This project was awarded Microsoft Awards 2018 (SK).
Requirements
- Get a real-time overview of electricity consumption
- Avoid penalisation by the electric power distributor for exceeding the reserved
capacity - Reduce overall electricity consumption by identifying points of inefficiency
Solution
- Designing an IoT-based technical solution
- Installation of sensors collecting real-time power consumption data from individual switch cabinets
- Deployment of a database and an analytical and reporting software
- Building of complete hardware infrastructure (servers, cabling, communication devices)
Results
Ability to actively manage the total electricity consumption and avoid exceeding the reserved capacity and penalties
Creating conditions for saving on fixed costs by reducing the maximum reserved capacity from an electric power distributor
Saving on variable monthly costs
