Towards carbon neutrality

The ongoing digitalization interconnects buildings to form a dynamic ecosystem. The dramatic increase of complexity requires new toolsets to operate such a system of systems more efficiently. We develop and validate such tools on research and commercial establishments.

Electric vehicles not only contribute to low carbon footprint lifestyles but have to more to offer. The available flexibility can support our energy system to function more efficiently, which leads to improved social welfare.

We develop a virtual replica of the physical system, which accurately mimics its components and operation. With continuous data streams, we can operate both the physical system and the digital copies in parallel in real-time, which offer unique and precise insights to support decision makings.

One key to cleaner energy lies in digital transformation and smart energy system, but the elephant in the room is the associated rise in resouce consumption. Can we mitigate this issue? With a range of proof-of-concept experimental studies, we show that powering the intelligence of a smart energy system with e-wastes (e.g., smart phones) is technically feasible. We can go beyond just "common charger for mobile devices".
