How will Robotina save electricity and optimize the power consumption for lower energy bills?
Robotina might be the first blockchain company which has stepped over the conventional ESCO and practically solving the age-old issues associated with energy management and consumption. With 28 years of experience in the energy field, top-tier development and research team, and operating over 25 countries across the globe with 1 million connected points, Robotina has finally emerged as the highly responsible and visionary ESCO.
Their approach to saving energy and decreasing the energy bill is quite unique and the combination of some of the most lethal technology of the era. Let’s dig deeper.
The issues with current energy infrastructure and management
The ever higher price of electricity, unstable electrical networks as well as growing consumption of electrical energy, seriously endangers our lifestyle and natural environment. The price of electricity is significantly influenced by the uncontrolled peaks in the network/grid.
For example, when a higher number of customers use the electricity at the same time. This means a constant demand for enlarged electricity production – also the case when it is actually not needed at all. The surplus of electricity goes to waste if not used immediately.
Equally important as the surpluses, there are the deficits of electrical energy in the network, which means that the electricity has to be bought at much higher prices than normal. All of the above problems are influenced by
(1) Unstable sources, such as solar and wind power plants that produce the electricity only when the weather is favorable.
(2) Electric vehicles as the new type of random load and
(3) The current technology, which hasn’t enabled a price-favorable storage facility of larger quantities of electrical energy yet.
These three problems are the key challenges for any ESCO in the world and it could result from the following causes:
• Growing electrical energy price
• Growing electrical energy consumption
• Cost of keeping the grid stable can be as
• High as 30 % of electricity cost
So how these key issues can be solved to save electricity, optimize the power consumption and lower the energy bills all together along with saving the planet from going haywire. Robotina has done an awesome job by combining the three most revolutionary technology of the time – blockchain, Artificial intelligence and internet of things.
Robotina – Blockchain + AI + IoT
Applying several state-of-the-art technologies, the Robotina Platform reduces electric energy consumption, lowers electricity costs and optimizes the functioning of the entire electricity grid by monitoring and controlling real-time electricity consumption and distributed production. Thus it
(1) Manages the devices and
(2) Collects and processes the data from platform users.
This data is then offered to the network operators or electric energy producers.
Robotina has also set up the number of hardware devices such as
• Dimer (a device that can dim light),
• Energy management system (EMS) and HEMS (Home Energy Management System),
• An actuator (a device that can turn actuate switching on or off of electricity)
• Number of other sensors etc.
These devices will help to monitor users’ energy consumption and pattern the way they use it. These devices can also control and optimize the power consumption. All the data will be monitored and then sent to AI based Robotina platform. With their advanced hardware devices and intelligent platform Robotina can save up to 30% of electric consumption and prevent electricity wastage innumerable benefits.
