Web Solution For Real-time Optimization of Thermal Energy Consumption

How developing a remote data acquisition system for physical heating control devices empowered one of Norwegian municipalities to monitor and optimize thermal energy consumption across the city in real time and save up to 30% of energy for heating public spaces.

Challenge

We needed to develop a remote data acquisition system with heat metering and regulation devices. Based on the data acquired and energy consumption analysis of its consumption indicators in certain houses, was to be adjusted the work of the regulation equipment.

Solution

  • We built a data acquisition system using interface Ethernet converters. Metering and regulation devices are connected to the converters. We made this decision because heat metering and regulation devices are located in the same houses where, in most success-stories, data communication networks are installed.
  • We developed a software package that consists of a data acquisition and long storage system, with a user interface accessible via web.
