Distributed energy orchestrationPowered by Smart² Technology

Atmosphere Energy OS

The operating system for intelligent, flexible grids.

Atmosphere connects solar, storage, EV charging and flexible demand from the edge to VPPs and energy markets so sites, portfolios and power systems can operate as one.

The challenge

The grid was built for one-way power. Energy is no longer one-way.

Solar, storage, EV charging and flexible demand are growing across the grid, but the systems connecting them remain fragmented. Sites, portfolios, utilities and markets often operate through separate controllers, data models and manual processes. Atmosphere brings those layers together so distributed assets can become visible, coordinated and available to the wider energy system.

    Normalise operational telemetry and make site, tariff and device data available to approved workflows.

  3. 03

    Predict

    Forecast demand, solar generation and available portfolio flexibility.

  4. 04

    Decide

    Balance tariffs, asset limits, customer priorities and grid-service requirements.

  5. 05
