Energiate

Energiate is a modular energy optimization platform designed to integrate generation, storage, and consumption in microgrids and large facilities. It provides modeling, control, and analytics to improve energy efficiency, resilience, and cost savings.

The platform comprises an energy modeling engine, a containerized control layer, data connectors for sensors and external sources, and an open API. It uses predictive analytics and optimization algorithms to schedule storage, dispatch renewables, and manage demand response, while supporting interoperability through open standards.

Origin and development: Energiate originated as a collaborative project among researchers and industry partners to address distributed energy resources integration. It evolved into a platform with modular components, configurable workflows, and a focus on transparency in optimization decisions.

Applications: used by utilities, campuses, manufacturing facilities, and data centers, Energiate supports islanding, grid services, and load shaping. Critics note deployment complexity, data security concerns, and the need for local expertise.
