AiDC OS
Energy for AI data centres
Peak and contracted capacity reduction, backup replacement and ESG reporting for data centre operators.
- Battery storage
- Buildings & homes
- Grid
- Modbus
- MQTT
- OpenADR
Who it is for
Operators whose power draw is growing faster than the grid connection, and who need storage to do more than sit as backup.
- AI and HPC data centres facing capacity limits
- Colocation sites with contracted demand charges
- Operators reporting on energy and emissions
What goes wrong today
- Capacity is the constraint
- Grid connections take years. Compute growth does not wait.
- Backup that never earns
- UPS and batteries sit idle for almost every hour of the year.
- Reporting by spreadsheet
- ESG numbers are assembled after the fact instead of measured continuously.
What AiDC OS does
AiDC OS treats data centre storage as an active asset: it shaves peaks, defers capacity upgrades and produces the emissions data as a by-product.
- Peak and contracted capacity reduction
- Discharge storage at forecast peaks to stay under the contracted limit.
- Backup replacement
- Use grid-interactive storage for part of the backup role while keeping the reserve intact.
- Cooling and load coordination
- Schedule flexible loads with storage instead of against it.
- ESG reporting
- Continuous energy and emissions data from the same system that controls the assets.
How it works, step by step
Connect
Connect UPS, batteries, PDUs and cooling controls.
Monitor
See rack, room and site power in one place.
Predict
Forecast load growth, peaks and grid signals.
Optimise
Plan storage dispatch against the contracted capacity.
Control
Execute with the reserve protected at the edge.
Monetise
Participate in grid programmes where the site qualifies.
What you get
- Headroom without a new connection
- Peaks stay under the contracted limit.
- Storage that works
- Backup assets earn on the hours they are not needed.
- Reporting built in
- Energy and emissions data from the control system itself.
- Grid participation
- Flexibility sold into programmes where allowed.
How a deployment runs
Assess the site's load profile and reserve requirements, pilot on one room or one feeder, then extend to the site and the portfolio.

- Pilot
- Deployment
- Expansion
- Aggregation
Common questions
Does this put uptime at risk?
No. The reserve requirement is a hard constraint in the plan and is enforced at the edge.
Which storage systems are supported?
Any battery or UPS with a Modbus or vendor API interface. Integration is part of the assessment.
Can it start on one hall?
Yes. Most pilots run on a single room or feeder before expanding.
Do we need new storage to start?
No. AiDC OS starts with the UPS and batteries already on site and shows what additional storage would be worth before you buy it.
