In the energy transition towards a low-carbon future, Iberdrola launched the Advanced Smart Assistant, a connected energy solution that allows customers to play an active role in the energy transition. Deployed in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud with Deloitte as the service provider, the digital solution enables customers to reduce the consumption of smart electrical appliances by 10 to 30%.
With this service, Iberdrola customers can connect and control various electrical solutions in their homes. The platform is designed to shift consumption to the cheapest tariff hours taking into account the availability of electricity in the home, while seeking more renewable generation moments, while improving the convenience of electrification and the stability of the system Adaptable to the energy needs of the customer.
The advanced smart assistant is automatically managed and developed at Iberdrola’s Innovation Middle East Center using AWS artificial intelligence services. Launched in 2016, the center specializes in innovative digital solutions for the integration of renewable energy, smart grids and energy efficiency and conservation.
With advanced smart assistants, it is designed so that electric vehicle charging is automatically performed during the hours with the lowest energy cost for the customer or the lowest emissions in the system, while maintaining user comfort. The solution also makes it possible to reduce air conditioning consumption, taking into account the thermal inertia of the house.
In addition, if the client’s home has solar panels, the platform intelligently manages the home’s energy consumption, delaying non-essential energy consumption to hours of maximum green production in the home, thus improving energy efficiency Is.
The advanced Smart Assistant provides a seamless experience through the Iberdrola Customer App. In addition, it provides information and advanced recommendations, allowing consumers to be direct architects in the energy transition and their own use of energy.
In the words of Carlos Pascual López, Head of Energy Management Solutions at Iberdrola: “Iberdrola continues to bet on innovative products and services. With the advanced Smart Assistant we are leading the way in the electrification of demand and increasing the energy efficiency of our customers. At the same time as we help with the integration of renewable generation.”
Iberdrola and Amazon recently announced a new global collaboration to leverage cloud computing technology to support the development of large-scale renewable energy projects and improve digitization in the energy transition.
“By leveraging the cloud and innovative solutions like artificial intelligence, Iberdrola is democratizing data and making it more accessible to its customers,” said Howard Geffen, general manager of Energy and Utilities, AWS. “Iberdrola’s advanced smart assistant provides the data and intelligence needed to help customers address their energy consumption and reduce costs, while also playing an active role in the energy transformation.”
“We are very proud to participate in the Iberdrola initiative.
