Proprietary · provisional filing in preparation

The orchestration method behind every GridLynQ marina — filed, drawn and licensed to your site.

Hub-and-spoke energy orchestration across marina and campground estates. A US provisional application covers how one hub battery, a set of dockside spokes and a forecast built from bookings, weather, marine conditions and forward grid prices are solved together to hold your peak down. Under the model, a host would operate under a licence to that method for the life of the lease — at no cost, and with no capex. No host lease has been signed.

See if your marina qualifiesHow the deployment runs

Proprietary. A provisional patent application is being prepared and has not yet been filed. The figures below are drawing sheets prepared for that filing; the claim headings summarize scope as filed and are not a granted patent or legal advice.

Where the filing stands today

Written plainly, because it matters to anyone signing a long agreement with us: this is a pending application, not a granted patent.

  1. Provisional application on file

    Complete

    The hub-and-spoke orchestration method is written up in full — specification, claim set and ten drawing sheets — and carries a priority date from the day it was filed.

  2. Second filing in draft

    In progress

    The marina portal and the vessel-battery enrolment registry are being carried into their own application, with a redline showing exactly what came from the first filing and what is new.

  3. Conversion with counsel

    Ahead

    A provisional holds the date for twelve months. Before that runs out, counsel converts it into a full utility application, which is the filing that can be examined and granted.

  4. Examination and grant

    Ahead

    Examination takes years, not months. Until a provisional application is filed we say proprietary; once filed, patent pending — and nothing more — no claim is enforceable before grant.

Nothing here is a granted patent, an opinion on patentability, or legal advice. Claim scope, priority and entitlement are matters for our patent counsel.

What the method actually does

Your calendar is an input

Slip reservations, haul-out schedules, race weeks and campground bookings feed the forecast directly, instead of being discovered after the peak is already set.

Weather and marine signals

Temperature, wind, sea state and storm windows change both how much power the yard draws and when vessels are actually plugged in.

Demand charges first

The optimizer targets the coincident peak that sets your bill, then works the energy spread — because on a marina bill the peak is usually the bigger number.

Vessel batteries count

Enrolled vessel and vehicle batteries are treated as dispatchable capacity inside owner-authored availability windows, with credit-back flowing to the owner's dock fee first.

Service level is a hard constraint

Your guaranteed shore power is a constraint the optimizer cannot trade away, not a target it tries to hit. Losing communications drops each spoke to a safe fallback schedule.

Every decision is recorded

Forecast attribution and the dispatch decision behind it are retained, so a disputed month can be reconstructed line by line.

The figures, in plain language

Five of the ten drawing sheets, each paired with what it means for a marina operator.

Patent line drawing of a hub site with battery blocks, power conversion, switchgear, hub controller and utility point of interconnection, with radial power and data links to four spoke sites.

FIG. 1

Hub site and its spokes

Battery blocks, power conversion and switchgear behind one metered point of interconnection, with radial power and data links out to each spoke.

Your marina can be the hub or a spoke — both carry the same service guarantee.

Patent line drawing showing six input sources feeding ingestion and normalization, a feature store, a probabilistic demand forecast model, and a per-spoke forecast distribution passed to the optimizer.

FIG. 2

Multi-signal demand forecast

Reservations, weather and marine conditions, event calendars, occupancy and historical interval data resolve into a probabilistic forecast for each spoke.

A holiday weekend, a storm shift or a fishing tournament is priced in before it hits your bill.

Patent line drawing of a spoke connection assembly: pedestal, bidirectional charger, revenue-grade submeter, local spoke controller, vessel interface with isolation and handshake, and the enrolled vessel battery.

FIG. 5

Dockside spoke assembly

Pedestal, bidirectional charger, revenue-grade submeter and a local controller that keeps enforcing its limits even if it loses the hub.

Every kWh in or out of a slip is metered at the pedestal, so settlement is auditable.

Patent line drawing comparing an unmanaged coincident peak against an orchestrated peak beneath the service upgrade threshold, yielding an avoided service upgrade and an interconnection evidence package.

FIG. 8

Deferring the service upgrade

The orchestrated peak is held under the service threshold, and the record of it becomes the evidence package for the utility.

This is the difference between adding shore power and paying for a new service.

Patent line drawing of a dispatch timeline over one day: pre-charge, storm shift, peak export, service load and overnight recharge, driven by forward price and booking and weather inputs.

FIG. 9

A day of dispatch

Pre-charge, storm shift, peak export, service load, overnight recharge — set by forward prices and what the yard has booked.

Nothing for the dockmaster to run. The plan re-solves on a rolling horizon.

How it fits the pilot sites

The goal is to select the five best qualifying sites across five different environments. Each one is chosen to put a different part of the filing to work in the real world, so what we end up with is a metered record behind the method rather than a description of it. No site is named or committed here.

EnvironmentWhat it provesPart of the filing it exercises
Independently owned marinaOne hub battery behind a single metered interconnection, docks rebuilt and metered slip by slip.Hub site, dockside spokes, demand-charge-first dispatch.
Municipal or authority harbourThe same build under public procurement, with the dispatch record produced as public evidence.Recorded forecast attribution and auditable settlement.
Boatyard and winter storage estateHeavy seasonal load with haul-out schedules feeding the forecast directly.Bookings and calendar as forecast inputs.
Federal waterfront installationA guaranteed service level held as a hard constraint, with a safe local fallback if the site loses communications.Service level as constraint; islanded spoke fallback.
RV park estateThe spoke pattern away from water, showing the method is not marina-specific.Spoke assembly and vehicle-battery enrolment.

The five come out of the qualification screen — utility capacity, slip count and condition, host willingness and a clean interconnection path. Every host runs under a license to the method for the life of the lease, whichever environment they sit in.

What a host gets from it

A license, not a purchase

The lease carries the right to run your site on the proprietary method for its full term and every renewal. GridLynQ keeps the IP and the operating risk.

Performance we own

Battery performance and replacement stay on our side of the line. You keep your slips, your dockmaster and your service guarantee.

Your own numbers

Hosts log usage and model their rates in the marina host portal before signing anything.
