Services – API – Asoba Clean Energy

Optimize Your Electricity Trading

Asoba’s cutting-edge grid management models are transforming the landscape of energy management in South Africa and across the continent, providing a unified data layer necessary for managing the core functions of generation, transmission and distribution. Embedding them within core workflows unlocks access to the most advanced forecasting, nowcasting, and dispatch scheduling algorithms available.

Available as REST APIs, these tools empower smart metering companies, energy traders, and independent power producers (IPPs) to optimize energy distribution, reduce costs, and maximize renewable energy utilization.

Powerful Decision Support Tools to Enhance Profits

Enhanced Forecasting and Load Management
- Accurate Predictions: Our APIs leverage advanced machine learning algorithms to provide precise forecasting of energy demand and supply, enabling better planning and operational efficiency.
- Optimized Load Distribution: Smart meters and energy traders can use our data to balance load distribution, reducing the risk of outages and ensuring a stable energy supply.
Real-Time Grid Balancing
- Dynamic Adjustments: Asoba APIs facilitate real-time adjustments to energy generation and consumption, maintaining grid stability and preventing overloads.
- Efficient Energy Use: By integrating various distributed energy resources (DERs), our platform ensures that energy is used efficiently, minimizing waste and reducing costs.
Revenue Maximization for DER Owners
- Market Participation: Our APIs enable DER owners to participate in energy markets, allowing them to sell excess power and generate additional revenue.
- Incentivized Energy Shifts: Through demand response programs, users can shift their energy usage to off-peak times, benefiting from lower rates and financial incentives.
Seamless Integration and Scalability
- Modular Design: Our APIs are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, making it easy for smart metering companies and energy traders to adopt our solutions.
- Scalable Solutions: Whether you manage a single microgrid or a large-scale energy network, our APIs can scale to meet your needs, supporting both small and large installations.

Integrate Easily Into Existing Workflows

Forecasting Endpoints (On-demand and Scheduled): Get accurate energy demand and supply forecasts on an on-demand basis or as part of a scheduled workflow.
Dispatch Endpoint: Integrate directly with smart meters, SCADA systems and inverters to directly settle dispatch decisions with DERs on an automated basis
Model Training Endpoint: Build individualized models for each metered customer based on their historical load data.
Analytics Endpoint: Enable users to run analytical queries against any stored data.
Demand Response Endpoint: Implement demand response strategies on top of already-trained models to shift energy usage towards specific metered goals.

Making API calls is fairly simple and can be done via JSON, Python, and a number of other popular languages. The base URL for Asoba APIs will be provided in the documentation. Using the model training endpoint, it will look something like https://api.asoba.co/v1/upload/ .

A sample API call for on-demand model training would therefore look something like:

[python]
import requests
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
base_url = 'https://api.asoba.co/v1/upload'
endpoint = 'historical'
headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
'Content-Type': 'text/csv'
}
payload = {
'location': 'Cape Town',
'filename': '/path/to/csv',
'customer_id': '280001'
}
response = requests.post(f'{base_url}{endpoint}', headers=headers, json=payload)
if response.status_code == 200:
print('Success:', response.json())
else:
print('Error:', response.status_code, response.text)

[/python]
