The Challenge

Bespoke integrations don't scale.

Today's flex providers must build and maintain dozens of separate integrations across OEM device types. The result: high cost, low coverage, fragmented data, and unpredictable device performance.

Integration Sprawl

Separate integration per OEM. Every device type, protocol, and API is a new project.

Fragmented Data

Inconsistent telemetry, varied reporting formats, and no unified fleet visibility.

High Cost per OEM

Each new OEM partnership requires upfront engineering investment plus the ongoing cost of maintaining poorly documented, inconsistent point-to-point APIs.

Low Fleet Coverage

Limited device support means untapped flexibility capacity and missed revenue.

How It Works

One integration for all device categories.

WattStack Flex provides a single, standards-compliant integration layer spanning many OEM fleets — so you can focus on grid operations, not device plumbing.

1

Connect

Single standards-based integration. We support protocols like OpenADR 3.1, OCPP 1.6/2.1, and others — and are actively mapping to more. Access EV chargers, heat pumps, batteries, thermal storage, and other energy devices across all partner OEMs.

2

Control

Deterministic arbitration ensures mandatory DR events are always fulfilled. Advisory events with user override. Fleet event spreading prevents rebound peaks.

3

Monetise

Transparent 20% flex provider revenue share across both tiers. Grid services (DSR) revenue with clear settlement handling.

4

Scale

Infrastructure scales to hundreds of thousands of devices. Fault-tolerant telemetry with automatic reconnection. Multi-connectivity failover across WiFi, Ethernet, and Cellular.

Compliance & Arbitration

Built for the real world.

WattStack's arbitration engine resolves conflicts between flex instructions, OEM safety limits, and user preferences — deterministically and transparently.

Smart Arbitration

  • Mandatory DR events are always fulfilled to the extent safety permits.
  • OEM safety limits (compressor rest, temperature thresholds, min SoC) are never overridden.
  • Advisory events support user boost override per UK Smart Energy Code.
  • OEMs and users can set how aggressively flex events are applied — from prioritising grid response to preserving user comfort.

Regulatory Compliance

  • UK Smart Energy Code aligned — user boost mechanism built in.
  • Fleet event spreading (jitter) prevents rebound peaks. Shrink-only rule respects user window boundaries.
  • Settlement variability handling for both rapid and delayed settlement windows.
  • OpenADR 3.1 and OCPP 2.1 standards-based reporting.

Revenue Model

Aligned revenue sharing.

Every stakeholder earns from flexibility revenue — end users, OEMs, flex providers, and WattStack. A transparent model where incentives are aligned across the entire value chain.

End User

Largest share — the asset owner always earns the most

Flex Provider

Earn from every dispatched device in your portfolio

OEM

Recurring revenue from hardware already in the field

WattStack

Platform fee — aligned so every stakeholder benefits from growth
