Eluva
ELUVA combines a local energy management system with ELUVA LINK, a virtual power plant platform. Its Swiss offering targets industrial and agricultural sites, property developments and shared buildings. Modular functions cover solar self-consumption, peak reduction, storage, charging and heating, while compatible installations can also participate in electricity-system services through the aggregation platform.

The entries below document published information against the eight assessment criteria. They distinguish stated capabilities from evidence needed for verification. No scores have been assigned.
Demonstrated innovation
ELUVA combines local optimisation with aggregation and self-learning forecasts. Its feature-stacking approach brings self-consumption, peak reduction, charging and system-service participation into one configurable offering. [1]
Net savings and operational value
The company offers load-profile analysis and project-specific amortisation estimates. Savings and market income depend on tariffs, equipment and use; published examples should not be generalised. [1] [3]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
ELUVA LINK aggregates batteries for system services alongside local self-consumption and peak shaving. Eligibility requires technical assessment; published minimum sizes are indicative rather than universal qualification. [1]
Interoperability across equipment brands
The EMS page identifies interfaces including Modbus, MQTT, APIs and OCPP, plus example compatible brands. Exact model, firmware and functional support need confirmation. [2]
Reliability and recovery
ELUVA states that its industrial-computer controller continues local operation without internet. Optional UPS support and island operation are described, with the latter requiring suitable additional components. [2]
Cybersecurity and data governance
ELUVA says its servers run in ISO 27001-certified data centres and describes protected connections. This does not establish certification of the entire EMS product. [2]
Installation, operation and user experience
The controller box is delivered wired, and modules can be tailored to local requirements. Project support includes sizing, component selection and a configurable user dashboard. [2] [3]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Regular EMS updates and a maintenance agreement are described. Published information reviewed does not specify a guaranteed support period, data-export format or configuration-portability process. [2]
