Adaptive Carbon-Aware Control for Intelligent Electrification
eForecast develops software systems that enable electrical loads to intelligently optimise their power consumption based on electricity system carbon intensity and renewable availability. Our technology supports the transition to a low-carbon energy system by enabling smarter, automated alignment between electricity demand and clean energy generation.
What is Carbon Intensity?
Carbon intensity measures the amount of carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) emissions produced per unit of electricity consumed, typically expressed in grams of COâ‚‚ per kilowatt-hour (gCOâ‚‚/kWh).
Electricity carbon intensity varies throughout the day depending on the generation mix supplying the grid. When renewable generation such as wind or solar is abundant, carbon intensity is lower. When fossil fuel generation is required to meet demand, carbon intensity increases.
Understanding and responding to carbon intensity is increasingly important as electricity systems transition toward higher levels of renewable energy and electrification.
Why Carbon-Aware Optimisation Matters
As electrification expands across transport, heating, and industry, intelligently optimising when and how electricity is consumed becomes essential to reducing emissions and improving grid efficiency.
ElectricForecast develops patent-pending software systems that enable electrical loads to automatically adapt their operation in response to electricity system carbon intensity and renewable availability.
This enables:
• Reduced carbon emissions from electrical load operation
• Improved alignment between electricity demand and renewable generation
• More efficient utilisation of clean energy resources
• Scalable optimisation across electric vehicle charging, energy management systems, and distributed energy resources
Our technology enables intelligent, automated optimisation of electricity consumption in support of a low-carbon energy system.
