GridBid™ Energy Optimization
HECSYsmart® GRIDBID™
Make Your Facility Valuable to the Grid Before the Power Is Used
Forecast what the facility will use in the next hour and next day, then communicate expected demand and available capacity before the energy is needed.
THE GRID VALUES PREDICTABILITY
The Grid Values Predictability
Every large facility impacts the electric grid, whether it participates in an energy program or not. The difference is whether that demand is visible and predictable before it occurs.
HECSYsmart® continuously measures actual facility behavior and combines that information with operating schedules, weather, equipment status, generation, storage and historical demand. GridBid™ uses that intelligence to build a more accurate picture of what the facility is expected to consume in the next hour
and the next day.
That information makes the facility more valuable to the grid because future demand becomes measurable, predictable and manageable.
FROM FACILITY DATA TO GRID VALUE
Information Becomes a Grid Resource
GridBid™M creates value by turning facility operations into useful, forward looking grid information. The opportunity is no longer limited to reducing energy consumption. It is about understanding what the facility will need, what it can control and what capacity may be available before the grid has to supply it.
Day Ahead Energy Forecasting
Estimate tomorrow's facility energy requirements using actual operating data.
Hour Ahead Load Forecasting
Continuously update expected demand
as facility conditions change.
Available Capacity Intelligence
Identify usable capacity without
compromising facility operations.
Grid Capacity Planning
Provide visibility into when the facility is
expected to require more or less power.
Automated Facility Response
Coordinate approved batteries, generators
and controllable loads when appropriate.
Portfolio Forecasting
Combine multiple facilities into one view
of expected demand and available capacity.

OPERATIONS COME FIRST
The Facility
Still Comes First
GridBid™ begins with the real operating requirements of the facility. Production, safety, reliability, resilience and equipment limitations
define what the facility can commit before any grid opportunity is considered.
HECSYsmart® understands the difference between theoretical capacity and capacity that can actually be made available. Forecasts and operating commitments are built around the real facility, not assumptions about how the facility should operate.
PRODUCTION
Continuous visibility into system performance, alarms and key operational data.
SAFETY
Equipment limits, protection settings and approved permissions guide every decision.
RELIABILITY
Maintain stable facility operation and required reserves.
RESILIENCE
Preserve backup capacity and essential operating flexibility.
PROGRAM QUALIFICATION
Grid participation, market programs and compensation vary by region, utility, program eligibility and facility capability. HECSY evaluates each opportunity using actual facility data and approved operating requirements.
HOW GRIDBID ™M WORKS
GridBid™ Turns Facility Data Into Actionable Grid Intelligence
GridBidTM starts with actual facility behavior, then builds hour ahead
and day ahead forecasts that help the facility understand expected
demand before energy is needed. The platform can communicate
that outlook, coordinate approved assets and compare actual results
to improve the next forecast.

START WITH THE DATA YOU ALREADY HAVE
What Will Your Facility
Need Tomorrow?
HECSYsmart® can begin with the energy data your facility
is already producing. We evaluate actual load behavior,
operating schedules and connected energy assets to determine
how accurately future energy demand can be forecast
and where that information may create value.
GridBid™ starts with real facility data, not assumptions.
GridBid™ Frequently Asked Questions
DBID™M CHANGES THE RELATIONSHIP
GridBid™ Allows the Grid
To Pay the Customer
Not Just the Customer Paying the Grid
Most facilities only experience the grid as a monthly expense. GridBid™
changes that dynamic by using real facility data, forward looking forecasts
and approved operating flexibility to make the site more valuable to utilities,
aggregators and energy market programs.
When HECSYsmart® can forecast expected demand, communicate available
capacity and verify performance, qualified facilities can participate in
opportunities where the grid may compensate the customer for valuable
information, flexibility and response.
