EXAMPLE OF A TYPICAL CASE

The restaurant is in a monsoon climate, cold winters, rainy summers - which entails high costs for climate equipment.

  • Restaurant format: a detached 2-storey building with windows;
  • Type of heating: electric heating, ventilation heating - heating elements;
  • Restaurant area: 420 m2;
  • Annual electricity consumption (2021): 821 thousand kWh (2021);
  • System installation time ~ 4 days;
  • Planned annual savings: 160 thousand kWh;
  • Savings achieved (February-March 2022): 29 thousand kWh;
  • Simple payback period Energy management systems: 3.5 months.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION RESULT AND SOLVED PROBLEMS

  • Energy consumption down 28%, energy cost down 34% since we save more in peak hours
  • Peak power requirements for new restaurants down by 65%. This means that we can now open stores in new location that were previously unavailable for us due to lack of power from the grid
  • We now have the additional power reserve to expand our operations - for instance we can now put EV chargers without paying extra connection fee next to your restaurant to attract customer with electric vehicles
  • New store installation cost down 10%. Since now we know exactly how much power, ventilation, cooling, heating, refrigerating capacity we need and can control peak consumption we can design a new store at lower cost and higher efficiency and open the store faster
  • All critical equipment and processes monitored - we now know exactly what is going on in the restaurants – how production, is the technologic process observes, how is personnel performing, see more information about our customer behavior
  • We now really know how energy efficient our equipment is in the real-world environment and have established new specs for our kitchen equipment supplier.

RESULT OF APPLYING THE SOLUTIONS WE PROVIDE

Affordability:
  • 2x Reduction in heating energy bill;
  • 14% reduction in total electricity use;
  • Democratize & increase access to sustainable energy.

Resilience:
  • 5x reliability/resilience;
  • 30% power reserves unlocked using internal resources;
  • Virtual Storage solution.

Carbon Footprint:
  • Decrease 30% own generation cost;
  • Decrease 2x grid connection investments;
  • Decrease 20% renewable integration cost.

WHAT SOLUTIONS DO WE HAVE?

Internet of Energy platform unifying all assets with machine learning-driven analytics. There are 2 main solutions, the Energy Droid for optimization and the Energy Router for management and storage.

The Energy droid:
  • IoT-based, end device microgrid model predictive control, energy mgt & DR based on digital twin
  • Agnostic smart thing mesh connection
  • Two-level optimization: AI-enabled real-time control + insights for structural efficiency investments.

The Energy Router:
  • Flexible flows among independent sources: Renewables integration & lower connection costs
  • Smart allocation of storage & DR among applications
  • Aggregation of small-scale distributed resources.

HOW DOES IOE HELP SAVE ENERGY?

Each enterprise possesses numerous devices that consume energy. Each device can be very efficient however the devices usually know nothing about each other. This lack of communication can cause huge energy losses. The Internet of Things allows all devices to perform as a single microgrid which can save as much as 30-40% energy and carbon.

Affordability:
  • Cooling and heating work together 37% of the time
  • 44% of the AC are on when not needed
  • In 27% cases serviceman charge for the work that was not done
  • 22% equipment faults could be fixed without calling the serviceman
  • 90% of the time the thermostats are set to wrong temperature
  • Meters show wrong consumption in 12% cases
  • 90% of the time the temperature set point of the AC is set too low
  • 67% customers don't choose the best tariff plan available
  • 78% of the energy of heat curtains is wasted
  • 76% of the time ventilation is excessive
  • 36% of the equipment is not turned off on time
  • Internet energy system solves all these problems.

Resilience:
Control and optimize energy cost, thermal comfort, air quality, refrigerator temperature, choose optimal tariff plans, equipment health,
do peak shaving and demand response, other things. The model predictive control algorithms are based on a digital twin
of the entity

Carbon Footprint:
  • Demonstrate the energy savings and decarbonization progress
  • Energy droid will show how the energy consumption and CO2 emission will gradually decline from the baseline to reference level
  • The digital twin allows to determine the reference (optimal) energy consumption and CO2 emissions. and find where biggest savings are.
