Worldwide Computer Co created Charity Engine, a global grid of home PCs working together as a vast cloud platform. Excess supply? Simply send more work to a few million machines. Instant load balancing
About
Charity Engine has been successfully harnessing spare PC capacity from millions of home PCs since 2011. The technology is already proven.
Key Benefits
A white label version of Charity Engine would be offered to your customers in exchange for discounts on their bills. Whenever the grid has excess supply, these PCs would be tasked with scientific research and/or commercial work (an extra revenue stream), immediately drawing up to +600W per unit. Pointless to switch off renewables when that power can be harnessed to create added value
Applications
National Grid and any other similar power grid administration
