More electrification.
Smarter use of existing power.
As buildings add EV chargers, electric heat pumps and new appliances, electrical demand can outgrow available service capacity. SorXen coordinates flexible loads to help make better use of existing infrastructure while maintaining comfort and protecting critical equipment.

Upgrading a building's electrical service or distribution panel can be expensive, disruptive and time-consuming. ASTRA is designed to manage controllable loads intelligently before a major upgrade is considered, subject to an electrical capacity assessment and applicable requirements.
EV charging demand
Coordinate EV charging with other building loads instead of allowing every charger to draw maximum power simultaneously.
Reduced simultaneous charging demand and better use of available electrical capacity.
Electric heat pumps
Support efficient heating and cooling while managing compressor demand and preserving indoor comfort.
Lower peak electrical demand while maintaining indoor comfort.
Existing electrical service
Use measured demand and configurable priorities to help keep managed loads within the site's approved operating limits.
Improved capacity utilization and potentially deferred electrical upgrades.
Measure. Prioritize. Coordinate.
ASTRA combines electrical measurements, configurable control rules and compatible equipment interfaces to distribute available power across connected systems.
Real-time load monitoring
Track incoming electrical demand and the available capacity for managed equipment. Define site-specific thresholds, response times and safety margins.
Priority-based control
Prioritize essential services and occupant comfort. Delay, limit or sequence lower-priority loads according to owner preferences and equipment constraints.
Intelligent EV charging
Communicate with compatible EV chargers to reduce charging power or schedule charging when capacity is available. For example, a project may use an 80% service-load threshold as its configured control target.
Heat-pump integration
Where supported by the equipment manufacturer, communicate over Modbus or BACnet to request lower compressor speed or limit demand without abrupt shutdowns.
Smart-breaker coordination
Integrate compatible smart breakers or relays to manage selected noncritical appliances, with electrical protection and essential loads remaining independent of convenience controls.
Battery and time-of-use optimization
Coordinate compatible batteries to charge during lower-cost periods and discharge during higher-cost periods, where permitted and economically appropriate.
Adding Cooling Capacity Without Major Electrical Upgrades
As cooling demand grows, older buildings face a challenge: adding modern cooling systems without exceeding existing electrical capacity.
Decentralized monoblock heat pumps offer a practical alternative to central cooling, but limited electrical capacity can restrict installation.
Enerinno's Smart Load Management Solution
Coordinate heat pumps, EV chargers and other controllable loads using compatible Modbus RTU or BACnet interfaces.
Manage compressor demand during peak periods while maintaining indoor comfort.
