Patented, machine-learning platform taking energy management and digitization to a new level
Introducing Apparent
Reengineering the way the world manages and uses energy.
GAME-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY
NEW MARKET CREATION
Energy transactions across peers and with established markets are possible for the first time
UNDENIABLE ECONOMICS
More output from the same DER capacity combine with new revenue streams to vastly increase customer returns
COVETED VISIBILITY & CONTROL
Knowing energy demand and supply behind-the-meter while increasing grid resiliency and stability
GREEN GRID ACCELERATOR
Real-time dispatch and control of customer-demanded renewables offsets the need for flexible thermal generation
TRIPLE WIN
Customers, energy markets and the environment all benefit from deployment
Intelligent behind-the-meter energy management through the digitization of energy
APPARENT UNLEASHED
At the heart of Apparent’s suite of energy technologies is its intelligent grid operating system (igOS™), a cloud-based, machine-learning application which manages distribution level energy assets in parallel with the grid. Hosted on three platforms – an electrical panel, a solar micro-inverter, and a battery power control system – energy systems can operate independently or in concert at customer-designated levels of services, opening doors to new energy and new data markets, including both peer-to-peer and wholesale.
igOS™ is bi-directional in its communication and control, with data relating to energy production and use both sensed and reported in milliseconds to allow real-time management of energy production on the distribution grid through optimal re-dispatch. Each action taken by igOS™ becomes a data packet that can be aggregated for distributed energy resource (DER) management and communicated to grid managers – in real-time.
Our technology means a smarter, more resilient grid and a big win for the triple bottom line (people, planet and profit)
TECHNOLOGY INGENUITY
GRID EDGE INTELLIGENCE
Autonomous, dynamic balancing of behind-the-meter generation and load in real-time
REAL-TIME SENSING
Millisecond sensing and dispatch through bi-directional communications and control
DIGITIZATION
Millisecond sensing converts to data packets made available to parties supporting grid resiliency and visibility, such as grid operators and smart, connected energy systems
FLEXIBLE & SCALABLE
Plug-and-play capabilities enable the addition of new resources and loads
The user chooses whether to optimize at the site-level, with their peers, and through wholesale markets
INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICES
Apparent offers services that optimize the value of energy use and unlock new streams of revenue through aggregated wholesale market participation. Utilizing Apparent’s proprietary machine-learning technology, users can now participate in markets that previously excluded consumers and prosumers.
