01
Telemetry via inverters
No dedicated metering. Customer inverters and BESS provide the data — the PMO reads what's already there.
Chapter 02 · Solution
A clean-sheet architecture: storage, marketplace, and virtual power plant.
The Palestinian Microgrid Operator (PMO) is deliberately capital-light. It invests only in central storage and the trading platform. It does not own generation. It does not finance customer installations. It captures fees on storage, capacity, and every trade.
Layer 01 · The Server
Central storage and marketplace, owned by the PMO.
The PMO operates a multi-tier storage system — central batteries, neighbourhood batteries, and mobile truck-mounted BESS — plus the platform that clears every kWh.
| Tier | Function | Ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 0 · Central BESS | Bulk storage, arbitrage, ancillary services | PMO |
| Tier 1 · Neighbourhood BESS | Local balancing and reliability | PMO |
| Mobile Tier 1 | Truck BESS — charge / discharge on demand | PMO |
| Prosumer BESS | Home batteries, market participation | Customer |
| EV batteries | Charge / discharge, flip-role participation | Customer |
| PMO Platform | Dynamic pricing, settlement, member portal | PMO |
Layer 02 · Peer-to-Peer Trading
Every kWh clears through the PMO Server.
Producers and prosumers sell power to consumers and businesses within each microgrid network. The PMO hosts the platform and the storage, and earns storage and transaction fees on every kWh.
02
Dynamic pricing engine
Prices set by supply, demand, and time-of-day inside the microgrid.
03
Clearing & settlement
Trades clear via the PMO Server; settlement runs on the platform, not the utility.
04
Wallets & member portal
Members see their generation, consumption, trades, and balances in real time.
05
Ancillary services
Frequency response and voltage support monetised as the platform matures.
Layer 03 · Virtual Power Plant
A self-contained Palestinian energy ecosystem — at PMO service-area scale.
The VPP aggregates dispersed distributed energy resources across the PMO's network into a coordinated, dispatchable portfolio — unlocking internal optimisation value, reducing dependency on external supply, and forming the technical foundation for energy independence.
Aggregation
Every enrolled rooftop, battery, and EV becomes a single addressable resource.
Optimisation
Internal price signals and dispatch reduce peak import from the IEC.
Ancillary services
The portfolio can supply frequency and voltage support inside the microgrid.
Layer 04 · Electric Vehicles
A flip-role market participant.
Rather than a separate tier, an enrolled EV behaves as a market participant whose role flips with its direction of flow. It is a consumer when charging from the Server, and a producer when discharging back into it. EVs add an owner-funded layer of storage to the architecture — without any PMO capex.
