ENECHANGE Ltd. has started collaborating with Informetis Co., Ltd. to address issues in the electricity power grid

ENECHANGE Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomoya Maruoka; hereafter “ENECHANGE”) and Informetis Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taro Tadano; hereafter “Informetis”) are pleased to announce that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning the mutual collaboration of DR and customer services, with the purpose of integrating the services owned by both companies to solve issues in the electricity power grid.

Background of the Collaboration

ENECHANGE has championed the mission of Changing Energy For A Better World. Since its founding in Apr. 2015, it has developed the “Energy Platform Business” to support consumers in choosing the best electricity and gas companies, and the “Energy Data Business” to provide cloud-based DX services to electricity and gas companies.

To solve the issues faced by the electricity power grid, the utilization of Demand Response (DR) and Virtual Power Plant (VPP), which flexibly adjust electricity consumption, is crucial. Both companies have agreed to cooperate and collaborate on their services, providing necessary information and conducting discussions.

As the first step of this collaboration, we will introduce NILM Lite service from Informetis, which is a simple energy breakdown visualization, into ENECHANGE’s DR service, “ENECHANGE Cloud DR.” This initiative will further promote the spread of DR and increase participants, ultimately contributing to a stable power supply for society and a sustainable energy system through renewable energy. Additionally, discussions are underway to integrate unique features of both companies into the DR service offerings.

ENECHANGE Cloud DR

ENECHANGE Cloud DR is a SaaS-based service providing a comprehensive package of functions necessary for retail electricity providers to implement DR services. It caters to both low-voltage and high-voltage consumers, offering cost savings and rapid implementation through SaaS. Additionally, it can be customized for individual operators.

Key features:

  • Supports automatic integration of usage data, baseline calculations, shift volume calculations, and point allocation calculations.
  • Provides Customer My Page and email notifications.
  • Offers management and analysis screens.
  • Options include native apps and support for automatic control of devices (e.g., air conditioners).

Informetis Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM Lite)

NILM Lite uses AI technology to categorize electricity usage data obtained every 30 minutes from smart meters installed in each household into five categories: heating and cooling, refrigerator, standby power, lighting, and other devices. By estimating the electricity usage for each categories on a daily basis, it provides a clear understanding of electricity usage within the household. Additionally, key enhancements such as customer profiling based on this data are underway, contributing to the rationalization of DR activation for retail electricity providers and the formulation of rate tariffs.
