FlexHome.Energy partners with utility providers to implement dynamic electricity tariffs by managing distributed battery storage systems. Their cloud solution enables real-time data monitoring, analysis, and swarm control of these assets for grid stabilization and cost optimization. This approach allows end-customers to save energy costs without sacrificing comfort while supporting the integration of renewables.

Problem
Electricity customers are exposed to dynamic tariffs that make consumption costly during peak price periods, forcing them to alter daily routines. Energy suppliers lack a scalable way to shift load to low‑price intervals while maintaining grid stability. The absence of coordinated, real‑time control of distributed battery assets limits both cost savings for end‑users and the provision of ancillary services to the grid.
Solution
FlexHome.Energy offers a cloud‑based platform that integrates intelligent residential battery units (FlexBox) with the supplier’s energy management systems. The platform monitors device status and performance in real time, applies analytics to identify optimal charge‑discharge windows, and executes control commands either for individual units or for large swarms. By charging batteries when wholesale prices are low and discharging during high‑price periods, suppliers can deliver lower tariffs to customers and provide regulated power to the grid. The solution connects to existing smart‑meter (iMSys) infrastructure and exposes a RESTful API for seamless integration into utility IT stacks. An intuitive dashboard gives operators visibility into fleet health, market‑based trading opportunities, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The hardware is designed for modular installation, long‑term reliability, and secure communication, enabling a turnkey, white‑label service for utilities.
Target Audience
The primary customers are electricity suppliers and utility companies seeking to offer dynamic pricing products and to manage distributed residential storage assets at scale. Secondary users include grid operators and energy traders that require aggregated flexibility for balancing and market participation.
