The Municipality of Zografou was the first public building in Greece to install Intelen’s Energy Management System and can access real time energy consumption information. This installation is the first of its kind and has stirred the public view towards greener buildings. You can view it in the news (greek only) here:

The first Greek Pilot web load profiling project was executed in
Rhodes and Zografou Municipality as well. Using Intelen’s proprietory
Web AMR methodology, with WEM-MX meter and web XML energy data integration,
based on Energy Analytics and algorithmics, Intelen analysed and mined
energy data in order to extract trends. Values and physical parameters
that were generated and used were kWh, C02, kWh/m2, 3-phase Current
and Voltage, 3-phase cosf as well as Heating and Cooling variables.
The Web Enabled Electric Meter from our unique US Partner (EnergyTracking)
that is used for the Greek pilot, is Internet enabled, broadband ready,
smart electric meter for commercial and industrial applications. It
can be deployed as a primary meter, sub meter or used for other electric
metering applications such as demand side management. Besides tracking
peak demand (kW) and energy consumption (kWh), this advanced meter
integrates many important features and provides enhanced functionality.
Its open system-design facilitates world-wide deployment to populate
applications with real time data based on accurate measurements. This
electric meter is designed to meet requirements for data on demand
from multiple users. Traditional meters focus only on single user
applications at fixed time intervals. It provides peak demand (kW)
with a date and time stamp informing you as to when the peak demand
occurred.
Furthermore, the combination of location-based services and embedding Google Maps to the existing middleware, gives great geo-spatial results. Using Google markers (Figs below) geo-correlated load profiles are indicated on a dynamic map that changes according to the variable consumption. Geographical ranking of max customers with periodicity or correlated peaks are indicated with EMIR (patented) system, giving the opportunity to an ESCO or an Energy Consultant/Company to direct its services towards specific customers with positive ROI margin and high probability of energy minimization.
Energy markers are dynamic and an overall geo-spatial search can be effectuated, over regions that are measured with our system. Micro-climate conditions and local physical parameters (temperature, humidity) were also included into the middleware, in order to produce correlated data for contraction companies (building according to best energy characteristics).
Peak analysis, correlated with kW peak and Gas consumption gave great hidden trends for CHP services or Demand Response programs to reduce peak load and shift loads towards other time slots with lower price of kW. Variable kW prices correlated with Gas prices and gain margins from the minimised load, give great results for an ESCO, in order to invest on personalized energy services. The system, using back-end energy crawlers, ranks the buildings (energy customers) and generates high probable customers.
It also has the capability to periodically record and store interval data usage (load profile) based on a user defined interval of 1 minutes to 60 minutes or more. This functionality helps identify where, when and how much energy was consumed say, every 15 minutes. It can also store energy consumption by time-of-use (TOU). This allows end users to identify how much energy was consumed during different periods of the day. Configuration settings are done via its own board web server.
Information coming out of the Energy Analytics Cloud can be used by any digital mean (Social Nets, Facebook, Twitter, IPhone, APIs). We follow open standards for digital energy service dissemination and analysis.
The procedure can analyze, measure and publish in real-time the energy consumption and calculates various energy stats of a central building or infrastructure.
This will lead to efficient Corporate Responsibility (CSR), Green marketing and energy awareness / efficiency Services, including on-line Energy monitoring and management of all Intrarom premises and C02 measurement and Reduction, base on smart web Energy Information Systems. The Energy and carbon footprint graphs and public results will be available to all portal and internet users (Info kiosks, Social Nets, etc) and will also be announced to special promotion channels or even used to existing CSR actions on employees.
Some Smart digital e-Services over Intelen's Web 2.0 platform (Energy Analytics) are:
- Better on-line management of total energy usage
- Get details about the amount and timing of your energy using profiling
- Identify and implement operational strategies to control load factor
- Understand and improve consumption Clustering and Statistical profiling
patterns
- Measure and verify anticipated energy savings and RES investments
- Highlight anomalies in electric consumption
- Create dynamic web-Energy KPIs and Scorecards for measuring Business
Impacts
- Energy suppliers can acquire faster data enabling proactive energy
management
- Immediately turns this data into valuable knowledge
- Compare that to what has been scheduled and initiate any localized
demand
- Load-based Energy Services and CO2 environmental control
- Correlates micro-climate variables with spatial data and building
processes
