Developing an efficient solar energy system can be challenging due to its dependency on weather conditions and time of day, leading to intermittency and variability in energy generation. Fluctuations during generation also pose challenges in grid integration, management, and energy storage.
To address these challenges, Axiomtek has developed a series of rugged industry-grade IoT gateways equipped with Intel® processors to optimize energy utilization. Our DigiHub smart edge software and embedded application programming interface (eAPI) streamline integration for customers, enable a seamless connection with their devices, and accelerate development speed.
Energy Storage Battery Management: Solution to Intermittency
Energy storage batteries, as an integral part of solar energy storage systems, are designed to store excessive power generated in the daytime or supply energy during peak hours, which mostly coincide with the time when solar energy is actively being generated. Stable real-time data processing is crucial for managing these systems effectively. Facilities can build a robust IoT infrastructure by using entry-level gateways for protocol conversion and data acquisition, along with edge computing gateways to enhance efficiency and process real-time data at the edge level.
