Beyond the usual use cases! #EnergyAnalytics

Last week I took a pretty late night flight from Hyderabad to Kolkata. My flight landed at around 2.30 am early morning. Noticed a few surprising things:-

  • Almost all lights in the arrival section near the belt area were lit. Only 1 belt would have been used for our flight. (Censors wouldn’t perhaps be the best thing as the staff does move around)
  • Temperature profile was very low, HVAC system must have been on for quite sometime.

It made me think that are we creating enough value out of the data assets we have? Could there be a simple logic built that would connect flight arrival, departure timings, passenger behaviour (check in time etc) and manage overall energy consumption?

Majority enegry consumption in Airports is across HVAC and Lighting, tapping into data related to flight schedules, passenger behaviour can really help in moving beyond the obvious when it comes to using data and making the best use of it.

Sounds silly but I guess someone might just be working on it!

What do you think?

4+ years and Encounter with #BigData

Greetings!

Have spent last 7 days in sprawling Industrial campus in the Kutch region of Gujarat. The utility division alone has an operational spend of around 50 million USD! Staggering isn’t it?

We were called to review the existing infrastructure on Data acquisition and suggest possible road map on #EDA strategy implementation.

It is here I encountered #BigData for the first time, after 4+ years of playing around with data especially in the context of #EnergyAnalytics.

In this podcast I share my experience of encounter with #BigData and thoughts on why we shouldn’t get carried away with it!

Would be glad to have your thoughts/feedback!

Yours Efficiently,

In the right place at the right time and doing the right things?

We are seeing some amazing momentum in the Energy Analytics markets in India. Quite a lot of companies have been focusing on technology and building platforms, whereas we’ve taken a conscious approach to focus on developing IPs/Algorithms that can work on existing solutions and provide value addition to clients!

As we move to explore sectors like Commercial Buildings and add 2-3 industrial sectors in our list, we believe we are in the right place at the right time and perhaps doing the right things, would you agree?

Click on the LINK to listen to the final podcast, where I share my thoughts on future of energy analytics markets and our approach going forward.

Would be glad to have your feedback/comments/suggestions.

Yours Sincerely,

Impact of #ParisAgreement ratification on Industries.

Last week #TERI hosted #WSDS. It’s twitter timeline was full of amazing thoughts/ideas on what next when it comes to tackling climate change, specifically in Indian context!

Considering that we’ve been actively involved in the Industrial sector, we wanted to sum up some of our thoughts on how Paris Agreement changes Industries thought process on Energy Management and how will Energy Analytics companies react to it?

Check out this video to know about the trends and changes that the markets would see in times to come.

What are your thoughts?
