EV charging stations, user-side energy storage systems, VPP operators, and energy storage operators may participate as market entities and earn revenue. Energy storage operators may represent multiple energy storage projects, including user-side and grid-side storage. Generation-side energy storage projects are currently excluded from demand response participation.

UltimateBox leverages VPP demand response technology to help governments establish provincial and city-level demand response dispatch platforms, enabling refined energy consumption management.
The UltimateBox platform integrates Protocol 1867 to provide government and power supply departments with standardized information exchange protocols for responding to national electricity demand.
By establishing the VPP Demand Response Platform, we provide technical implementation services for the top-level design of refined power dispatch. The VPP Demand Response Platform delivers value primarily through resource scheduling, big data computation, peak shaving and valley filling, and resource allocation. Through optimizing energy dispatch and resource allocation, it reduces energy waste and costs, enhances renewable energy utilization rates, and achieves intelligent management and control of energy systems.
Employ economic incentives to guide electricity users in proactively reducing peak loads and enhancing their own precision management of electricity consumption.
Seasonal and time-of-day power shortages persist, and the continuously growing electricity load is placing increasing pressure on maintaining the balance between power supply and demand.
Flexible configuration settings for multiple parameters, such as: peak shaving response alarm thresholds, successful range settings for invitation statuses, and default schemes for real-time peak shaving response events; these can be adjusted based on actual conditions without requiring code modifications or redeployment.
Perform big data analysis based on users' historical data to calculate their baseline, signal line, and potential.

We provide comprehensive system solutions for enterprises aspiring to become load aggregators. The Load Aggregator Virtual Power Plant Response System primarily builds a platform centered on user screening, KPI scoring, and compliance calculation. This enables load aggregators to participate in government response programs, secure contracts, effectively evaluate their energy-saving capabilities, and optimize their credit standing. Consequently, load suppliers gain a competitive edge in the market.
Through baseline statistics, potential forecasting, and selection of active and reserve users, precisely target users to fill response gaps by activating the minimum number of users required when response rates fall short.
Users are rated as Excellent, Good, Average, or Poor based on four metrics: peak shaving completion rate, peak shaving compliance rate, event participation activity, and valley filling response capability. This enables regulators to monitor user ratings in real time.
Compliance is categorized into three dimensions: whether the event meets standards, whether the user meets standards for this event, and whether the contract meets standards. These three dimensions examine compliance from three perspectives, meeting the needs of users, regulators, and other stakeholders.
We provide our partners who have become load integrators with component products capable of automatically adjusting the terminal power grid. This enables partners to move beyond outdated scenarios reliant on manual adjustments, allowing expertise to be replicated while making energy-saving predictions more precise. The components support rapid integration with diverse platforms and systems, enabling real-time monitoring and control of facilities, environments, and equipment to enhance energy utilization efficiency.
Through the precise control of building systems, energy efficiency, building management efficiency, and comfort levels are enhanced, while safety and sustainability are improved, meeting the requirements of sustainable development.
Through the UbOS platform, we enable real-time monitoring and control of IoT devices and facilities, delivering reliable data subscription services and broad integration capabilities for diverse IoT equipment. This empowers enterprises to improve production efficiency and economic performance while reducing management costs and operational risks.
Amid the global trend toward carbon neutrality, China has also set national-level “dual carbon” goals. The development of new power systems represents the future trajectory. Amidst evolving dynamics in power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption, the “virtual power plant” concept has emerged. Virtual power plants constitute a key direction for China's current efforts to build new power systems and achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. In recent years, the State Council, various ministries and commissions, and 30 provinces and municipalities nationwide have issued 60 policies related to virtual power plants.
As power market mechanisms gradually mature and the retail electricity market develops, retail electricity companies centered around virtual power plants will progressively participate in market-based power transactions. This will enable the integration of energy resources and market-driven operations, thereby enhancing supply efficiency and reducing energy costs.
Currently, the primary focus is on load-side adjustable resources, particularly industrial loads, commercial building air conditioning loads, and thermal storage electric heating systems, supplemented by resources such as charging stations and energy storage vehicles. Moving forward, virtual power plants will significantly advance the integration and aggregation of resources like distributed photovoltaic systems, expanding from individual points to broader coverage to participate in interactions with the main power grid.
Through VPP demand response technology, establish a scheduling platform for refined energy consumption management to achieve peak shaving and valley filling.
Promoting the adoption of IoT technology in retail stores to enable energy savings, cost reduction, and increased operational gains.
