Problem
Industrial battery storage projects often face lengthy design cycles, suboptimal operation, and missed revenue opportunities because existing tools rely on static rule‑based control and manual sizing, leaving much of the storage capacity unused.
Solution
Furo offers an end‑to‑end, hardware‑agnostic software platform that automates the entire lifecycle of industrial battery storage. Users upload load profiles and site data, and the platform instantly calculates the optimal battery size, economic viability, and a tailored operating strategy. A forecast‑driven optimization engine continuously anticipates load peaks, electricity prices, and consumption patterns to maximize self‑consumption, peak shaving, and flexibility revenue. The “virtual battery” feature simulates performance before commissioning, while real‑time control executes the optimal strategy during operation. Unused capacity is automatically identified and marketed on energy markets, generating additional income without manual intervention.
Target Audience
Primary customers are battery manufacturers, project developers/installers, utilities or municipal energy providers, and industrial/commercial energy users seeking to plan, operate, and monetize large‑scale storage assets.
Features
- Automated sizing and economic analysis completed in minutes, producing ready‑to‑use project documentation
- Forecast‑based optimization that replaces static EMS rules, delivering real‑time control for self‑consumption, peak shaving, and market participation
- Virtual battery simulation to evaluate expected returns prior to hardware installation
- Automatic detection and market‑level trading of residual storage capacity, even for assets under 1 MW
- Hardware‑agnostic integration supporting any industrial battery system
- Multi‑role support (manufacturers, developers, utilities, industrial end‑users) with white‑label and partnership models
- Collaborative, cross‑company workspace for joint project development and management
