The need – Smart Grid Ecosystem for clean and green energy
Rationalizing power consumption and minimizing carbon footprint is the need of the hour. US Department of Energy has conservatively estimated 4% annual energy savings, aggregating at least USD 25 billion from year 2030 onwards as a result of US Government’s Smart Grid-related initiatives. Smart grid ecosystem would enable omni-directional communication between energy producers and consumers.

The chief market forces driving the smart grid revolution are: the ability to provide differentiated service to energy consumers, enhanced reliability and security, improved operating efficiencies and costs, balanced supply and demand, and reduced impact on the environment. Mindteck foresees that in the future smart grid technology evolution will be similar to the internet revolution witnessed by us a decade and half ago.

Smart Grid CommunicationMindteck provides smart grid communication services for Home Area Network (HAN), Building Area Network (BAN), and Transmission and Distribution. For HAN we provide ZigBee, HomePlug and Wifi protocol related services. For BAN, we support LonWorks and BACNet communication standards. For T&D-related communication we work on proprietary long range RF communication protocols. Under smart grid communication segment we offer communication stack development, testing & compliance, and performance improvement services.

Mindteck is among the earliest adopters of the ZigBee standard. Having developed ZigBee stacks for major silicon providers, our solution focus areas for semiconductor companies are demonstrated through solution accelerators for communication stack components that include ZigBee Pro, and MAC stack, SE1.1, HA profiles (coming soon - ZigBee IP, MAC, and Smart Energy Profile 2.0)

OEM SolutionsWe are committed to innovation for the benefit of the environment. Our smart grid services and solutions reduce energy consumption and provide our customers with increasingly eco-friendly and innovative solutions. We work with Home/Building Automation OEMs in creating smart appliances and sensors such as in-home displays, smart meters, smart thermostats, smart plugs, intelligent lighting controllers, EV charging controllers. We have successfully deployed 500+ ZigBee nodes per hub. We have also designed intelligent street lighting, truck battery charge kiosk, and solar panel communication systems.

Data Center Energy ManagementWith our Smart Energy Management solutions, we are able to transform energy into an IT asset by maximizing performance in the data center while minimizing waste. Mindteck’s Data Center and Energy Management offerings give businesses an in-depth understanding of their power consumption practices. Our solutions have helped customers reduce up to 20% – 25% of their data center energy consumption.

In-Premises Energy ManagementThe use and maintenance of institutional, commercial and industrial premises has a significant impact on energy use effectiveness. Mindteck provides energy management, data mining and analysis, and device control infrastructure services to help customers reduce energy consumption by up to 12% for their institutional, commercial, and industrial needs.

IT Application SolutionsWith over ten years of experience in Software Development and Product Engineering, we help our clients to innovate faster and reduce the time-to-market. Mindteck’s IT Application Software Services include application and data integration, testing and performance simulation, sustenance and support. For IT applications related to Energy Management we offer demand response platform integration, cloud-based energy management system (web-based portal, mobility apps), compliance solutions such as CIM, Open ADR, content analytic/BI solutions.
