Energy Management Software

Torus Lasso

Fast, reliable asset management for grid operators and commercial building managers. 

Lasso combines scheduling and dispatch, robust cybersecurity measures, and AI-driven asset management across fleets of storage and generation resources.

Asset Management

Advanced node-level asset controls

Lasso provides real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of sub-transmission and distribution-level assets, ensuring efficient and secure grid operations.

Schedule and Dispatch

By continuously monitoring asset performance and predictive analytics, Lasso supports dynamic re-dispatching capabilities, allowing it to adjust schedules in response to unplanned events like sudden demand spikes or generation outages.

Multi-Asset Coordination

Lasso is capable of coordinating multiple energy storage and generation assets in different locations simultaneously, minimizing the number of separate commands required to achieve desired outcomes. 

AI Optimization

Lasso employs AI and machine learning to determine the most efficient charging and discharging schedules for energy assets. These algorithms consider real-time data inputs such as electricity prices, demand forecasts, asset availability, and operational constraints to help optimize grid management. 

ASSET MANAGEMENT

Energy management built for ancillary services

Frequency Regulation

Monitors the electrical grid's frequency with response times less than 250 milliseconds and round trip response times against the DERM within 8 seconds.

Voltage Support

Lasso manages reactive power flow using advanced inverter controls through software and firmware code, enabling VAR support for voltage regulation.

Reserve Services

By configuring spinning and non-spinning reserves, Lasso ensures immediate availability of power to respond to grid contingencies.

Black Start Capability

Lasso coordinates startup sequences and synchronizes with grid parameters to facilitate black start operations in the event of widespread outages.

Grid Code Compliance

By adhering to IEEE 1547, IEC 61850, and regional grid codes, Lasso facilitates seamless participation in ancillary service markets.

Asset Management

Minimize tranmission fees while responding to grid demands

By commanding multiple node-level installations at once, Lasso enables grid operators to minimize the distance electricity travels when working to balance the grid.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

Ease congestion with targeted off-taking

With Lasso, grid operators can access and leverage storage assets connected to individual substations, enabling more localized support for overburdened sub-transmission and distribution lines.

Lasso-controlled assets are reliable and responsive
