Xendee OPERATE is a cloud-based, AI-powered supervisory controller designed to optimize the real-time operation of microgrids and distributed energy resources (DER). The platform continuously evaluates and adjusts operational strategies by comparing live system performance with a digital twin testbed, leveraging the same optimization algorithms as Xendee DESIGN. OPERATE’s dynamic approach enables microgrids to adapt to changing conditions—such as weather, outages, and utility rates—without disrupting ongoing operations. The system automates dispatch, utility purchases, and equipment operation to achieve user-defined objectives like cost reduction, carbon minimization, and resilience. By validating savings before implementation and providing real-time feedback, OPERATE helps organizations maximize DER value, extend equipment life, and prevent outages.
