Energy Management

To manage efficiently and intelligently an electric generation mix that includes various sources of renewable energy (solar, wind, biogas...), the air conditioning obtained by cogeneration, and if we want to add the variable of mobility (electric car) to our energy model, the energy management becomes a priority for Solaria.

Air conditioning

Cogeneration is the process by which we obtain both electricity and useful thermal energy (steam, sanitary hot water, ice or cold water). The advantage of CHP is its major energy efficiency because it uses both heat and mechanical or electrical energy from a single process.

Energy Saving

With various measures, such as a good insulation of buildings, a correct orientation of the windows, a combination of solar panels, wind turbines, energy-saving lamps, on-site storage systems and intelligent networks (smart grids) for the control of the whole system, buildings or single houses would bring big savings ratios and energy efficiency.

Mobility

Today the electric car is a reality strongly stimulated by the vast majority of governments because its implementation is necessary to combat climate change and because it provides an outlet for surplus energy produced by different sources of energy.

Intelligent Demand

The Intelligent Demand is a concept of management by which an "artificial demand" is created for reaping the potential energy surplus produced at specific times of the day. One example would be the introduction of electric car into the energetic model, since it would dispose of surpluses from the wind energy at night when electricity demand is usually very low. Another example would be the control of the performance of household electrical appliances during the night.

Intelligent Networks

Over the last years, a smart electrical grid has been encouraged. Following the internet model, it's based on independent nodes which can communicate with each other. So you can monitor and control the electrical flow and you will be able to integrate different clean energies in a small-scale. Instead of the current model of large production centers, a digital and self-controlled system is sought, to connect small villages, to meet the real demand, a system able to automatically report power failures and automatically switch off unnecessary lights and appliances through a wireless network system. The goal: to maximize energy. With the Smart Grid meters, electricity companies can monitor and manage the network remotely, they will be able to adjust prices according to the real demand in every hour of the day. Therefore, they are called intelligent network.
