VIRTUAL
METER
TECHNOLOGY
Residential
electricity metering
made simple
any home energy product to add an accurate
measurement of the whole home's electricity
consumption through any socket or any other
connection with the home’s power network. For
reduced hardware costs, effortless installation, and
improved experience for installers and users.
Embedding the Virtual Meter instead of relying on conventional metering solutions delivers sales growth and improved margins. It enables you to offer an upgraded energy product to installers and end users while reducing complexity and costs across the value chain.
Reduced operating costs for metering through decreased support tickets and lower spend on 3rd party meter integrations
Fewer components to source and install, shorter installation time, and fewer return visits thanks to reduced risk of installation errors.
Improved product and setup experience thanks to plug-in technology, high reliability and independence from e.g. connectivity issues.
How it works
PCBA with a proprietary software stack, powered by machine learning models. It detects the full electrical load of the home through a single physical connection to the household’s electrical network. The virtual meter can be directly embedded into a residential energy product, or deployed as a standalone energy meter.
Whole home: Total net electrical load on 1– or 3–phase residential grid connections
Real time: Load data is deduced in real time (<1s)
Connected anywhere: Either a standard (earthed) wall socket or a wired connection. Only requires a physical connection to a single phase.
Use cases
without the need for additional external metering
hardware or utility meter (smart meter) integrations.
A true plug-and-play customer experience enabling all functionality
Simplified installation enabling dynamic load balancing and charge on excess solar features
Simplified installation enabling PV self-consumption, tariff optimization and VPP use cases
Simplified installation enabling dynamic load balancing and heating/cooling on excess solar features
Expanded customer functionality by enabling cooling on excess solar PV
Robust real time metering data for all HEMS operations, remove dependency on 3rd party hardware integrations or smart meter integrations
Real time consumption data for energy insights, portfolio balancing
Techology deep dive
dedicated research and development in the field of
electrical signal analysis. Its unique approach to
capturing and interpreting network behavior has
been protected through three international patents.
Together, these innovations enable precise, real-
time household power measurement through a
connection anywhere in the home’s power network,
e.g. through any standard power outlet.
