kuafu
Platform

One platform between
buildings and the grid.

kuafu is an AI-powered grid-edge orchestration platform, offered as a service. It has two areas: energy management for the sites, and grid operation for the grid.

How it works

From single devices to a coordinated portfolio.

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.

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.

In pictures

How kuafu works, step by step.

Two illustrations of the platform. They show the idea, not measured data. For measured results from two 2025 pilots, read our article in VSE PerspectivE (in German).

Diagram: buildings with solar panels, a heat pump, a battery and an EV charger send real-time data to kuafu and receive smart control; kuafu offers grid services to the grid operator and receives grid requests; an underground cable links the buildings to a transformer station whose load stays below its power limit
Illustrative chart of one day on a local grid: without kuafu the evening peak goes over the grid limit; with kuafu more energy is used at midday, when solar supply is high, and at night, when dynamic tariffs are low, so the evening peak stays under the limit
Two areas

Energy management and grid operation.

Energy management

For EMS providers

Predictive energy management for your customers' sites, and access to revenue from grid services.

Grid operation

For grid operators

Visibility of local resources, flexibility forecasts and real-time grid services for congestion management and balancing.
