Clink Intelligence+

The on-site AI that runs our energy management system. It calculates, forecasts and balances generation, storage and load locally — so a community's energy decisions happen at the edge, not in the cloud.

01 — What it is

The short version

A brain for the community's energy, on-site.

Clink Intelligence+ is the system behind the Community Power Hub. Where a conventional controller follows fixed schedules, our localised model reads live conditions and works out the best move for the next interval.

It is an energy management system with the calculation done by an AI model that lives on the site — forecasting demand, pricing and weather, then acting before the peak arrives.

What runs it

A localised AI model deployed on the site controller — not a remote server. The calculation happens where the energy is.

What it balances

Generation, storage, EV charging and building load, continuously, against price and weather.

What it is not

Not a dashboard you read after the fact. It acts in real time, within rules you set.

02 — How it works

Our AI Embedded Power Management System

Clink Intelligence+ keeps the computation on-site.

Localised model

The AI runs on the site controller, so decisions stay on-site and keep working without an internet connection.

Real-time calculation

Every interval, it recomputes the cheapest, cleanest way to meet demand from what is available right now.

Forecast & schedule

It blends weather, price and usage history to pre-position storage and charging before the peak arrives.

Self-learning

The model improves from the site's own patterns — no two deployments run the same configuration.

Privacy by design

Usage data is processed locally; only aggregated signals leave the site, if you choose.

Resilience

If the connection drops, the controller keeps optimising on its own model — no cloud dependency.

Each deployment is calibrated to the site's own conditions; the model's behaviour is documented per install, not claimed as a one-size-fits-all result.

03 — Why it matters

What the system is worth

Smoother cost and a grid connection that stretches further.

For asset owners, it means lower and smoother energy cost, fewer peak surprises, and a building that qualifies for EV-ready programs.

For the community, charging and loads are balanced so the grid connection is used well — capacity stretches further without a costly upgrade.

Clink Intelligence+ is not a guarantee of savings. Results depend on the site, the tariff and how the system is used.

04 — How it is deployed

How a site gets Clink Intelligence+

From profile to live optimisation in four steps.

Discovery

We profile the site's load, generation and tariff from interval data.

Deploy

The localised model is installed on the site controller alongside the Power Hub modules.

Calibrate

We tune the model to the site's patterns and your priorities — comfort, cost or carbon.

Live optimisation

The system runs optimisation continuously and reports what it did, in plain language.

Clink Intelligence+ is Clink Innovations' own energy-management system, deployed with Community Power Hub installations.

05 — Common questions

What people ask

The questions that come up before a site is scoped.

Is Clink Intelligence+ a cloud service?
No. The model runs locally on the site controller. The cloud is optional — for reporting and remote tuning — but not required for the system to optimise.
Does it need an internet connection to work?
No. The controller keeps optimising on its own on-site model even if the connection drops.
Is my energy data sent off-site?
Usage is processed locally. Only aggregated summaries leave the site, and only if you enable that.
Can it work without the full Power Hub?
It is built to run with the Hub modules, but the optimisation layer can be scoped to the assets you already have.
