The battery stores energy. The Node measures the site and controls the equipment. The Equaliser software uses prices, tariffs and expected load to calculate the plan. spotEQ supplies and commissions the complete system.
The battery, Node and Equaliser are configured and delivered as one system.
The battery stores energy and supplies it back to the site when the plan calls for it. Power and capacity are sized separately from the site's meter data, with expansion options confirmed for the selected configuration.
The Node is installed on site. It reads the meter, follows the current plan and adjusts the connected equipment against the measured site load.
The Equaliser combines the site's tariff, day-ahead prices, expected load and equipment limits. It calculates a 48-hour plan and shows the result.
The Equaliser calculates the plan. The Node carries it out on site and reports the measured result.
The Node reads site consumption, battery charge and the status of connected equipment.
The Equaliser combines tomorrow's prices with the site's tariff and expected load.
A 48-hour plan is created and checked against the limits for the site and each asset.
The Node carries out the plan. Measured values are compared with the plan and deviations are reported.
The site overview shows the current condition, the latest plan, projected savings and active alarms.
The Node runs the plan locally and applies the configured operating limits before values are sent to the equipment.
The Equaliser creates and displays plans without sending them to the equipment. Automatic operation starts after the test period has been reviewed and approved.
The Node continues with the valid stored plan. When that expires, it uses the fallback agreed during setup. Operating limits remain active and stored measurements are transferred when the connection returns.
Changes are recorded with the time and user. Alarms and schedule status are recorded as events. High-severity alarms are also sent by email.
The system controls energy use. It does not replace the building's fuses, circuit breakers or other electrical protection.
The system can include a new battery or compatible battery equipment already on site. EV charging control is in development. Other controllable equipment is assessed separately before it is included in a proposal.
Where a model is not yet supported, we assess the work required and make that visible in the proposal rather than discovering it during installation.
The scope, equipment and expected result are agreed before installation starts.
The equipment, site limits, installation work and operating assumptions are confirmed.
Before the orderThe equipment and Node are installed. Meter readings and connected assets are checked on site.
Planned with the siteThe Equaliser calculates plans and records the expected result without controlling the equipment.
Reviewed before activationAutomatic control is enabled after approval. Measured operation, estimated savings and alarms are then followed in Equaliser.
Handover and monitoringAgree site access, any interruption to supply, the people responsible for alarms, software charges and the support scope. Pilot terms are agreed individually.
We calculate what the system would have saved before making a proposal.
