Core ESX Capabilities

Real-Time Demand Aggregation

Continuously monitors and combines demand patterns across all behind-the-meter resources, providing grid operators with a clear picture of total energy needs and availability.

Dynamic Resource Status

Maintains up-to-the-minute information about each resource's operational status, capacity, and availability, enabling optimal dispatch decisions.

Predictive Analytics

Delivers both day-ahead forecasting and real-time predictive insights, allowing better resource planning and proactive grid management.

Market-Based Coordination

Through standardized pricing mechanisms, enables energy service requests and responses that align economic incentives with grid needs.

Performance Verification

Built-in measurement and validation capabilities ensure accurate performance tracking and facilitate proper financial settlement between parties.

Seamless Integration

Integrates all OCPP compliant EV chargers and DER resources, matching resources to the local grid with granular visibility at all levels.

Benefits for Utilities

Enhanced Grid Flexibility

Real-time resource flexibility that dramatically improves peak load management capabilities and reduces strain on distribution infrastructure.

Improved System Reliability

Standardized communication protocols and robust coordination capabilities enhance grid resilience and system stability.

Economic Optimization

Sophisticated transactive energy interactions create economic incentives for optimal resource utilization and new revenue opportunities.

Reduced Integration Complexity

zAbstracts away device-specific complexities, significantly reducing technical barriers and accelerating deployment timelines.

Advanced Forecasting

Real-time forecasts and historical load profiles enable effective congestion management and flexible resource dispatch.

Enhanced Security

Cybersecurity measures developed in collaboration with experts at ANL & PNNL, with reduced device exposure risks.

Three-Tier Coordination Architecture

Tier 1: Behind-the-Meter Resources

Individual DER assets (solar, storage, EVs, generators, smart loads) managed by Energy Management Systems with integrated Charging Station Management Systems. Resources communicate using native protocols (OCPP/OCPI, IEEE 2030.5, SunSpec Modbus, DNP3) with VirGEN implementations using ESX interface based on OpenADR 3.

Tier 2: Point of Common Coupling

ESX interfaces at the connection point between customer premises and the distribution grid, aggregating and coordinating all behind-the-meter resources through standardized communication protocols.

Tier 3: Distribution System

FAST-DERMS Flexible Resource Schedulers coordinate multiple ESX interfaces across the distribution network to optimize overall grid performance and ensure system-wide coordination.
