Electrification Solution FRAMEWORK by Pratexo
Intelligent Power Management
Electrification ecosystems are rapidly transforming from monolithic, one-way generation and distribution systems, to become highly integrated, multi-source operations. These intelligent grids broker power from distributed sources and will be able to utilize dynamic, market-based pricing. The technology and solutions to enable such an ecosystem now exist in the form of the Pratexo Edge-to-Cloud Platform as a Service, hosting its highly-customizable Intelligent Power Management Solution.
Some examples of Intelligent Power Management include a set of reference architectures that share a common core:
- Demand/Response Solution: Interfacing with TSO services to balance the supply and demand by enabling consumers to reduce consumption when demand spikes. This benefits the TSO by allowing power delivery to satisfy all consumers, while benefiting consumers by compensating them for reduction in consumption during peak loads. Our Demand/Response solution supports automated grid balancing within the constraints of time windows of approximately 5 minutes response times.
- Fast Frequency Response Solution: Our Fast Frequency Response solution supports automated grid balancing in real time using our patented “Smart FFR Sensor.”
- Virtual Power Plant Solution: The grid is increasingly complex, including multiple power sources. The decision to balance the load between the different power sources needs a smart decision engine that can drive optimal performance so that the grid can be viewed as a Virtual Power Plant.
