Lumin Edge is a residential load control platform revolutionizing demand-side management and grid optimization. Integrating Lumin’s intelligent load management software with a modular design, it addresses the challenges utilities face in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

As electrification advances, utilities must maintain grid reliability amidst increasing complexity. Lumin Edge’s real-time load management and behind-the-meter analytics enable precise demand shaping and customer adaptation to complex utility rates, providing a cost-effective solution for grid stability.

Lumin Edge includes one Edge Hub that manages up to five Edge Controllers. Its modular design allows each controller to be placed anywhere along the wire, from the service panel to the appliance, offering maximum installation flexibility. Universally compatible with any service panel or appliance across a wide range of wire types and sizes, it enables quick installation in twelve minutes per load.

Edge Hub connects to a power outlet and the internet router via an ethernet cable, ensuring a stable connection that is unaffected by WiFi issues. Controllers communicate wirelessly with the Hub through a secure mesh network, providing seamless connectivity. Lumin Edge balances convenience, performance and affordability by selectively managing homeowners’ largest loads.

Lumin Edge offers utilities a reliable demand-side management resource with unparalleled control and visibility over household loads. Its instant, circuit-level responsiveness and high-resolution insights enable utilities to operate enhanced demand response programs and virtual power plants (VPPs), increasing the tools available to shape demand.

Flexible installation and customer comforts like push notifications and opt-outs enable increased demand response event frequency and duration. Utilities can integrate their Lumin fleet directly into their distributed energy resource management system (DERMS). Real-time data via API integration empowers grid operators to manage dispatches effectively, analyze performance and make more informed infrastructure updates. The result is improved grid reliability and cost savings without compromising energy sales.
