Applications running on the edge

Aggregate

Collect and preprocess data on the edge to reduce latency, limit bandwidth usage and comply with privacy constraints.

Controlling

Issue instructions to DERs. Charge batteries. Prioritize charging stations.

EMS

Run a complete EMS on the edge. Benefit from the quickest response times. Ensure robustness to network outages.

Filter

Filter data directly on the gridBox to reduce loads on the server side.

Load balancing

Run dynamic load management locally.

Monitoring

Collect data from DERs locally. Up to every 200ms. Process the data directly on the edge or send it to the cloud.
