    • Rise of Distributed Generation & Storage

      Creating Grid Complexity and Forcing Distribution Deregulation

      Solar + Storage

      Economics creating parity

      PV solar costs are down 68% and Li-Ion Battery costs are down 88% since 2010.

      TSLA below $0.10W/h in intermediate term

      Creates Grid Complexity

      Growth of small scale generators and aggregated resources

      These new decentralized participants, bidding into the wholesale markets are necessarily being constrained by distribution grid planning requirements.

      Forcing Distribution Deregulation

      Considered inevitable

      Aggregated demand resources, smart buildings, microgrids, and EV fleets could serve local demand with fewer constraints on a new distribution market.

      Grid Management

      Tools

      Demand Response

      Paying customers to use less energy

      During high demand, grid operators will call on large customers to reduce their loads.

      How the virtual power plant works

      Aggregation

      Asking lots of small generators to act in concert

      Using direct control (via the internet) of thermostats, water heaters, and other devices to create Virtual Power Plants.

      Special Tariffs

      Trying to fix a price on a moving target

      Load and generation profiles change based on new resources and grid configurations. How can rate design accommodate all the new flexibility?

    • What if customer owned generation...

      Was a revenue stream for your utility?

      (instead of a liability to be managed)

      Had no financial risk?

      Was sited and balanced without intervention?

    • How would this change the way you manage the grid and interact with your customers?

    • Utilities Can Establish a New Market Platform

      Unlock Distributed Generation, Storage Flexibility, and Enable New Revenue Streams

       

      Combine Grid Balancing and Settlement

      Balance load with generating units and confirm transactions.

      Private blockchain ledger records communication, confirms power delivery, enforces dynamic grid constraints, and settles transactions.

      Decentralized and Distributed

      Just like your grid

      With no single point of failure, our system enables smart islanding, operation without centralized communication, and secure control room overrides.

      Private Mesh

      Utility owned infrastructure

      Communication is conducted over a private mesh network, if the internet or phone lines go down, Omega Grid continues to operate. Asset owners participate based on their availability and can be deactivated if not responding to orders.

    • Market Benefits

      Local Utility

      Dynamic market with overrides

      • Transaction fees from platform market participants
      • More resilient and reliable grid metrics
      • Enabling new value streams for your customers

      Local Generator

      New local buyers with fewer constraints

      • Fees for excess generation sold on the grid
      • Ability to secure less constrained revenue for generation and storage assets

      Energy User

      New local generation sources

      • Access to local electricity below wholesale pricing and without transmission charges
      • Option to participate in local load reduction programs
      • Option to secure electricity from local generators during outages
