SMART ENERGY
Overview
In view of the global wave of net zero emissions and the trend of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in Europe and the United States, the enterprise transformation to achieve net zero emissions can increase Taiwan’s industries’ international competitiveness. In order to help Taiwan achieve the goal of net zero carbon emissions, energy management is an important tool. The Smart Energy includes energy management and improving the efficiency of energy usage (such as optimizing the operation strategy of equipment, improving the effectiveness of renewable energy management, and facilitating the efficiency of power system operation … etc.) through ICT technology. TL develops ADR (Automated Demand Response), optimal strategy of energy-saving for air-conditioners, power station operation analysis of heat map, HES (Head End System) for meter automatic expansion and other technologies to create a smart energy cloud platform, photovoltaic monitoring system and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), used in buildings/computer rooms to save energy, solar photovoltaic management, smart meter (AMI) and other fields, can improve energy saving efficiency by 15% and solar power generation efficiency by 10% without replacing equipment and help the government to achieve The goal of 14 million smart meter deployment in 2035.SMART ENERGY

APPLICATION SITUATION
Smart Energy Cloud Platform：In response to the trend of net zero carbon emissions, TL creates a smart energy cloud platform that can monitor equipment in eight domains (including electricity, air conditioners, lighting, heat pumps, boilers, solar photovoltaics, environment and water supply and drainage) and develops useful energy-saving technologies, such as automatic demand response, the optimal strategy of energy-saving for air-conditioners and so on that can help our customers save 15% energy without replacing equipment. The platform has managed about 50,000 air-conditioners in 4 different cities which is the evidence of platform’s capability to scale up and fully cooperate with third-party participants in the ecology of energy management. The platform has won the bronze medal in the 2021 Taiwan Innotech Expo. We think the platform can help our customers in energy management and ESG (Environmental Social Governance) and assist Taiwan to reduce carbon emissions by half, achieve net zero emissions by the year 2025.
PV Monitoring System：In response to the government's green energy policy and energy transformation, the goal of solar installed capacity will reach 20 GW in 2025. TL builds a platform and many useful functions, such as power station operation analysis of heat map to help customers catch real-time information of solar power generation and detect the bad status of power stations in advance improve power generation efficiency by 10%. TL also develops DNP3.0 (Distributed Network Protocol Interface) that successfully interfaces with Taipower DREAMS (Distributed Renewable Energy Advanced Management System) and compiles with Taipower's grid-connection specifications. As of March 2023, the amount of customers is 360, the amount of sites is 869, and the amount of the total installed capacity of PV under management exceeds 208MW.
AMI Meter Reading Head-end System：Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meter reading head-end system complies with the international standard DLMS (Device Language Message Specification) and Taipower interface specification. AMI’s pioneered NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) network access peak staggering mechanism helps to increase base station service capacity and the flexible expansion technology of HES can flexibly expand the number of meter data collection modules according to the number of managed meters. HES can manage more than 1 million meters, and it has been applied to Taipower AMI Phase I ~ Phase IV (over 700,000 meters in total). The meter reading ability and quality have been highly recognized, assisting the government to achieve the goal of 3 million smart meter deployments in 2024 and won the bronze medal in the 2023 Taiwan Cloud IoT Innovation Award - Excellent Application Award.
