Case Study: The Electric Storage Company achieves up to 80% electricity cost reductions and up to 65% carbon use reductions with Altair Panopticon (Altair)

Electricity Supplier Relies on Altair To Manage Power Infrastructure

The Electric Storage Company, a Northern Ireland firm that manages renewable-powered home and community battery installations for customers ranging from Belfast Harbor and Titanic Studios to public housing, faced the challenge of ingesting, processing, and analyzing high‑frequency data from the grid and thousands of devices. They needed real‑time insight into energy markets, generation, battery systems, and customer consumption to optimize power routing, storage and market sales — and selected Altair Panopticon as the control and visualization layer to meet that need.

To solve this, The Electric Storage Company built the PARIS (Predictive Analytical Renewable Integration System) platform using AWS and Kx kdb+ with Altair Panopticon as the stream‑processing and visualization component, delivered as a SaaS offering across the UK and Ireland. Altair Panopticon gives managers real‑time dashboards, playback, anomaly detection and automated alerts so the PARIS AI can buy the cheapest power and sell at peak prices; the system has driven electricity cost reductions of up to 80% and carbon use reductions of up to 65%.
