Description (French)
Edgecom Energy prévoit la forte demande d'électricité en Ontario à l'aide d'un algorithme d'IA. Cet algorithme est utilisé pour répartir les systèmes de stockage d'énergie par batterie et autres systèmes d'énergie distribuée installés dans tout l'Ontario. Ces systèmes peuvent être des unités de déplacement de charge de moteurs au gaz naturel, de la cogénération, de la trigénération, des systèmes de stockage d'énergie par batterie ou des systèmes d'automatisation de bâtiments. La technologie de la chaîne de blocs sera utilisée pour améliorer la sécurité du centre d'exploitation du réseau qui gère la répartition de ces ressources, et pour améliorer les communications.
