The dcbel Home Energy Station and Chorus IoT platform ensures a secure and scalable approach to grid integration that allows for multi-stakeholder engagement and the ability to adhere to new grid compliance requirements as the market evolves.
dcbel is trusted by leading energy providers worldwide.
EDF UK leveraged Chorus real-time flexibility transactions to prove that residential V2X can be profitable while saving consumers between £1,500 and £2,500 per year on their energy bills.
Europe’s leading independent aggregator evolved its demand-side response platform by using the interoperable Chorus IoT system to tap into the power of EV chargers and batteries.
dcbel Ara, our flagship Home Energy Station, safely manages 32 kW of flexibility between the home and the grid.
All-in-one functionality includes:
- Smart charging for two EVs (Pure DC and Level 2 AC)
- Rooftop solar inverter
- Home battery inverter
- Vehicle-to-home (V2H) power flow for backup power or rate arbitrage
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power flow for peak capacity reduction and balancing reserve
- Smart home energy management
Frequently asked questions
How will different homes adopt our energy program?
Understand the prosumer potential of your unique territory. Discover how many homes are likely to participate in your energy program based on their demographic profiles.
How will our feeders and substations be affected?
Use simulated net load data to anticipate where grid reinforcement may be necessary.
How will PV, home load and EV usage affect net load elasticity?
Simulate specific net load scenarios based on proprietary PV, home load and EV usage forecasts, and enjoy the ability to define your own behavior constraints for DC storage assets like bidirectional EVs and home batteries to fully appreciate their impact on the grid.
What is the best dynamic rate strategy?
Whether you're looking to optimize existing rates or model a new flexibility program, put your pricing hypotheses to the test by fine-tuning your incentives and simulating take-up in your territory.
How many digital twins can be created?
dcbel Home Energy Digital Twins can be deployed to an unlimited scale, whether you need dozens to model grid development in a new neighborhood or hundreds to dive into your existing service territory.
How can cybersecurity be ensured in grid-edge computing?
dcbel has built-in end-to-end security measures, combining root utility certificates with edge encryption integrating TLS. All communication is managed through Chorus, which oversees data encryption and exchange from the connected DERs.
