IoT Solutions for Energy and Utilities
Transforming energy and utilities through Hark’s intelligent remote monitoring technology.
Technology to power the smart energy and utility systems of the future.
The Hark Platform (an Intel® IoT Market Ready Solution) can have a huge impact in the energy and utilities sector by monitoring the condition and performance of assets such as solar panels, wind turbines or batteries, and reporting on data such as flow level, voltage, kWh, energy consumption and much more.
Smart microgrids for energy generation are now a great resource that enable businesses to create backup power sources, and in some cases, even sell excess power back to the grid.
Now, with regulatory pressures forcing the utilities industry to do more with current assets, the ability to monitor, aggregate and visualise asset data is fundamental to maintain stability in a rapidly changing sector.
How can the Hark Platform help energy and utility managers reduce costs & carbon emissions?
From wind turbines and solar farms, to energy storage systems such as batteries and electrical vehicles. Monitoring, managing and controlling these remote assets is made possible by the Hark Platform.Turn your site inefficiencies into energy savings.
Monitor Asset Health and Efficiency
Monitor the health and efficiency of your energy generating assets through real-time data insights and management.
Set Point Control and Optimisation
Control the operations and efficiency of systems across your organisation’s estate.
Remote Energy and Asset Assessments
Utilise robust analytical, forecasting and prediction mechanisms for smarter operations, in the palm of your hand.
Data Aggregation for lots of sensors
Any form of sensor data can be measured using the Hark Platform, energy meters are just one of many categories.
The advent of distributed generation, storage and electric vehicles.
Higher demands for electricity generation and distribution means that new ways of optimising and producing energy on-demand are required in order to maintain grid stability.
Control assets like heavy machinery, batteries and vehicle-to-grid charging mechanisms.
Ease the strain on power grids, produce greener electricity, and make additional energy revenue streams accessible.
Turn existing assets into demand/response assets, capable of removing the obstacles ahead of the energy revolution.
Automatically identify and optimise.
Data-led insights improve the operation of water supply infrastructure, pumps and outhouses by monitoring your individual assets in the from of sensors such as flow, pressure, temperature, humidity and kWh.
Uses real-time data to identify areas of concern.
Automatically report on and maintain assets, with minimal downtime.
Encourage carbon-neutral production and reduce waste disposal.
Deliver of your organisation’s sustainbility goals, while reducing your expenditure and maintenance costs.
