Grow IT load with generation behind the meter
Every Foundry is paired with Torus Reserve, a hybrid energy storage system that sits between generation and compute. It charges when there’s extra power and discharges when the load jumps or renewables dip, so you can add generation and IT load behind the meter.
How it works
1
Add generation behind the meter
Reserve works with any generation source and can orchestrate several at once. Each source you add increases the IT load you can install on site.
2
Reserve firms renewables
Reserve turns cheap, intermittent solar and wind into firm, reliable power. It stores energy when it’s abundant and cheap, then discharges when demand peaks or generation drops.
3
Reserve coordinates multiple sources of generation
Reserve decides which generation resource serves load at any moment, automatically. Each one is sized and used for maximum available power.
4
Additional IT load is added
On-site generation provides power for additional GPUs without added vendors or additional complexity.

Hybrid energy storage
Solar and wind output swings by the second and shifts through the day. The flywheel absorbs the fast swings and it’s mechanical, it doesn’t wear down like a chemical battery. The battery covers the longer ones. Reserve coornidates both to hold power steady as generation rises and falls.
