Energy Arbitrage | Episode 4 of 8 - Rosebank Mall – COMAP SMART GRID AUTOMATION

VIDEO 4 OF 8 – COMAP SMART GRID AUTOMATION

This is the fourth episode in our Rosebank Mall Energy Project Documentary Series.
Here, we focus on the intelligence of the system — ComAp’s advanced controllers that orchestrate batteries, generators, and the grid into one seamless smart energy network.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Reliable energy management in a hybrid system requires precision control. At Rosebank Mall, ComAp controllers act as the “brains” of the project — enabling real-time optimisation of cost, carbon, and resilience.

Through a combination of InteliNeo 6000, InteliMains 1010, and InteliGen 1000 units, the system:
Manages seamless power flow between grid, batteries, and dual-fuel generators
Executes peak-shaving, tariff-based arbitrage, and demand response automatically
Supports fast transitions between grid-connected and islanded operation
Provides PLC-driven fault handling, redundancy, and data logging
Gives stakeholders 24/7 visibility via cloud-based WebSupervisor and InteliConfig

What You’ll See in This Episode:

How ComAp’s smart grid logic makes automated energy decisions in milliseconds
Insights into the programming and control philosophy applied at Rosebank Mall
The role of PLC logic in dynamic load management, grid-island transitions, and automatic load shedding
Dashboards and monitoring tools that give operators and engineers real-time visibility and control
