Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Lambton College of Applied Arts and Technology
$25,000.00
Development of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Based Energy Management System (EMS)
FY 2019-20
Summary
TROES Corp. is a Canadian-based, advanced battery energy storage company, specializing in smart distributed energy storage solutions. TROES provides customers with Smart Distributed Energy Storage, CleanTech solutions for bill reduction, self-supply, backup, decrease of capital expenditure, power grid congestion alleviation, peak shifting, voltage adjustment and power quality, energy saving, while being environmentally friendly. Battery energy storage systems are becoming increasingly popular for industrial/commercial and residential applications. Currently, TROES is facing challenges with the remote monitoring system and the State of Charge (SOC) estimate method which is a recognized problem in energy storage industry. In collaboration with Lambton College's Lambton Energy Research Centre (LERC) TROES will develop a cloud-based monitoring system and an energy management system (EMS) to manage and to determine the energy sources (for charging batteries) and consumption rate of each unit to optimize the energy cost by selecting best energy sources at the best possible time. This project will allow TROES better control to oversee the batteries with a cloud-based monitoring system to avoid re-occurrences in the future. Upon completion of the EMS software, TROES will be able to create a complete system without relying on other products and to expand the range of products for TROES. Data collected from the monitoring system will also help them improve their products as well as to develop another algorithm to increase the precision of SOC calculation.
