Tuned in real time, not set and forget

Most batteries and inverters are configured once at commissioning and left alone. Prices, tariffs, load and weather keep moving, so a fixed configuration slowly stops matching the site it was set up for. Luna keeps re-tuning it.

Set and forget
  • Fixed charge and discharge windows
  • Set once, based on assumptions at the time
  • Blind to wholesale prices and price spikes
  • Peaks and demand charges caught by chance
  • No check that savings match the bill
With Luna
  • Parameters re-tuned continuously
  • Driven by live prices and fresh forecasts
  • Responds to wholesale price movements
  • Demand peaks planned for and shaved
  • Reconciled against your actual billing data

What Luna optimises against

Six inputs feed every decision. Together they let your existing equipment respond to the market and your site, not just a clock.

Wholesale prices

Live and forecast NEM spot prices, so assets charge, discharge, export or hold based on where the market is heading.

Network tariffs

Time-of-use network charges for the site's actual tariff, so energy is used and stored when the network charges least.

Demand charges

The site's monthly peak and the cost attached to it, so batteries and flexible load are held back to shave the peaks that set the bill.

Load forecasts

A forecast of how the site will use energy over the coming hours and days, built from its own interval data.

Weather data

Weather forecasts that shape expected solar generation and site load, so the plan adjusts before conditions change.

Billing data

The site's real energy bills, used to check that the tariffs, charges and assumptions inside the optimiser match what the site is actually charged.

How it works

01 / CONNECT

Connect to the equipment you already have

Luna links to your batteries, inverters, EV chargers and meters through their existing OEM software, with integrations across most major BESS, solar and EV charging brands. Nothing needs to be replaced or re-platformed.

02 / CALIBRATE

Ground the model in your real bills

We take in the site's interval data, tariff and billing data, and check the optimiser's assumptions against what the site is actually charged, including network tariffs and demand charges.

03 / TUNE

Re-tune parameters in real time

Using live and forecast NEM prices, load forecasts and weather data, Luna works out the best plan for every asset and updates the operating parameters in your equipment as conditions change: when to charge, discharge, export, hold or shift load.

04 / VERIFY

See what happened, and check it against the bill

Every decision is logged against the prices, forecasts and constraints that produced it, and results are reconciled against billing data, so you can see the savings are real.

Deterministic, not a black box

Luna's decisions come from a physics-based optimisation model built on the real constraints of your assets and site. Every decision traces back to a price, a tariff, a forecast or a constraint, so it can be explained after the fact.

  • Battery state of charge
  • Inverter limits
  • EV charger set points
  • Network constraints
  • Tariff structure

Feasibility modelling, before you commit capital

For installers, developers and asset owners still deciding whether a battery, solar or EV charging investment makes sense, Luna runs the same optimisation against a site's historical interval data and bills, so the business case reflects that site rather than an industry average.

Feasibility modelling

Send us (or connect) a site's interval data and bills, and we'll model expected returns from a battery, solar or EV charging asset under Luna's optimisation, retail-paired or wholesale-paired.

Live optimisation

Once a system is installed, Luna takes over day-to-day optimisation and reports performance against the original feasibility case.

Common questions

What is Luna?

Luna by Gridsoft is a behind-the-meter (BTM) energy optimisation platform for commercial and industrial sites in Australia. It makes the batteries, solar, EV chargers and OEM control software a site already has market-aware, tuning their operating parameters in real time against wholesale electricity prices, network tariffs, demand charges, load forecasts and weather forecasts, rather than leaving them on a set-and-forget configuration. Luna also ingests the site's billing data, so the optimiser's settings stay in line with what the site actually pays.

What does behind-the-meter optimisation mean?

Behind-the-meter (BTM) assets sit on the customer's side of the electricity meter: on-site batteries, solar, EV chargers and flexible load. BTM optimisation decides how and when those assets run so the site pays less for energy and earns more from the market, while staying within the equipment's limits.

Do I need to replace my existing hardware or OEM software?

No. Luna works with the batteries, inverters, EV chargers and manufacturer (OEM) control software already installed. It adjusts their operating parameters rather than replacing them, and integrates with most major BESS, solar and EV charging brands.

How is Luna different from the built-in modes in my battery or inverter?

Built-in modes are usually configured once at commissioning, with fixed charge and discharge windows that do not respond to the market. Luna re-tunes those parameters in real time as wholesale prices, demand, load and weather change, so the equipment keeps working towards the best result instead of drifting away from it.

What data does Luna use?

Live and forecast wholesale prices from the National Electricity Market (NEM), the site's network tariff and demand charges, interval meter data, load forecasts, weather forecasts, asset telemetry, and the site's billing data.

Why does Luna use billing data?

Tariffs, charges and site behaviour change over time, and an optimiser is only as good as the assumptions inside it. Luna reconciles its parameters against the site's real bills, so its decisions are based on what the site actually pays rather than on an assumed tariff.

Is Luna an AI black box?

No. Luna's decisions come from a deterministic, physics-based optimisation model built on the real constraints of each asset and site. Every decision can be traced back to a price, a tariff, a forecast or a constraint.

Who is Luna for, and where does it operate?

Commercial and industrial energy users and asset owners, and the installers and developers who build their systems. Luna runs on sites across Australia's National Electricity Market and also models battery and solar projects on a site's real data before installation.
