Energy and IoT Smart grid: manage energy resources in real time

OTEA offers a package of modules so you can centralize, integrate data in real time and analyse energy production and manage the energy mix of self-consumption systems such as: mini wind power, cogeneration systems, batteries or photovoltaic plants. In addition, using blockchain technology you can certify the origin of self-generated energy or calculate your carbon footprint. Build your own smart electrical network, while digitizing and optimizing the internal operations of your business.

Sustainable digitization

Reinventing the energy mix of companies

Renewable and clean energies are increasingly present in the energy mix of Spanish companies, due to their green nature, the release of wholesale supply, investment support by government and European institutions or the current massive rise in price of energy. This revolution brings with it a new scenario in which the following factors converge: new business models, cutting-edge energy digitization and decarbonization policies.

Commitment to new business models in a changing regulatory framework

The energy sector, characterized by extensive and complex regulation, is currently undergoing a series of changes that affect different areas: technical, commercial and, of course, regulatory. A new situation that brings with it new business models under construction capable of coexisting with the conventional model. This new framework forces energy-consuming companies to carefully evaluate the possible impacts of regulatory regimes (compliance with obligations), the implementation of energy efficiency policies to reduce consumption or investments in self-consumption systems where renewable energies are the real protagonists.

Distributed generation starts from the disruption of the conventional generation model, since it combines the integration between the generation of conventional plants with the microgeneration of energy through self-consumption systems.

This way, companies become producers by turning over the surplus energy generated by their self-consumption systems to the conventional electricity grid. OTEA manages the demand and production of energy in real time, including the volume of surplus discharged onto the electricity grid.

Blockchain-certified smart grids

OTEA works as the brain of self-consumption facilities. The platform, in addition to having bidirectional control capacity over connected systems (start/stop, load shedding, changing setpoints or time control), integrates blockchain tools so that it is possible to register and certify the origin of the renewable energy generated or the CO₂ emissions saved thanks to the production of green energy.

The operation is simple. OTEA collects data from meters and inverters, it verifies its origin, compares the emissions with the data from the REE electricity mix and uses an app to record everything with blockchain, generating an accounting book for energy.

Digitize and optimize internal operations

Having tools such as OTEA using technologies such as blockchain, big data, IoT or AI, leads to the complete digitization of self-consumption energy assets for advanced management, integrating smart contracts with algorithms for controlling energy demand and optimizing electricity bills.

Fight against climate change and decarbonization of the energy system

Although renewable energies are massively present on the market, it is not yet possible to speak of a 100% decarbonised energy model.

Although renewables have a priority role in addressing the energy challenges of the 2030 agenda to meet the sustainable development goals set by the UN, there are still many goals to be met in the sector in terms of digitization or self-consumption, where consumers participate in the optimization of the system with their own smart electric grids.

Tools such as OTEA take a step forward in the integration of Smart Grids, also called intelligent electrical networks, by facilitating the digitization of sustainable energy systems, self-consumption and distributed generation models.

Case of success

Saltoki

Saltoki worked with OTEA to integrate the control, BMS and photovoltaic systems of its sales centres in A Coruña and Vigo.

Challenge

Saltoki, which has different selling points and logistics centres throughout Spain, needed a tool to centralize the energy control of its facilities and the production of energy through its self-consumption systems.

Solution

Saltoki digitized its photovoltaic plants and integrated all the energy information in OTEA. By having a centralized view of the plates, they can track and certify the volume of CO₂-free production generated for each of their connected locations, the total energy poured into the grid, and the reduction in CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere by including green energy in its energy mix.

Saltoki digitized the control of its installations (lighting, air conditioning…) and its photovoltaic plants in a single tool, integrating all the energy information in OTEA. By having a global vision of consumption, they can monitor and certify the volume of CO₂-free production generated for each of their connected locations, the energy balance (self-consumption, surplus to the network, network demand) and the reduction of CO₂ emissions related to the investment in renewable production systems connected to self-consumption.
