Smart communication for modern energy systems
As the world shifts toward renewable energy, distributed energy systems must connect smoothly with the grid. Our service simplifies the implementation of the IEEE 2030.5 protocol, making this interaction more efficient. This protocol simplifies connecting to the smart grid, improving energy management and reliability for solar systems. Already required in places like California, it’s a key standard for improving grid efficiency everywhere.
We make implementing IEEE 2030.5-2018 easy, helping energy providers and IoT manufacturers improve efficiency and ensure compliance with modern standards. This ultimately benefits home users with better control and stability in their energy systems.
IEEE 2030.5 Overview
The IEEE 2030.5-2018 protocol, also known as Smart Energy Profile 2.0 (SEP 2.0), is a communication standard that enables smart devices, such as thermostats, solar panels, electric vehicles, and appliances, to exchange information with the grid. It facilitates two-way communication, allowing these devices to send and receive data regarding energy usage, pricing, and demand response.
This is particularly valuable for renewable energy systems like solar power, where energy production can’t always be increased on demand. The IEEE 2030.5-2018 protocol helps manage energy consumption by providing real-time updates on energy prices or high-demand periods, enabling more efficient use of available resources.
Built on IoT concepts, IEEE 2030.5 supports a wide range of functions, including security and device discovery. It ensures that smart devices can connect to the grid in a secure and interoperable way.
IEEE 2030.5-2018 standard can be applied in various environments, providing targeted energy management for different purposes:

If you’re looking for a way to simplify energy management and improve the performance of distributed energy resources, you’re in the right place.
Here is how our solution can help:
Your energy management solution needs a reliable interface for smooth two-way data exchange so that distributed energy resources can communicate effectively with the smart grid. This enables efficient energy management, demand response, and real-time pricing updates. The system must also integrate seamlessly with utility infrastructure and consumer devices for optimal performance.
At Scalo, we specialize in building solutions that optimize energy flow while preventing grid overload. Our systems adapt to real-time demand and maintain security through standardized communication protocols.
In one of the projects, we developed a custom mapper that acts as middleware between the inverter application API and the aggregator client. The software optimizes energy distribution, prevents grid overload, and supports demand response by adjusting energy flow based on real-time demand. It enables inverters to send energy back to the grid when needed and redirect energy to household devices when demand is lower. It also tracks the amount of energy transferred, ensuring real-time monitoring and efficient energy management.
