Key Terms You'll See Below
See the Glossary for a complete list of technical terms.
Financial Modelling
Skyprospector Setup
Timeline
- Month 1Skyprospector configured with site data
- Month 2Business model refinement
- Month 3Financial projections validated
| Simtricity | Tellus |
|---|---|
| Setup Skyprospector modelling instance | Validate and sign off provided numbers |
| Collaborate on business model finalisation | Provide site-specific inputs (tariffs, usage patterns) |
Metering Setup
COP11 Asset Meter Accreditation
Timeline
- Month 1Meter installed and data flowing
- Month 2COP11 accreditation complete
- Month 3Ongoing data validation
Why Does Metering Matter?
To get paid for flexibility services, you need proof of what energy was delivered. The UK electricity market requires meters to be accredited to industry standards (COP11) and registered with Elexon before any market payments can flow. This workstream sets up the "evidence chain" that proves your V2G chargers delivered what was promised.
How Meter Data Flows to Market
Accurate, accredited meter data is the foundation of all market revenue
| Simtricity | Tellus |
|---|---|
| Specify meter requirements and installation location | Install Emlite EMP1.cx meter at pilot site |
| Load meter data into Simtricity Flows | Secure Export MPAN (tracks energy sent to grid) for pilot site |
| Accredit meter for COP11 with Elexon | Provide HHDC feed (half-hourly readings) from Import MPAN |
Bidirectional Dispatch
V2G Control Integration
Timeline
- Month 1Charger API integration development
- Month 2Axle integration live, first dispatch events
- Month 3Full operation, shadow billing, revenue validation
What is "Dispatch"?
Dispatch is when Axle Energy sends a signal telling your charger to do something — charge, discharge, or hold. These signals are based on wholesale electricity prices: when power is expensive, you discharge and earn money; when it's cheap, you charge. The Flux controller translates these market signals into actual commands for your Tellus chargers.
The Dispatch Cycle
| Simtricity | Tellus |
|---|---|
| Integrate Tellus charger API with Flux controller | Install charger(s) at pilot site |
| Provide Axle integration under existing contract | Provide API access credentials |
| Pay 100% of Axle flex revenues to Tellus during pilot | Connect V2G-capable vehicle(s) |
Pilot Risk: V2G Discharge API
V2G discharge functionality requires confirmation that the Tellus charger API supports bidirectional control commands. If only unidirectional charging (G2V) is available during the pilot, Simtricity will provide simulated discharge revenue projections based on actual market prices to demonstrate the value opportunity.
