Grid-aware orchestration for energy communities at distribution grid level
EnFera operationalises distributed energy resources at community scale under grid and market constraints, combining AI-based forecasting with constraint-aware optimisation to generate day ahead community schedules.
Built for energy suppliers, DSOs, and energy community operators
Explore capabilitiesEnergy communities scale faster than the system's ability to coordinate them.
Without grid-aware orchestration, distributed assets create unpredictable loads, congestion risks, and stranded flexibility.
Energy Community Operators
Community scheduling
Higher self-consumption and lower energy costs for members
Grid operators
Transformer-level constraint compliance
Peak mitigation and congestion prevention by design
Energy suppliers
Portfolio-grade local flexibility
Improved schedules, reduced balancing costs
Capabilities
The building blocks of grid-aware community orchestration
From asset integration to constraint-aware optimisation — EnFera provides the core capabilities required to operate energy communities at distribution grid level.
Local autonomy & HEMS integration
Integrate with existing Home Energy Management Systems. We coordinate, we don't replace local optimisation or override comfort settings.
Multi-energy asset integration
Connect heat pumps, batteries, EVs, PV systems, and flexible loads. Unified orchestration across electricity and heat.
Continuous, rolling optimisation
24-hour rolling forecasts with 15-minute resolution. Schedules adapt continuously to new data, constraints, and market signals.
Community-level scheduling & value allocation
Generate optimised 15-minute schedules for the entire energy community behind the distribution transformer. Our signature capability, with fair value (or benefit) allocation.
Grid-aware constraint handling
Integrate DSO constraints, transformer limits, and grid signals directly into optimisation. Congestion prevention by design.
Supplier scheduling & portfolio integration
Generate supplier-ready community schedules for forecasting and balancing-group management.
How It Works
How EnFera coordinates energy communities under grid- and market constraints
A continuous orchestration loop connecting local assets, real-time data, distribution-grid constraints and balancing-group requirements.
Physical Layer
Connect & observe local assets
EnFera connects to existing HEMS, EMS and metering infrastructure to observe consumption, generation and flexibility across the energy community.
- HEMS & EMS integration
- Smart meter connectivity
- Real-time telemetry
Local Optimisation
Preserve local optimisation
Existing household and site-level optimisation remains in place, ensuring comfort, autonomy and self-consumption goals are respected at all times.
- Comfort settings preserved
- Self-consumption priority
- Local autonomy maintained
Community Scheduling
Generate constraint-aware schedules
EnFera aggregates local flexibility and combines it with grid and market constraints to generate 15-minute community schedules behind the distribution transformer.
- 15-minute resolution
- Grid constraint compliance
- Transformer-level coordination
Market Integration
Unlock market-ready flexibility
Through coordinated scheduling, community flexibility becomes predictable, allocable and technically ready for integration into energy and flexibility markets.
- Predictable flexibility
- Fair value allocation
- Market-ready output
The Result
Predictable operation for grid operators and energy suppliers — and tangible benefits for community members.
Who Benefits
Clear value for every energy-system stakeholder
EnFera aligns individual objectives with system-level requirements — creating value across the local energy ecosystem.
Prosumers & Energy Communities
Higher self-consumption, lower costs
Operators optimize their energy communities through coordinated scheduling. Fair, transparent participation in flexibility services without complexity.
- Increased self-consumption rates
- Lower energy costs for members
- Local autonomy & data transparency
- Fair value distribution
Grid Operators (DSOs)
Predictable loads & congestion prevention
Gain visibility and predictability at transformer level. Constraint-aware scheduling prevents congestion before it occurs — by design, not by curtailment.
- Transformer-level visibility
- Congestion prevention by design
- Predictable community profiles
- Reduced operational uncertainty
Energy Suppliers & Aggregators
Portfolio-grade flexibility & better forecasts
Access aggregated, predictable flexibility from energy communities. Improved forecast quality through behind-the-meter coordination reduces balancing costs.
- Allocable community flexibility
- Improved load forecasts
- Reduced balancing costs
- New market role enablement
