FuelSwitch

FuelSwitch is a web + mobile AI-assisted operations app for hybrid power sites (solar + battery + diesel/gas gensets). It ingests basic telemetry (kW, SOC, fuel level, genset status) and local weather/irradiance forecasts to recommend simple, safe run/stop windows for generators and battery charge targets. The focus is not fancy “optimal dispatch” math; it’s practical guardrails that reduce fuel burn while keeping reliability and operator trust. It includes configurable constraints (minimum genset run time, quiet hours, reserve SOC, critical load thresholds) and produces an auditable daily plan plus real-time alerts when reality diverges. It also estimates fuel savings and maintenance impacts (run hours, starts) so managers can justify changes. Integrations start lightweight (CSV upload, Modbus gateway exports) before moving to SCADA/EMS APIs. The app is designed for remote microgrids, mines, construction camps, telecom towers, and islanded facilities where diesel costs are painful and staffing is thin.
