Electriq Power is a developer of intelligent and integrated home energy storage, management, and monitoring solutions with the signature product – PowerPod smart battery system. The company’s home battery systems are designed to serve on a residential and commercial scale all over the world.
Business needs
- Providing detailed power usage insights to the end user’s energy management system in real-time to ensure energy efficiency
- Separating data of battery power production and energy consumption from the grid consumption data in order to deliver insights about real-time clean and grid energy usage
- Delivering a reliable, scalable platform for overall energy management, monitoring and control system of energy production
Solution
The role of Codibly was to develop an energy management system in a form of a user-friendly platform using IoT integration, 3rd party external fleet management application, as well as the backend for web and mobile apps and customer portal for tracking energy use and storage.
Codibly team designed, developed, and implemented the high-performance energy management system that serves as a comprehensive tool for energy production, monitoring, and control of the Electriq PowerPod system. The platform allows controlling power generation and energy consumption in real-time and in advance, reducing energy costs, and better management of electric devices like HVAC
Main features:
- Customer Portal: Web application for homeowners for monitoring energy consumption in real-time
- PowerHub: Custom smart meter that is a centre of the PowerPod system
- Qopper Integration: integration with the Qopper platform responsible for fleet monitoring and control
- Inverter Integration Gateway: enables communication between the smart battery system and the grid
- Smart Battery Platform: integration with smart batteries
Results
- Modification of battery mode behaviour – increased energy efficiency by implementing mechanisms that save battery energy
- Cost-effective solution that offers a possibility of reducing costs of energy usage by using battery power savings during high tariff period
- Efficiency of energy consumption and overall management – energy usage optimization/forecasting possible due to the created user portal with historical and live data
- Smart battery system enabling more efficient control of energy production, storage and usage
- Providing a reliable source of energy during unplanned power outages
Green impact
- Clean back-up: the platform prioritizes keeping batteries charged and ready for grid interruptions, using solar power exclusively
- Rate arbitrage: prioritizes the use of battery and renewable sources to run the loads
- The platform sets priorities to use sustainable energy as a default energy source
