The vans are supported by Lightning Analytics, a cloud-based data capture and analysis platform that allows operators to monitor the vehicles’ locations and state of charge.
These are grouped into three different areas: actions on the management side, actions on the energy demand side and actions on the energy supply side. Actions on the energy demand side. Actions on the management side. These steps will typically be overarching and strategic. Replace and renovate outdated equipment.
In addition, these buildings also typically house extensive infrastructure, which further contribute to energy demands. This waste is often due to outdated equipment, inefficient use of lighting and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and a general lack of awareness about energy saving practices.

With global food demanding 24/7 supply every day of the year, there is a heavy demand for storage and transcontinental transportation, which raises the carbon footprint of crops enormously. At JFC2 we will use the Vaisala sensors to check and validate the measurements being made by the HVAC system, and intervene if necessary.”
” Leap has grown quickly in the two years since it first launched its Distributed Energy eXchange, a cloud-based platform that collects reams of pricing data from California grid operator CAISO and analyzes it to discover the value of reducing electricity consumption for demand response or price-arbitrage opportunities.
These devices enable consumers to connect a variety of home appliances and systems to the internet, including their HVAC system, power system, lighting, dishwashers, coffee makers and refrigerators. Over the past few years, a wide range of smart home devices has arrived on the market.
Shell Energy’s ‘Commercialising Smart Energy Hubs’ project will recruit at least 40 commercial and industrial (C&I) customer sites to demonstrate flexible demand capacity. To achieve the full potential of flexible demand, we will require new innovation, technologies and market processes. million ($5.7 million ($19.7
Climate change is producing more severe heat , which is driving demand for air conditioners. Scientists said they want to make their technology available to consumers as quickly as possible, for use in homes and offices, or outdoors. Researchers hope their cooling panel will offer a more energy-efficient alternative to AC units.
As extreme heat records fall across the West of the US and strain the power grid, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is testing new approaches to demand response through a new virtual power plant. In August, as temperatures increased, SDG&E deployed its VPP pilot three times to support the grid during peak demand periods.
