The technologies developed by IREC enable smarter and more efficient energy management in domestic environments. These innovations provide better management of domestic hot water systems, allowing for more precise and efficient regulation of energy consumption. This enables users to reduce their energy use while increasing comfort in their homes.
Energy Efficiency in IoT Systems
In the realm of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, IREC is developing thermoelectric microgenerators that can power IoT devices. These technologies offer a sustainable and efficient solution for energy generation in small electronic devices, improving energy resource management and reducing dependence on traditional energy sources.
Integrated Systems and Smart Buildings
IREC is driving research in integrated energy systems, developing innovative solutions for energy management in buildings. This research aims to optimize energy use by integrating advanced technologies and applying smart monitoring and control systems. These efforts contribute to creating more sustainable and efficient buildings, reducing their carbon footprint, and improving the quality of life for their occupants.
Modeling and Optimization of Energy Communities
Research on modeling and optimizing energy communities at IREC focuses on creating predictive models that improve the planning and management of energy within these communities of user groups that collectively produce, manage, and consume energy. These models help anticipate demand and optimize the use of available resources, ensuring efficient distribution. This not only reduces environmental impact but also promotes self-sufficiency and active citizen participation in energy management.
