Smart Energy System

By July 6, 2022No Comments

An energy system which aims to optimise the overall efficiency and balance of a range of interconnected energy technologies and processes, both electrical and non-electrical (including heat, gas and fuels). This is achieved through:
• dynamic demand- and supply-side management;
• enhanced monitoring of electrical, thermal and fuel-based system assets;
• control and optimisation of consumer equipment, appliances and services;
• better integration of distributed energy (on both the macro and micro scales);
• cost minimisation for both suppliers and consumers.
