Acelerex’s REX™ empowers residential customers with advanced Grid Automation capabilities, offering optimal energy management, seamless remote operations, and full integration with site-level and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) frameworks. This cutting-edge solution combines innovative technology with robust features to enhance energy savings, increase reliability, and contribute to a sustainable energy grid.

Key Features

1. Remote Monitoring & Control:

  • Track and control home energy systems, including battery storage, solar generation, and EV chargers, via the REX™ Cloud HMI or onsite REX Appliance.
  • Enable observability of critical system metrics like breaker status, EMS modes, and site-specific statuses.

2. Execution of Grid Analytics Plans:

  • Turn insights from grid analytics into actionable energy-saving and cost-optimization strategies.
  • Leverage user-defined policies for data management, such as sampling rate, aging, and down-sampling.

3. Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Integration:

  • Seamlessly aggregate residential energy assets for participation in demand response programs and grid services.
  • Ensure adherence to state-of-charge (SoC) requirements for effective aggregation.

Grid Services (BESS)

  • LMP Following: Optimize battery storage by charging when prices are low and discharging during high-price periods.
  • Emissions Optimization (WattTime/SGIP): Charge during low-emission periods and discharge during high-emission periods to minimize carbon footprint.
  • Grid Demand Peak Shaving: Discharge during peak demand and recharge during solar hours to stabilize grid conditions.
  • Distribution Hosting Capacity: Mitigate back-feed risks by managing charging schedules during solar generation.
  • Demand Response Program Integration: Support grid reliability through demand response participation.
  • Baseload Power Support: Maintain consistent energy supply by balancing solar production with battery dispatch.
