Technology
Customer will install proprietary technology, kWatch® Intelligent Controller, to facilitate ten-minute
response to AEMO market signals.
Purpose built for allowing customers to respond to signals, the Controller gives customers:
- Live data feed
- Alerts
- Automation
If AEMO call an event, we will send alerts to customers. At which point they need to accept the activation. The Controller will then reduce their load.
Model
Customers will receive two payments:
- Availability
Based on the volume of capacity provided during tests or activations
- Activation
Based on the volume of load shed during events
Customers will need to pay for the installation of the Controller.
