What is an Energy Intelligence Platform?
Simply, an Energy Intelligence Platform (EI Platform) combines smart equipment (think wearable device) and software (think app) to help you save energy and money. It watches how much energy buildings or factories use and tells them how to use less.
Through the use of data analytics, and artificial intelligence to monitor, analyse, and optimise energy consumption these platforms are designed to help businesses, industries, and even cities manage their energy usage more efficiently, reduce costs, and decrease their carbon footprint.
The key elements of an Energy Intelligence Platform are:
Collecting Information: It gathers information from devices like smart metres to see how energy is used.
Studying the Information: It looks at all the energy details and finds out where too much energy is being used.
Guessing the Future: It can guess how much energy might be used tomorrow or next week based on the past and things like the weather and overall seasonality.
Showing Pictures: It shows pictures or charts via a dashboard that visually represents energy consumption data so it's easy for you to understand.
Automatic Changes: We can integrate with building or industrial control systems, allowing for automatic changes in real-time based on the analytics provided. In short, it can even change things by itself to save energy and money.
Helping the Planet: By reducing overall energy and associated costs this also helps you to reduce your overall emissions and align with sustainability goals. Even better, you now have quantifiable data to report on as well. Talk about win win!
In summary, an Energy Intelligence Platform is a tool that turns raw energy data into actionable insights, driving efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability efforts. It represents the convergence of digital technologies with energy management, making the invisible patterns of energy consumption visible and actionable.
