The steering challenge: How can an electric vehicle, with all its energy flexibility potential, be integrated into a home setting, or small business environment? To maximize own solar energy consumption, to buy low and sell high, to use green energy ― preferably, all of the above! We apply our open source FlexMeasures platform to the…
A short opinion piece, about energy fairness and cooperation as a consequence of local and time-of-use energy prices. Local and time-of-use electricity prices can reduce energy bills, says a British think tank: “Such a system would encourage electric car drivers in Cornwall to charge their vehicles when its sunny and those in Aberdeenshire to charge…
When thinking about Energy Flexibility ― which we need to unlock for a successful climate mitigation future ― it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the complexity of that challenge. Focus is crucial! We focus locally when working on energy flexibility. David Sykes, of Octopus Energy, does a great job in this article to create priority.…
We believe open source software is a corner-stone of modern IT, and we’re proud that this month, we were able to contribute. Here, we describe how much work is behind such a simple bugfix. We use many libraries every day, one of them being Pandas, the popular data analysis / manipulation library for Python. With…
This news probably isn’t exciting to you, but we believe it should be: A microgrids industry is about to emerge, and it’s not just hospitals and military facilities. Big players like Schneider Electric are preparing to roll out a microgrid service offering applicable to buildings with an electrical load under 5 MW – this represents…
We’re improving drinking water distribution with data, together with MeterInsight and Brabant Water N.V. ! We’ll be using smart algorithms on sensor data in real time to detect consumption anomalies and provide informative historical reports.
