UB Smart Dispatch connecting home energy assets

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.

Flexible Loads

Up to~50%

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.

Your architecture stays. The intelligence evolves.

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.

Smart charge and discharge timing illustration

A2 | Smart Energy Scenarios

Coordinate energy use around real household needs — such as EV charging before departure, negative-price response and flexible appliance scheduling.

Household energy scenario illustration

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.

Pass-through tariff optimization illustration

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.

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.

Your hardware. Your cloud. Our intelligence.

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.
