The Operational Challenge

Legacy Inefficiencies in Solar

Solar plants continue generating into negative wholesale pricing hours due to manual curtailment lags, incurring steep grid penalty charges.

Without autonomous software intelligence, organizations face exponential operational labor drag, transcription error rates exceeding 8%, and compounding response delays that jeopardize enterprise SLAs.

Solution Architecture

How Fortiv Solves This Problem

ISO Pricing & Generation Telemetry Ingest

Streams 5-minute real-time and day-ahead Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) feeds and site power output.

Co-Optimization Dispatch Solver

Solves dynamic dispatch equations balancing solar inverter curtailment, battery charging limits, and degradation costs.

Automated Inverter Inset Controller

Dispatches curtailment and power-factor setpoints directly to plant controller (PPC) and battery management systems.

Commercial Trading Workbench

Provides asset managers with real-time revenue capture visualizations and merchant basis risk metrics.

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Zero-Hardware, SOC 2 Type II Encrypted Deployment

All data processing executes in isolated single-tenant environments. Proprietary company records, documents, and client communications are strictly encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) with zero model retention and no external training on customer data.

Deployment Sprint

4-Week Production Implementation Roadmap

1

Week 1: Connect ISO market pricing APIs, Power Plant Controller (PPC), and BESS battery management systems.

2

Week 2: Configure battery degradation cost curves, interconnect capacity limits, and merchant bidding rules.

3

Week 3: Pilot automated negative-price curtailment triggers with commercial trading desks.

4

Week 4: Fleet-wide rollout across all merchant solar and hybrid BESS assets.
