Eclipse VOLTTRON is versatile. Designed initially to improve power grid operations, this technology enables decision-making and solutions for any need that requires collection, management and analysis of data streams. Just use your imagination!

Eclipse VOLTTRON is:

• Secure
• Functional, supporting energy, operational and financial transactions between network entities
• Scalable
• Interoperable
• Sophisticated yet simple—providing a readily useful environment for quick, cost-effective solution development.

Beyond grid and buildings, potential uses extend to improved interoperability between utility systems and proprietary home energy technologies; cybersecurity applications; data management; product tracking; energy efficiency in non-building disciplines, such as irrigation management; and more.

The Eclipse VOLTTRON platform—and by extension, its users—continues to benefit from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ongoing development funding and support. DOE wants to optimize the platform for buildings-grid integration and transactive energy, but the agency also is supportive of alternate uses—and full realization—of the technology’s potential.
