carbonTRACK - ENERGY MANAGEMENT & IoT

FIVE UNIQUE FACETS CREATE THE CARBONTRACK PRODUCT ECOSYSTEMHardware, firmware, software, complex UX platform and a bespoke communication protocol.

CARBONTRACK OVERVIEWcarbonTRACK’s learning algorithms, wireless device switching, independent communications protocol and demand response capability provide benefits along the entire electricity value chain: for energy consumers, distributors, retailers and generators.

Connected to the distribution board (fuse box), carbonTRACK provides energy usage insights and allows consumers to control and switch electrical devices and appliances.

In solar photovoltaic, carbonTRACK gives visibility over gross and granular generation and consumptions.

carbonTRACK is an intelligent low-cost energy management ecosystem and Internet of Things (IoT) platform.

carbonTRACK FOR RESIDENTS : LOW COST ENERGY MANAGEMENT

CASE STUDY

BARBARACustomer Type: ResidentialLocation: Victoria

‘’I’m thrilled to have my first $0 bill… and I’m looking forward to my first cheque!’’

Barbara had PV solar system installed a few years ago and added another 1.5kW in early 2014. She was concerned that her panels were not performing well, as her bills were still around $500 per quarter.

carbonTRACK was installed at Barbara’s house in November 2014.

Using carbonTRACK, she:

• Within 24 hours discovered her peak output for the day was in line with the capacity of her panels and her PV system was performing well.

• Identified that without solar panels her bills would have been about $1000… so solar PV had effectively cut her bill in half.

• Considering her feed-in tariff was only 8c/kWh , carbonTRACK identified that Barbara could save an additional 10% by using her surplus solar energy during the day to power her pool pump instead of paying 17c/kWh to operate the pool pump at night

• Data also showed that the four fridges/freezer Barbara had running continuously were using a lot of power. She turned one of them off straight away in order to save more money and is considering downsizing further or upgrading to more efficient models

EFFICIENT ENERGY USE MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSEcarbonTRACK for businesses:• Collects independent electricity data, accessible on a

single platform• Benchmark performance across multiple sites• Install additional temperature sensors to eliminate HACCP

breaches• Identify trends using data captured every 15 minutes• Measure improvements• Reduces wasted electricity • Remote switching and timers on individual circuits and

equipment• Automatic control manages energy hungry devices

CASE STUDY

HAWTHORN CAFÉ Customer Type: BusinessLocation: Victoria

Café owner, Michael, approached carbonTRACK to see how he could reduce his high electricity bills. After the installation of carbonTRACK, three clear opportunities were identified to reduce electricity waste.

1. SeecarbonTRACK detected unnecessary after-hours heating and cycling of the café’s two hot water systems. By setting timers and temperature cycles, carbonTRACK was able to correct these inefficiencies and reduce electricity waste.

2. SwitchThe 3.4 kW coffee machine was often left on after-hours to avoid costs of heating the machine from cold. Simply switching the machine off at closing time and back on in the mornings helped to significantly reduce the café’s electricity use.

3. SavecarbonTRACK identified further opportunities to reduce wasted electricity:

• The food display fridge was left running over the weekend• The 2.0kW toaster and 2.5kW sandwich press were periodically left on for hours at a time

Michael has saved 13% on his last electricity since installation carbonTRACK
