Internet of Things makes smart energy management possible for Fudura
Today, just 20 percent of energy in the Netherlands is generated sustainably. This means that much remains to be done if net zero emissions are to be achieved and explains why a sustainable energy supply is high on the agenda. Although reducing energy consumption and sustainable sources are both essential, the scaling up of sustainable energy production will be a huge challenge.
Solar and wind energy are unpredictable and make it difficult to guarantee a stable energy grid. Also, many organizations are finding it difficult to gain an insight into their energy consumption. Finding the right balance between supply and demand is a complex puzzle that requires innovative solutions.
Innovative EMS is enabling organizations to become fully independent
Fudura provides the total solutions for smart energy management that can make organizations fully independent of the public power grid. Its core service element is an innovative EMS, which consists of hardware like solar panels, wind turbines and batteries. Measurement systems and special software enable customers to manage, control and coordinate all these elements.
The Fedura EMS integrates and optimizes various energy sources and storage devices. Because of this, solar panels and wind turbines are able to generate sustainable energy, which is used straight away or stored in batteries for later use. During this process, measurement systems continually gather data about energy production, storage and consumption. The EMS software analyzes this data in realtime to predict energy needs, provide insights and optimize the energy system.
Connectivity is essential
KPN IoT connectivity is essential for the optimal performance of the Fudura EMS. Reliable connections between the hardware, software and internet ensure that the EMS can constantly exchange data with external systems and make realtime decisions.
“The IoT connection is the backbone of our EMS. Without a stable and fast connection, it’s impossible for us to exchange data realtime”, says Joep Grosfeld, EMS Project Manager at Fudura. “This is essential for the prediction of energy consumption and the optimization of our systems. KPN gives us the crucial connectivity we need to offer our customers reliable and efficient energy solutions.”
Practical example: sewage treatment in Harderwijk
One concrete example of this partnership is sewage treatment In Harderwijk. It involved use of the Fudura EMS to establish a smart connection between solar panels, a battery and a main meter. This connection has resulted in the achievement of an efficient and sustainable energy supply that performs optimally whatever the weather conditions.
The partnership between Fudura and KPN IoT shows how crucial connectivity is to the energy transition. KPN’s reliable IoT solutions allow Fudura to utilize its innovative energy solutions to the full and contribute to a more sustainable future.
