How It Works

From home batteryto grid asset.

Intellivolt turns thousands of domestic LiFePO4 batteries into a single, intelligent Virtual Power Plant — dispatching clean energy to the grid on demand.

Three layers. One platform.

The Intellivolt platform operates across three interconnected layers: hardware at the home, intelligence in the cloud, and dispatch to the grid. Each layer is purpose-built for reliability, speed, and scale.

Hardware Layer

Install a certified LiFePO4 battery

Homeowners install a certified Lithium-Iron Phosphate battery system — the safest, longest-lasting chemistry available. Our hardware gateway connects the battery to the Intellivolt cloud platform over a secure, encrypted link.

LiFePO4 cells deliver 6,000+ charge cycles, zero thermal runaway risk, and a 15-year operational lifespan. Unlike lithium-ion, they remain stable at high temperatures and don't degrade rapidly with deep cycling.

AI optimises every battery, every second

Intellivolt's AI engine continuously monitors grid frequency, energy prices, and each battery's state of charge. It calculates the optimal charge and discharge schedule for every unit in the network — maximising grid value and homeowner earnings simultaneously.

The optimisation engine processes over 2 million data points per second across the fleet. It accounts for weather forecasts, day-ahead energy prices, grid balancing signals, and individual battery health to make real-time dispatch decisions.

Grid Layer

Clean power dispatched in under 200ms

When the grid needs power — during a frequency event, a demand spike, or a renewable shortfall — Intellivolt dispatches aggregated capacity from the fleet in under 200 milliseconds. Faster than any gas peaker plant. Zero emissions.

Grid dispatch is fully automated and compliant with National Grid ESO balancing mechanism requirements. Intellivolt holds a Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) licence and participates in the Dynamic Containment, Dynamic Moderation, and Dynamic Regulation markets.

The technology behind the platform

LiFePO4 Chemistry

Lithium-Iron Phosphate is the only battery chemistry rated for grid-grade cycling. Stable, safe, and built to last 15+ years in daily dispatch service.

Real-time AI Dispatch

Our dispatch engine runs on dedicated edge infrastructure with sub-10ms internal latency. Grid signals are received, processed, and actioned before a human could blink.

Encrypted Fleet Control

Every battery communicates over a TLS 1.3 encrypted channel. Fleet commands are signed and verified. No single point of failure — the network is resilient by design.

Dynamic Revenue Stacking

Intellivolt participates in multiple grid markets simultaneously — frequency response, capacity, and energy arbitrage — stacking revenue streams to maximise homeowner returns.
