Energy Efficiency
Diffused Energy is an Energy-as-a-Service solution designed to maximise the energy efficiency of any renewable energy installation. The implementation of our EaaS solution will return the following core outcomes for Your business:
- Low energy price;
- Green Energy Certificate;
- Sustainability driven Net Zero roadmap;
The solution is based on energy storage units installed at the source of energy generation and/or consumption with the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. Each SCADA-integrated energy installation is synchronised with the VPP (Virtual Power Plant) platform, which allows for dynamic balancing of energy supply and demand and aggregation of data from many sources within the Diffused Energy clusters. The micro-services running on VPP platform continuously analyse data from integrated power plants and storage facilities, creating predictions for energy generation, energy consumption profile and predictions of the state of charge of the energy storage facility.

The VPP algorithms in the continuous machine learning process strive to minimise the amount of energy needed to be purchased from outside the cluster (from the market exchange).
Diffused Energy provides data analytics tools and apps that generate AI-powered recommendations on the optimised configurations of power plants and energy storage facilities based on the ML-trained consumption profiles of system users.
Virtual Power Plant - data aggregation vertical
The use of CUDA-accelerated industrial edge computers (installed in the electrical switchboard cabinet) allows for the transfer of computing power directly to the data source, which not only leads to the optimization of ICT infrastructure maintenance costs, but also enables the launch of a localized autonomous service for correcting the prediction of energy production, consumption and storage.
A precise, corrected in the "last minute" prediction of the amount of energy stored, aggregated and available for a given hour on the power capacity market allows us to reduce the risk associated with energy trading on the Power Exchange Markets.
The technical outcome of the Diffused Energy solution includes:
- Operator deals with one balanced distributed power plant, instead of hundreds-thousands of small installations;
- Dynamic Grid Fees to reward local flexibility and effectively manage grid congestion;
- Demand Side Response;
- Peak Shaving;
- Best energy price for users with VPP Power Purchase Agreements (VPP PPA system buys a minimal required energy from the market ahead of time at lowest price);
- Lower risk related to trading on energy market exchange by autonomous predictive management of aggregated energy storage capacity;
The core function of the VPP platform is real-time energy balancing of multi-user energy clusters and energy trading between the clusters and the energy market exchange while assuring cyber-secure IoT-Edge-Fog-Cloud continuum for critical energy data.
The system is dedicated to all energy market participants, including:
- Independent Power Producers, Consumers and Prosumers
- Distribution Network Operators
- Aggregators (e.g. EV charge network)
- Operating & Maintenance firms
- Banks, Insurers, Crypto-Fiat Exchange
- Energy Storage Systems operators
- Energy infrastructure equipment manufacturers
ESG Reporting CSRD Data Management
VPP platform enables sustainability professionals to streamline the Environmental, Social and Governance reporting process. The aggregation and ML technologies automate the collection and monitoring of large amounts of data from multiple sources, improve analytics and verification processes, and allow for interactive reporting with access to real-time data.
