Peak Shaving & Time-of-Day (ToD) Tariff Arbitrage
Eliminate costly maximum demand penalties and automatically shift energy consumption from high-tariff peak slots to low-cost off-peak solar/night hours.
Industrial plants across India face maximum demand (MD) surge penalties and up to 120% tariff surcharges during peak evening hours (6:00 PM to 10:00 PM). Powertrace's OJAS BESS and VYOM EMS continuously forecast facility load curves, charging the battery bank during solar generation or low off-peak tariff periods and autonomously discharging during peak tariff bands to cap grid demand below the contract threshold.
- Dynamic Maximum Demand (MD) Limiter preventing DISCOM penalty slabs
- Automated ToD tariff arbitrage scheduler optimizing daily energy bills
- Sub-second load following responsive to rapid CNC, induction furnace, and chiller spikes
- Proven 2.2 to 2.8 year financial payback across industrial tariffs in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Kerala

Sub-Second Microgrid Islanding & Power Quality Protection
Sub-20ms seamless transfer from grid to battery power, preventing voltage dips, equipment reboots, and expensive batch scrap in continuous manufacturing.
When the grid experiences transient voltage sags or total blackout, typical diesel backup generators take 15 to 45 seconds to start and synchronize. In modern automated facilities, this latency causes PLCs, robotic welding arms, continuous extrusion lines, and IT servers to fault out. Powertrace's sub-20ms high-speed islanding isolates the facility and supplies full load instantly without a single millisecond of power disruption.
- Sub-20 millisecond static transfer switch transition, completely imperceptible to sensitive electronics
- Four-quadrant active and reactive power control (P-Q mode) eliminating voltage sags & harmonics
- Eliminates the need for oversized lead-acid UPS banks and high maintenance costs
- Automated microgrid re-synchronization when main grid returns to nominal voltage & frequency

Zero-Export Diesel Generator (DG) Synchronization
Maximize rooftop solar utilization during grid outages while protecting diesel gensets from reverse-power damage and low-load carbonization.
During grid power cuts, solar inverters must traditionally be heavily curtailed or shut off completely to prevent reverse power flow into diesel generators, which causes catastrophic engine governor damage. Powertrace's VYOM EMS dynamically balances solar injection, battery charge rates, and genset throttle in under 20 milliseconds, allowing 100% solar self-consumption while maintaining DG loading in its sweet spot (>75%) for maximum fuel efficiency.
- Dynamic reverse-power protection algorithm operating at millisecond speeds
- Cuts diesel fuel consumption by 30% to 45% during daytime grid outages
- Eliminates light-loading carbon buildup, drastically reducing generator maintenance intervals
- Supports mixed multi-genset fleets with automatic generator start/stop sequencing
