The Armada Power Optimizer is a small but powerful device. When installed on an electric water heater and connected to our secure enterprise software platform, the optimizer effectively transforms an electric resistive water heater into a rapid-response energy storage asset without impacting end-user comfort.
Designed to solve some of the electric power grid’s most pressing concerns, the Optimizer unlocks many benefits. Five times more cost-effective than batteries for most grid applications, it supports a variety of grid applications, including demand response, thermal energy storage, energy arbitrage, renewables integration, time-of-use optimization, fast frequency regulation, cold load pickup support, droop control, and more.
The unobtrusive Optimizer easily attaches to an electric water tank without requiring plumbing modifications. Two small wire probes continuously monitor the top and bottom tank temperatures, ensuring hot water remains available to the consumer. The sensors efficiently track power and voltage in real-time, and the resulting telemetry helps identify leaks, burned-out elements, and other tank anomalies.
