Platform

One platform between
buildings and the grid.

kuafu is an AI-powered grid-edge orchestration platform, offered as a service. It turns buildings into reliable flexibility for the grid.

How it works

From single devices to a coordinated portfolio.

kuafu coordinates solar panels, batteries, EV chargers and heat pumps across many sites. It shifts their consumption and production when the grid needs it, and it keeps comfort and operation intact on site. Grid operators get flexibility they can plan and call on. Property owners lower their energy costs and earn revenue from grid services.

Connect

Connect to the energy management systems that run heat pumps, batteries and EV chargers in buildings.

Learn

Learn from real-time data how each site uses energy and how much flexibility it has.

Forecast

Forecast local energy use and the availability of grid services.

Orchestrate

Control devices so they adapt to renewable generation, electricity prices and grid needs.

Capabilities

What the platform does.

Predictive control

Data-driven optimisation of local energy resources. The control learns from real-time data and adapts to renewable generation, electricity prices and system needs.

Real-time monitoring

Live dashboards, anomaly detection and service activation across all connected sites.

Flexibility forecasts

Forecasts of local energy and service availability, so grid operators know what flexibility they can count on.

Congestion management

Shift or reduce load in a grid area when lines or transformers come close to their limits.

Energy balancing

Help balance energy portfolios and reduce imbalances between forecast and actual consumption.

Lower emissions

Shift energy use toward periods of high renewable supply.

Devices

Built for the devices that electrify buildings.

kuafu monitors and controls local energy resources for heating, cooling and mobility.

Solar panels (PV)

Solar power used on site first, with batteries, heat pumps and charging timed to the sun.

Heat pumps

Data-driven control of heating and cooling.

Batteries

Storage in buildings that can charge and discharge when it helps most.

Electric vehicles

Charging that can provide grid services.

Your EMS

kuafu works with the energy management systems in place.
