Define the envelope.
Start with approved import, equipment ratings, battery reserves, thermal constraints, and service commitments.

Your site’s ambition shouldn’t stop at the meter. VoltStack is developing a control plane to coordinate batteries, flexible loads, and cooling within the power you’re allowed to use.

THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Coordinate the site. Respect the connection.
01 / THE APPROACH
Turn a fixed limit
into a coordinated site.
A battery is one lever. Flexible work is another. The opportunity is in deciding when each should act, while honoring the rules that govern the whole site.
Coordinate the levers.
Plan battery dispatch alongside deferrable compute, charging schedules, and the cooling capacity that supports them.
ACT WITHIN AUTHORITYMake performance visible.
Evaluate useful work, energy availability, constraint margins, and operational tradeoffs against the same site model.
VERIFY THE OUTCOME02 / EXPLORE THE ENVELOPE
What could your
connection support?
Change the site assumptions. See how storage can cover demand above the import limit, and where flexible work still needs to move.

What this example assumes
This simplified energy-balance model is intended to explain the concept. Each bar is a one-hour average. The grid supplies demand up to the import limit; a battery covers excess demand within its discharge and energy limits. Any remainder is assumed to be deferrable work. Battery dispatch is chronological, with a 20% energy reserve, no recharging, and idealized efficiency. Real projects require workload and thermal models, charge planning, equipment and protection studies, operating permissions, and validated control and fail-safe behavior. Peak capacity is temporary, not additional firm grid capacity.
03 / WHERE IT FITS
Different sites.
A common constraint.
The starting point is a site with a meaningful power limit, flexible demand, and an operator who needs the tradeoffs to be clear.
AI & edge compute
Match deferrable inference and batch workloads to available site power, battery energy, and thermal headroom.
COMPUTE WITH FLEXIBILITYEV fleet depots
Coordinate charging with departure schedules, vehicle energy needs, and the capacity of the site connection.
ENERGY BY DEPARTUREConstrained campuses
Evaluate shared power across mixed loads, storage, and phased growth before committing to a site expansion.
GROWTH WITHIN THE ENVELOPE04 / FROM CONCEPT TO PILOT
Start with
one real site.
Define the boundary. Identify the flexible load. Model a useful operating case. A focused pilot starts with a clear, testable question.
01
What is the approved import limit?
02
Which work can move, and for how long?
03
What result would make the pilot worthwhile?
Power is the boundary.
Coordination is the opportunity.
