Solar-IA: virtual assistant for solar distribution generation

SolarTracker provides a web service that evaluates the performance of solar power generating systems, using an artificial intelligence engine. It provides predictive maintenance intelligence that estimates performance loses and diagnoses causes. The service was designed to help operation managers and owners of solar energy systems including energy service companies, increasing energy production performance by 5%, decreasing maintenance costs by 10% and optimizing human workload by 60%.

Fuel saving for vehicles through aerodynamics

Smart Wings provides an aerodynamic solution to help the transport industry lower their fuel consumption by up to 3%. The products work by reducing turbulence generated by the differences in pressure in the vehicle. It also decreases oscillation of the vehicle rear, thus increasing the general driving stability. The company designs, manufacture, install and perform maintenance of their devices, and provides tailored solutions for each customer.

Optimization of indoor environment

NuLight has developed a system for providing improved well-being of people and optimized resource usage by creating an optimal inside environment. This is done using a mix of technologies: Circadian lighting, which simulates sunlight and therefore the natural feeling inside a building, a motion sensor system that senses how different spaces inside a building is used and adapts the environment accordingly. Furthermore, the entire systems performs data collection and analysis to continuously adapt in order to optimize every part of the building.

Early wildfire detection system

ACOT systems is an early bushfire detection system that uses optical and thermal sensors with automated movement that increases surveillance frequency. Each image is analysed with artificial intelligence algorithms to detect signs of fire. Upon finding one, an alert is initiated, indicating the most likely geolocation of the fire to the authorities responsible for controlling and extinguishing it. Detecting wildfires can protect infrastructure or sensitive environments from uncontrolled bushfire outbreaks.

Air-to-air heat exchanger for cooling

Air conditioning systems consume considerable power and have a large carbon footprint. TORO Water Air Thermal Technologies Corp have developed an air-to-air heat exchanger for cooling which they claim saves 50–80% energy compared to Conventional AC systems. It offers energy-efficient, climate friendly air conditioning alternatives and uses water as a refrigerant with Separate Sensible and Latent Cooling to maintain a comfortable range of temperature and humidity in multiple climate zones. Air Conditioners with this technology eliminate Ozone Depleting / High GWP refrigerants and reduce carbon emissions. This technology can be adapted for Residential, Commercial and Industrial cooling applications.
