Microgrid operators and sites with flexible electricity loads
Worth noticing
Orchestra is described as a Raspberry Pi with modified HAOS; customers can opt out of an approved plan with one tap.

Field notes

The page lays out a forecast-to-action sequence: Ngangk estimates demand and prices, Conductor prepares a daily plan, and Orchestra carries approved actions out on site. The team describes Orchestra as a Raspberry Pi with a modified HAOS image and says its setup flow is meant to meet a “Grandpa test.” The page also reports forecast-performance figures and a 16-day path from team chat to a live model; those are project-reported claims.
