Inspiration
The rising energy costs and environmental concerns in large campuses and industrial facilities inspired us to create a solution that could efficiently manage energy consumption while maintaining operational excellence. We saw the need for a comprehensive system that could integrate various energy sources and provide intelligent management capabilities.
What it does
Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) is a comprehensive platform that: -Monitors real-time energy consumption and generation -Integrates with IoT sensors and meters across facilities -Tracks multiple energy sources (grid, solar, storage) -Provides visual mapping of equipment and facilities -Analyzes consumption patterns and trends -Optimizes energy purchases based on peak pricing -Manages battery storage efficiently
How we built it
We developed SEMS using bolt.new. This will integrate with IoT sensors and smart meters for data collection. It will also connect to weather and utility systems .
Challenges we ran into
Using Bolt.new streamlined our development timeline considerably, even though we needed several iterations to perfect the complex data and UI design.
