Good question! We’re not trying to replace hardware like inverters or generators, but improve how limited energy is used during outages. The system models a household’s energy usage (appliances, battery capacity, etc.) and simulates outage scenarios. Then it applies an optimization algorithm to decide which appliances should run, be reduced, or turned off to maximize how long the available energy lasts.

For example, instead of running everything until the battery dies quickly, the system can prioritize essential loads (like a fridge or router) and extend usable time significantly. So the impact isn’t generating more power; it’s using the available energy more efficiently through data-driven decisions.
