--- title: "Real-time energy monitoring – peak shaving built in | NOAH" description: "Most EMS platforms sample every 15 minutes. NOAH measures every asset to the millisecond and shaves peaks automatically. See all features." url: "https://www.gotonoah.com/platform/" language: "en" --- Platform # NOAH. Built to catch what others miss. Most systems tell you what went wrong. NOAH makes sure it never does. [See all features](https://www.gotonoah.com/platform#features) - **30+** years of experience - **24/7** expert monitoring - **Live** control High resolution monitoring ## High resolution. Better decisions. **Monitoring** Traditional EMS platforms sample every 5 to 15 minutes, long enough for a spike to appear and vanish unseen. NOAH measures every asset down to the millisecond. That’s not just a feature, it’s the core principle our entire platform is built on: you can only control as precisely as you measure. **Peak protection** Most systems react only after a peak has already occurred. NOAH’s Peak Control anticipates and rebalances load automatically, easing back your EV chargers the moment your heat pump kicks in, for example. Left unmanaged, high peaks can cause equipment damage, grid operator complaints, or even a costly failure down the grid. NOAH keeps that from becoming your problem. **Control** Insight without action is just a report. NOAH acts on what it sees, automatically, across your entire portfolio. And we’re not done: new features and functionality are added continuously, so NOAH’s control only gets stronger over time. Traditional EMS - Monitoring in 5 to 15-minute averages - No peak protection - Limited or no control NOAH - Live, down to the millisecond - Automatic peak protection, in real time - Fully automated live energy control ## NOAH’s features [Book a demo](https://www.gotonoah.com/book-a-demo/) ## NOAH’s features Insights ### Every asset, no blind spots. Every asset in your portfolio (PV, BESS, EV chargers, generators, grid connections) reports into NOAH in real time, measured down to the millisecond instead of sampled every 15 minutes like a traditional EMS. Start with a full portfolio overview, then drill down site by site, asset by asset, without switching tools or losing context. Without that level of detail, a fault on one asset can look like a portfolio-wide problem or hide behind a site that looks perfectly healthy, leaving your team to troubleshoot blind. - #### Portfolio-wide, real time Every asset, live. - #### Drill down to any level From portfolio to a single asset. - #### No blind spots Nothing hides, nothing surprises. Peak Control ### Peaks managed. Reliable operations. Peak Control automatically balances the assets behind a single connection, easing back your EV chargers the moment your heat pump kicks in, for example, so peaks are smoothed out before they ever become a risk. Left unmanaged, peaks like this can cause equipment damage, complaints from your grid operator, or a costly failure further down the grid. NOAH keeps that from becoming your problem. Looking ahead: as energy hub regulation develops, Peak Control is built to extend across multiple sites. - #### Automatic and proactive Smoothed out before it's a problem. - #### Every asset, working together One system, not separate parts. - #### Prevents costly peaks No damage, no downtime. Optimalisation ### Your own energy, used smarter. NOAH continuously optimizes your system, shifting load to use your own PV and stored energy first, reducing dependency on the grid, and avoiding unnecessary stress on your equipment. Left unoptimized, self-generated energy goes to waste, grid dependency stays higher than it needs to be, and equipment wears down faster than it should, often without anyone noticing until it shows up in performance or a repair bill. - #### Maximizes self-consumption Use what you generate, first. - #### Reduces grid dependency Less reliance, more resilience. - #### Protects equipment lifetime Less stress, longer life. Status ### Know first. Act fast. See, at a glance, whether every site and asset is up and running, and get real-time alarms the moment something needs attention. Facility managers get a clear overview without digging through logs; your technical team gets the detailed alerts they need to act fast. Without it, problems typically surface only once someone notices — by which point you’re already reacting instead of ahead of it. - #### At-a-glance overview Know the status, instantly. - #### Real-time, detailed alarms Nothing goes unnoticed. - #### Ahead of problems, not behind Act before it escalates. One platform ## Level up with NOAH. NOAH gives you the insights to understand your energy system, the intelligence to recognize what’s changing, and the control to respond. NOAH works across every level of your energy system, from your full portfolio, to individual sites, down to a single asset. At each of those levels, NOAH gives you three things: the insight to understand what’s happening, the intelligence to recognize what’s changing, and the control to respond. Zoom out, and you see total consumption across your entire portfolio, an unlimited number of buildings, anywhere in the world. Zoom in, and you’re looking at the cell voltage of one specific battery, at one specific site. [See roadmap](https://www.gotonoah.com/platform/roadmap/) Roadmap ## Built to keep getting smarter NOAH is continuously evolving. New features will further expand how organizations can monitor, analyse and control their energy system. [See roadmap](https://www.gotonoah.com/platform/roadmap/) How it works ## From check to control 1. ### Check Answer a few quick questions and find out exactly what your energy system needs. 2. ### Design We translate that into a tailored setup for your specific portfolio, sites and assets. 3. ### Connect We integrate your assets (PV, BESS, EV chargers, generators, grid connection) into one system. 4. ### Go live NOAH takes over: 24/7 monitoring and control, so your energy system just works. ## Frequently asked questions Does NOAH work with my existing installations? Yes. NOAH is designed to work with existing energy installations as well as new ones. Our gateways connect compatible assets and systems into one platform, allowing you to add NOAH without rebuilding your entire energy infrastructure. As your system grows, new assets and locations can be added to the same environment. Am I locked into specific hardware with NOAH? No, your energy assets do not need to come from one manufacturer. NOAH uses its own gateway and control hardware to create a reliable connection to the platform, while integrating compatible PV systems, batteries, EV chargers, generators and other installations from different suppliers. Why does NOAH combine cloud software with local controllers? Because speed matters. A cloud round trip typically takes 50 to 500 milliseconds, too slow for the split-second control NOAH is built for. That’s why NOAH uses local controllers on-site for millisecond-level monitoring and control, while the cloud brings data together across sites for visibility, history and analysis. The result: fast local control and one clear view of your entire energy system. What happens if the internet or grid connection goes down? If the internet connection drops, NOAH’s local controllers continue monitoring and controlling your connected assets on-site. Cloud visibility is restored once the connection returns. If the grid itself goes down, what happens depends on your site design. For example, systems equipped for island operation can continue running within their configured capabilities. Can NOAH also integrate with my building management system? Yes. NOAH can exchange data with compatible building and energy management systems, depending on the available interfaces and communication protocols. We review your existing setup first and determine the most effective way to connect it.
