Withthegrid
Withthegrid's Teleport is an energy-asset gateway and control platform connecting equipment to external software through a common API. Its documentation also describes local energy management strategies for grid limits, battery peak shaving and selected flexibility services. The architecture separates site measurement and control from applications that perform broader trading or price optimisation. [1] [2] [3]
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
Teleport combines a standard cloud-control interface with documented local control strategies. Operators can send schedules while local functions constrain equipment to configured site limits. [1] [2]
Net savings and operational value
Peak shaving and improved solar self-consumption are documented local applications. Price optimisation is supplied by an external system, making its costs and performance part of evaluation. [2] [3]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
Documentation covers grid limits, aFRR and congestion-related commands. It also explains response delays and required safety margins, with different strategies for contractual and physical constraints. [2]
Interoperability across equipment brands
The gateway supports serial and Ethernet equipment through documented protocols and an asset library. A common REST interface and data forwarding connect it to external systems. [1]
Reliability and recovery
Scheduled commands have end times and defined fallback behaviour. The FAQ also describes cellular backup and an optional redundant controller rack; these are configuration-specific protections. [3]
Cybersecurity and data governance
The FAQ documents TLS 1.3, customer ownership of data and limited cloud retention for forwarding. Firmware updates are centrally managed, with staged testing and deployment. [3]
Installation, operation and user experience
Installation can be performed by customers or partners with vendor assistance. Selecting the correct asset configuration, communication connections and control strategy remains part of commissioning. [3]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Documentation includes update practices and hardware warranty information. Data forwarding supports external storage, while long-term control portability depends on the consuming application and service arrangements. [1] [3]
