ENERGIOT
Information
ENERGIOT is a startup company, a spin-off from the Spanish National laboratory IMB-CNM-CSIC. We do smart monitoring of critical assets using a global deployment of self-powered IoT devices.
Currently, ENERGIOT is working with Transmission and Distribution System Operators to enhance smart grid applications, reducing up to 20% of operational and maintenance costs.
ENERGIOT can monitor power transmission assets such as conductors, towers, insulators, substations, and others. Several parameters are acquired and used to:
- Predictive maintenance by applying a health index for each asset to identify when it will fail and when it needs care.
- Detecting events such as power faults, accidents, fires, ice, and other local meteorologic conditions. Energiot can improve SAIDI and service reliability.
- Increasing grid capacity by applying Dynamic Line Rating.
- Integrating renewable sources by helping operators balance the grid's distribution and direction.
- Reducing energy loss in the transmission and distribution by avoiding accidents, knowing the assets' conditions and health, and having a massive amount of information about all power grids and their behavior.
ENERGIOT uses a patent piezoelectric energy harvester to build batteryless devices. We also collaborate with companies and partners to use this technology to create autonomous devices for other industries and applications.
