Overview

GreenWatt Infrastructure, a renewable energy leader expanding into EV fleet charging, faced a pivotal strategic need. With fluctuating EV demands and variable solar generation, their sites often:

  • Over-relied on the grid during peak hours, driving up costs and negating some of their sustainability value.
  • Had no system to predictively route surplus solar energy to charging loads, missing out on clear OPEX savings.
  • Lacked a way to visualize or quantify how smart energy orchestration could support future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilots.

Their vision was to create an intelligent orchestration platform that blends solar generation with EV charging loads, reducing reliance on grid energy and future-proofing operations for advanced energy markets. They turned to ThoughtWin IT Solutions for our deep skillset in real-time IoT telemetry, predictive AI demand modeling, and dynamic load orchestration.

Engineering Highlights

  • Unified Telemetry Pipelines: Developed pipelines using MQTT + REST to ingest multi-vendor inverter and charger data into TimescaleDB.
  • Demand Forecasting Models: Python models forecast EV charging demand vs solar supply, optimizing when to defer to grid.
  • Load Orchestration: Node.js orchestration microservice directed real-time load diversion, reducing grid pulls.
  • Visualization Dashboards: ReactJS dashboards visualized live energy flows, cost avoidance, and demand forecasts.
  • Cost-efficient Infrastructure: AWS ECS with spot instance fallback saved ~30% infra costs while handling fleet arrival surges.

Engineering Decisions

  • Stateless Orchestrators: Ensured load microservices could restart instantly under node failures or EV fleet spikes, with no local state risking corruption.
  • Event Sourcing Layer: Built energy decisions to be replayable, helping compliance and feeding ML retraining for improved demand forecasts.
  • Spot Instance Auto-fallback: Saved ~30% infra costs by using spot EC2s with seamless transition to on-demand under heavy load, essential for unpredictable EV fleet traffic.

Visualization & Reporting

Designed React dashboards giving energy managers live flows of solar production, battery state, charger demand, and grid import costs, all on a single screen. Included a “cost avoidance tracker” that calculated savings by comparing optimized flows vs grid-only scenarios — helping justify future CAPEX expansions. Added forecast overlays showing when upcoming demand peaks were likely, enabling preemptive pricing or scheduling adjustments for large fleet charges.

Business Transformation

  • Reduced grid dependency by 40% at critical hours through optimized energy flows.
  • Justified CAPEX expansions with clear cost avoidance metrics.
  • Positioned GreenWatt for future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilots with a scalable platform.

Testimonial

“Our goal was ambitious: integrate unpredictable EV loads with our solar generation to cut peak grid costs and position ourselves as a next-gen smart hub. ThoughtWin delivered. Their platform predicts demand, optimizes energy flow, and gives our managers real-time insight into avoided costs. We’re already seeing a 40% reduction in grid dependency at critical hours. This partnership has redefined what we thought possible.”
