication. Enables vendor-agnostic control of charging sessions, power levels, and scheduling across any OCPP-compliant charger.
EV IntegrationIndustry-standard protocol for solar inverter communication built on Modbus TCP. Supported by Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, Fronius, and virtually every commercial inverter manufacturer.
Solar IntegrationDOE-backed standard for communicating with energy-using products — water heaters, HVAC, pool pumps, and other controllable loads. Enables load flexibility without replacing existing appliances.
DOE PriorityMQTT for lightweight edge-to-cloud messaging across IoT devices. Matter (Apple/Google/Amazon) for emerging smart home interoperability. Both enable real-time telemetry from smart plugs, sensors, and thermostats.
Smart HomeStandardized access to utility usage data, enabling Orchestrate to ingest historical consumption patterns and real-time meter readings for optimization without utility-specific integrations.
Consumer DataDirect API connectors for Enphase, EcoFlow, Tesla, ChargePoint, Ecobee, and Shelly — providing immediate device compatibility while standards-based protocols mature across the ecosystem.
