Energy management towards sustainable development
Energy and sustainable development
Energy runs the world.
The energy footprint of a company, company and individual says more about them than other data. Obtaining useful forms of energy in the past and now has a great impact on development and on our environment. Demand for electricity is growing. The dramatic growth of electric mobility and the increase in production from renewable sources pose a challenge to electricity networks, which urgently need new solutions based on active consumers.
For this reason, it is crucial that we optimally manage the conversion and transmission of energy and thereby have a positive impact on the environment, reduce costs and enable sustainable development.
Our own, advanced link-to-technology technology has enabled us to develop modern, cost-effective and durable solutions for households and companies, and more importantly, the use of proven building blocks and methods enables fast and cost-effective digitization of business models and the integration of entire energy verticals.
VISION AND TECHNOLOGY
Vision
Since humanity is not ready to slow down the pace of its development, nor to give up the benefits and comforts we have gained from the use of electricity, the only sustainable way is to use all our technology and knowledge to provide clean and safe energy where and when we need her.
This is possible through the connection and integration of producers, consumers, distributors, the grid and everyone else who, through real-time cooperation, maintains the stability and efficiency of our electricity system. To achieve this, we provide all stakeholders with technology and solutions that simplify development, enable collaboration and connect all partners in real time. Our partners can easily, reliably and securely digitally transform their business.
Technology
Energy devices, energy production systems and consumers (PROSUMERS) need to be reliably controlled. For this, the CYBRO-3 PLC controller is used, which was created on the basis of many years of experience in industrial automation. In order to enable integration into the platforms and cooperation, it is necessary to prepare the data and securely transfer it to the platform.
For this purpose, the EDGE solution was developed and implemented in the IoT linker, which ensures the preservation and refreshing of the digital twin that "lives in the cloud". The HIQ-Universe platform enables those with the appropriate authorizations to automatically transfer changes to the digital twin into reality. With this, we have created a virtual universe that is paired with real devices and creates a new, virtual ecosystem where cooperation between devices, users and service providers is enabled.
MEASUREMENT, ANALYTICS, ACCOUNTING
The power of business intelligence, predictions and artificial intelligence
To know is to master
The measurement of energy flows in buildings, industry and infrastructure is key to the appropriate distribution of costs and revenues and represents the basis for all further measures. "Smart Energy" solutions are the best way to capture data, display, analyze and bill, and at the same time provide entry into the world of optimization. Our solutions use wired (Modbus, Ethernet, MBus) and wireless (LORA, 4G, LTE, 5G) connections and can be combined with local control to enable management, shutdown and optimization. Advanced solutions provide real-time calculations, a combination of external and internal resources and mutual settlements. Standardized access to data ensures ease of use for Barocnik's IT staff.
SOLUTIONS FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
COS (Cognitive Optimization System)
Constantly automated optimization saves up to 30% of energy
COS (Cognitive optimization system) is connected to the digital twins of the building. The basic COS module, EE (Energy efficiency), uses data from all 4S solutions and through a system of rules constantly takes care of as low energy consumption as possible. If the building is automated with HIQ systems, then no additional equipment is required. In the case of any BMS, CNS system, we install an IOT linker, which enables the establishment of digital twins and the connection to HIQ-Universe. We have developed more than 300 rules, which are constantly updated. We adapt the parameters of the rules to each object, and then subject them to continuous improvements using machine learning and artificial intelligence and multi-objective optimization.
BEMS
Advanced energy management in buildings
BEMS or "building Energy Management System" combines measurement, analytics and COS, and additionally by using dynamic management, own resources, storages and other advanced methods, ensures the cheapest average price of energy.
HEMS
Home Energy Management System
HEMS is the most important device that enables energy management in every home and turns the home into an active consumer, but when the owner has a built-in solar power plant, electric car charging station, energy storage and other major energy devices, HEMS provides optimization, automatic implementation of the energy strategy and access to many services of the ROX Universe platform. Together with the platform, it can thus enable participation in the market of flexibility, virtual power plants, energy neighborhoods, energy sales and much more.
SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY
FEMS
When energy management is a competitive advantage
In industry, the cost of energy can mean the difference between winning and losing a competitive battle. Energy management can increase competitiveness, and data is the basis for business and investment decisions. As a result, successful companies control their main energy consumers and add their own resources. FEMS ensures the capture of all data, performs analysis, detects malfunctions and deviations, and enables regulation of the electric peak. In combination with the Robotina HATS machine monitoring system, it is a key component of solutions for INDUSTRY 4.0.
SOLUTIONS FOR CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
Charging infrastructure
Electric car chargers have a specific consumption profile and otherwise need a lot of power when charging the car. The electricity grid is practically always limited and often combined with other consumers, so the only option for optimal use is dynamic management. XEMS solutions provide flexible charging power limitation so that the charging station gets all the energy that is available at the time, taking into account other consumers. By connecting to the HIQ Universe, however, we can combine digital twins into digital structures and ensure the dynamic limitation of a group of charging stations in combination with other consumers and taking into account local resources. This protects the network and enables optimal use of the infrastructure. Additional functionalities can ensure optimal distribution of energy and power, aggregation and disaggregation to the charging station manager.
SOLUTIONS FOR SOLAR POWER PLANTS
SPSS
Mastered solar energy
The sun gives energy, how much we manage to convert it into electricity depends on many parameters, such as defects, dirt and shadows. Unfortunately, it is believed that big mistakes are less harmful than small ones because they are usually not noticed. In this way, we can lose part of our energy and thus our income for months and years, and eventually, errors can become dangerous, causing fires, injuries and other undesirable consequences. SPSS, in conjunction with local SCADA, by integrating into Robotina's digital services, constantly monitors the operation of the power plant by individual branches (strings) and, using advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, detects deviations when they do not cause major damage.

FOR NETWORK OPERATORS, ENERGY PROVIDERS AND CITIES
Opportunities for network operators
Connected devices and new business opportunities
Digitization brings challenges and incredible opportunities. There are already 7 times more connected devices on our planet than there are inhabitants of this planet and the moment is not far when this ratio will be 20:1. Many of these have a significant impact on the energy picture. The situation has become complex and requires new, digital business models, which some will be able to use perfectly. Technology and rich domain knowledge, as well as our own platform and cooperation methodology, are guarantees that with our help the digital transformation will be faster, more efficient and very affordable.
