01 The Value of Smarter Energy
One intelligent strategy. Value across the entire energy chain.
UB Smart Dispatch goes beyond optimizing battery charging and discharging. By coordinating energy assets, tariffs and flexibility, it creates value for end users, energy retailers and VPP operators across the same energy system.
10%~30%
FOR END USERS|Additional Energy Cost Optimization Potential
Compared with conventional self-consumption or rule-based energy management, intelligent forecasting and coordinated dispatch can create approximately 10–30% additional energy-cost optimization potential, depending on tariff structure, household load and available flexibility.

FOR ENERGY RETAILERS|Retailer Profit Improvement Potential
Our experience shows that combining optimized tariffs with flexible customer assets and automated dispatch can unlock up to ~50% profit improvement potential for energy retailers under suitable market conditions.

FOR VPP OPERATORS|Additional Flexibility Revenue
The same flexible assets can create an additional revenue layer through VPP and flexibility markets. Smart Dispatch works with UB Flow to identify better dispatch opportunities, preserve end-user energy value and make more flexibility available for market participation.
UB Smart Dispatch can operate as an independent intelligence layer on top of an OEM's existing device and cloud architecture. Device data is connected to our strategy service, optimized dispatch decisions are generated continuously, and control instructions are returned through the customer's existing execution path.

03 One Strategy. Three Business Outcomes
A
For End Users
Lower Energy Bills.
A1 | Smart Charge & Discharge Timing
Automatically choose better times to charge, hold or discharge energy — using low and negative-price periods when beneficial, while preserving energy for higher-value periods.
A2 | Smart Energy Scenarios
Coordinate energy use around real household needs — such as EV charging before departure, negative-price response and flexible appliance scheduling.
A3 | Whole-Home Energy Saving
When more devices are connected, Smart Dispatch can coordinate batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps, VRV/HVAC and other controllable loads around user habits and comfort requirements to reduce total household energy cost.
B
For Energy Retailers
Build the Next Generation of Retail Energy Products.
UB Smart Dispatch connects retail tariffs with behind-the-meter flexibility, helping energy retailers turn electricity plans into intelligent energy products — from dynamic pass-through tariffs to more profitable fixed-price offerings.
PASS-THROUGH
Let users follow the market — without being exposed to every expensive hour.
For pass-through tariffs, market prices can be transparently passed to the customer while Smart Dispatch automatically shifts flexible energy use away from expensive periods and into low or negative-price windows.
Transparent pricing becomes a better customer experience.
FIXED PRICE
Protect the margin behind a better fixed price.
For fixed-price products, Smart Dispatch can combine the retailer's tariff structure with actual household consumption and flexible assets, helping reduce peak exposure, procurement mismatch and imbalance costs. The goal is not simply to sell cheaper electricity, but to improve the economics behind the tariff — enabling more competitive retail products while protecting retailer margin.
From selling electricity to operating intelligent retail energy products.
C
For VPP Operators
Create More Tradable Flexibility — With Less User Impact.
Together with UB Flow, Smart Dispatch connects market opportunities with device-level economics. UB Flow identifies, organizes and orchestrates available flexible resources, while Smart Dispatch helps determine how individual households and devices should respond without unnecessarily sacrificing end-user energy value.
More market opportunities. Better orchestration. Protected user economics.
04 Three Levels of Residential Energy Intelligence
One Intelligence Layer. Three Energy Architectures.
Battery Intelligence
Plug-and-Play Energy Storage
Typical Architecture: Balcony storage, installation-free storage and other compact residential energy products.
Move from basic self-consumption to continuously optimized home energy management.
Whole-Home Intelligence
Whole-Home Energy with UB Box
Typical Architecture: PV + Battery + EV Charger + Heat Pump / VRV / HVAC + Meter + Other Flexible Loads
Capability Focus: Whole-Home Coordination & Local Execution
Multi-Device Energy Coordination
Whole-Home Energy Cost Optimization
More Flexible Capacity for VPP
Reliable Local Strategy Execution
Expand Smart Dispatch from battery optimization to whole-home energy intelligence.
05 AI With or Without UB Box
Smart Dispatch Works Without the Box. The Box Expands What AI Can Do.
UB Box is optional.
Without UB Box
AI for the Energy Asset
If you already have an inverter, battery, cloud platform and remote control capability, UB Smart Dispatch can work directly through API or cloud-to-cloud integration — without requiring any UltimateBox hardware. In this model, Smart Dispatch focuses on optimizing the energy assets you can already control — intelligently managing charging and discharging for electricity cost savings, retail tariff optimization and VPP participation.

With UB Box
AI for the Whole Home — and Faster VPP Response
With UB Box, Smart Dispatch can extend beyond the battery and coordinate more household energy assets — including PV, batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps, VRV/HVAC systems, meters and other flexible loads.
A
More Energy Assets
Bring batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps and other flexible loads into one coordinated energy strategy, expanding both energy-saving potential and available VPP flexibility.
B
Reliable Local Execution
Execute critical strategies locally at the edge, reducing dependence on cloud latency and improving the speed and reliability of device control.
C
Higher-Frequency VPP Telemetry & Control
Go beyond typical OEM cloud intervals of around 60 seconds. With UB Box, device-side response can reach within 5 seconds, enabling more responsive VPP and grid-service opportunities.
UB Box doesn’t make Smart Dispatch possible. It expands what Smart Dispatch can see, control and respond to.
06 Continuous Intelligence
Energy Markets Keep Changing. So Does Smart Dispatch.
A good dispatch strategy is never finished. Electricity prices change. User behavior changes. New devices enter the home. Retail tariffs evolve. VPP opportunities and market rules continue to change.
UB Smart Dispatch continuously adapts to these changes — improving strategies, models and energy scenarios over time, so our partners don’t have to rebuild them again and again.
