Co-optimization is locked inside hardware ecosystems or built for 20-person trading desks. Vela couples market revenue, live battery degradation, and your contractual constraints in one explainable solve, then hands the schedule to whatever EMS you already run.
The ancillary services row is the one to watch: $3,190 found from zero, a program the existing strategy was never enrolled in. Degradation-aware stack optimization finds the slack that static thresholds can't see. Thirty days, no dispatch risk, no regulatory exposure. The table is what Vela would have earned.

Fleet co-optimization isn't new (PCI, AutoGrid, Tesla) but it's locked inside a hardware vendor or built for desks with traders. Vela sits in the gap: hardware-agnostic, mid-market, live degradation state, full transparency in the solve.
Vela never touches your hardware. It reads any asset (battery, EV depot, HVAC, load) and hands a schedule to your existing EMS. The lack of hardware is the moat.
FERC Order 2222 unlocks wholesale market access for distributed energy aggregations across every U.S. ISO. We're already integrated where it counts.
No. Vela is a decision layer, not a control system. It reads asset state through a protocol-adapter layer (SunSpec, DNP3, IEEE 2030.5, OpenADR, OCPP) and outputs a recommended schedule. Your existing EMS or DERMS executes it. Nothing about your control stack changes.
Vela runs the full solve every interval against live market and asset data, but never dispatches. It logs what it would have bid and reconciles that against your actual results, so you see the dollar delta with zero dispatch risk and zero regulatory exposure before going live. Most operators see their first P&L comparison within a week.
A DERMS dispatches against thresholds; it doesn't co-optimize the full revenue stack against live degradation and tail risk. A trading desk does, but costs 20 headcount and is built for utility-scale. Vela is the mid-market intersection: hardware-agnostic co-optimization with the bidding and explainability layer built in.
Every solve surfaces its binding constraints and their shadow prices in plain language: which limit drove the decision, what the unconstrained play would have been, and the exact dollar cost of each active constraint. You approve or decline with the full rationale attached. It's a co-pilot you can audit, not a black box.
Shadow mode onboards in about 48 hours once we have read access to your asset telemetry and market enrollment. No hardware changes, no dispatch. You're watching the delta within the week.
