Our Solution
VOLTEX provides a sustainable solution for the grid stability, cost optimization and trading in electricity factors. Towards this goal, LIOT AG focuses on the blockchain technology with VOLTEX.
Grid Stability and Security
VOLTEX ascertains a high degree of availability by placing all data of an eco-system from the periphery level onto the integration level of the platform, making it available for further processing. The powerful VOLTEX compensates dynamic and immediately occurring changes by making a short-term fall-back energy (switching-off loads) available at once, be it in case of a power drop or in case of stochastically occurring large changes in load currents. By using fall-back levels, one operates redundantly ascertaining the energy stability by maximally possible flexibility options. The system also shows current tendencies, refers to historic data and supplies forecasts for the future requirement of energy in the overall system by means of the algorithm developed by VOLTEX.
Cost Optimization
With regards to industrial companies, the integral VOLTEX energy management system secures a high availability of energy. Beyond that it is also fully responsible for reducing the operating costs for electricity. By optimally using the available resources, recycling ‘waste energy’ and storing energy, expensive high peak procurement loads for energy consumers can be capped and the energy consumption be reduced by up to 25%, thanks to an intelligent energy management.
Peer-to-peer Trading Platform
The buying and selling of energy via smart contracts is organized efficiently and automated on the trading platform. Independently of the energy source (solar, wind, biomass, classical energy sources) industrial companies, power stations, vehicle charging stations, hospitals or virtual power stations can choose preferred energy sources at low transaction costs.
Area of Application
The energy management is inserted between the third and seventh power grid levels. At the first network level, the electricity generated is first fed into the ultra-high voltage network. VOLTEX comes into use from the high voltage level down to the low voltage level where the power stations, large-scale industry and hospitals are found.
Levels 2, 4 and 6 are so-called transformer levels. They transform the current to the next lower (or, where necessary, higher) level.
Current situation and solution
More networking, more mobility, more maintenance and more connectivity pose new challenges for the energy industries.
Problem
Energy transition
The bulk of our electricity is generated by dirty, inefficient and expensive energy systems which cause health problems and exacerbate climate change. The current worldwide industrial structure is mainly made up of vertically integrated utilities and grid operators.
Problem
Rising energy consumption
Despite efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce consumption, global energy consumption will double in the next 40 years. The reasons for this are the rising population and the electrification of transport and households. Total annual European electricity consumption will rise from 24,600 TW in 2017 to 53,600 TW in 2050.
Our Solution
Revolution with VOLTEX
VOLTEX ensures network security and stability with a frequency at 50/60 Hz. Supported by the decentralised blockchain-based peer-to-peer platform, transparent trading of electricity capacities attested by certificates of origin is made possible. This promotes the change to clean and renewable energy.
According to calculations by VOLTEX, annual energy consumption will be reduced by at least CHF 40 billion worldwide as a result of optimisation in the industrial sector.
Roadmap
Since the beginning of the development of the energy management system two years ago, a tested prototype has been developed and a competent team for the further development of blockchain technology has been set up. For the future, the roadmap foresees the integration of the blockchain with the VOLTEX modules will be further developed.
