Part of every engagement
AI & data analytics
We turn meter, SCADA and DER data into forecasts, alerts and decisions your teams can act on, using our platform, the systems you already run, or both.
What we deliver
Data audits and integration
Forecasting and predictive maintenance models
Dashboards and ESG KPI design
Your own algorithms deployed on live and historical data
Prove your energy is green, hour by hour
We visualise, track and certify the renewable energy behind data centres, businesses and EV charging stations, so your green claims stand up to customers, investors and auditors.
Data centres
Businesses
EV charging stations
01
Track
We connect meters, chargers and on-site generation, and bring renewable supply contracts and certificates, such as LGCs, into one record.
02
Visualise
Dashboards show your green share by hour, site and source, and flag the hours your demand still runs on grid power.
03
Certify
We issue audit-ready green energy statements and certificates for each period, ready for ESG reports, tenders and customers.
Sample profiles for illustration. Hourly matching counts green energy only in the hour it is produced, so it can sit well below the volume share.
From study to live operation
Four stages, from first study to live operation
You can engage us for one stage or all four. Every engagement starts with the outcome you need.
01
Assess
We map your assets, data and constraints, and agree the outcome and how it will be measured.
02
Design
We model the options, build the business case and set a roadmap you can take to your board or regulator.
03
Deploy
We integrate devices and data, retrofit live sites without interrupting operations, then pilot and scale.
04
Operate & improve
We tune performance, train AI models on live and historical data, and report on outcomes and ESG KPIs.
The platform behind our consulting
When a project needs software, our consultants deploy the Causal Dynamics platform. It pulls data from the systems you already run, unifies every protocol and vendor, then puts your own algorithms to work on it, in four steps from field device to control room.

Causal Dynamics platform
01
Integrate
Connect directly or through your databases. Retrofits into live projects without interrupting operations.
02
Unify
Every DER, asset and protocol in one dashboard, whatever the manufacturer.
03
Operationalise
Deploy your business algorithms and train AI/ML models on live and historical data at the same time.
04
Share
Real-time data for every department, with strict control over who sees what.
Usually with a short assessment of your network, site or portfolio and the outcome you need. From there we agree the scope, deliverables and timing.
Do we need to use the Causal Dynamics platform?
No. Our consulting stands on its own. Where a project needs software, we can deploy our platform, work with the systems you already run, or combine the two.
Can you work with our existing devices and data?
Yes. We are multi-vendor and multi-protocol. We connect to devices directly or through your existing databases, and retrofit into live projects without interrupting operations.
Can we run our own algorithms?
Yes. We can deploy your own business algorithms and train AI and machine learning models on your live and historical data at the same time.
Where do you work?
We are based in Perth, Western Australia, at 1/22 Stirling Highway, Nedlands. Talk to us about projects elsewhere in Australia.
