EnerjiX: Smart Sharing for a Clean Energy Future

The Energy Crisis & The Inefficiency of Current Systems

The contemporary energy landscape is plagued by a critical imbalance between production and consumption, leading to significant waste and inefficient resource allocation. Current infrastructure lacks the necessary mechanisms for real-time data flow and effective management, which prevents optimization. A fundamental challenge is the absence of a reliable, integrated platform for peer-to-peer energy sharing. While green sources like solar energy are increasingly produced at the individual level, the ability to share surplus power remains highly inefficient. Consequently, excess energy is often wasted or fails to reach consumers who are in genuine need, underscoring the necessity for a smarter, more connected energy ecosystem.

EnerjiX Solution: An AI-Powered Smart Energy Platform

EnerjiX is a revolutionary digital platform, encompassing both a simple mobile application and powerful underlying technology, designed to create a balanced, efficient, and clean energy market. Its core function is to empower users with unprecedented control over their consumption through AI-based analysis, real-time analytics, and notifications. The platform integrates with smart home devices like the Tuya Single-Phase Power Clamp or TP-Link HS110, which monitor and measure the real-time energy use of individual appliances (e.g., refrigerators, air conditioners). This deep-dive analysis generates personalized optimization and energy-saving recommendations for the user. Crucially, the EnerjiX platform facilitates the seamless sharing of surplus energy with others in need, transforming wasted power into a valuable resource and promoting a collaborative energy model.

Technology, Business Model, and Strategic Advantages

The system's principle is straightforward: the user installs a monitoring device, which connects to the platform via smart home apps (like Tuya or Kasa Smart). The gathered energy data is then visually presented on the EnerjiX app's dashboard and monitored using an Electronic Management System with SCADA Monitoring, which sends alerts for usage above the norm. The business model involves the sale of these smart monitoring devices (such as the Smart Energy Monitor and TP-Link HS110), generating a profit of 30 AZN per device. EnerjiX is targeting rapid development, including testing device integration and launching marketing campaigns in the first three months, with the goal of establishing an active user base of at least 500 users within a year. The platform’s innovative approach and focus on digital energy sharing, coupled with its use of AI and real-time data, position it as a leader in smart, green technology.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Alignment

EnerjiX’s commitment to smart energy, green technology, and shared resources aligns directly with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

• SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy: This is the core alignment. EnerjiX is dedicated to providing access to clean energy by maximizing the utility of individually produced solar/green energy. By balancing production and consumption, and offering a reliable sharing platform, it drives the adoption of renewable energy and promotes significant improvements in energy efficiency globally.
• SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: The platform leverages Digital Energy and robust technology, including AI-based analytics and real-time SCADA monitoring, to build resilient energy infrastructure. It represents a key innovation in smart grid management, facilitating a more effective, technologically advanced, and sustainable energy system.
• SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production:By enabling the monitoring and optimization of individual device consumption, and offering energy-saving recommendations, EnerjiX directly encourages users to adopt more responsible consumption patterns. It ensures that excess energy is not wasted but is productively shared with those in need, thereby reducing overall energy waste and promoting resource efficiency.

The development of this AI-powered energy optimization platform was significantly aided by the technical knowledge and strategic guidance provided by the faculty and mentors of the Department of Logistics and Engineering. Their expertise was crucial in two key areas: Engineering principles ensured the robust and scalable design of the Smart Energy Monitor and Scada Monitoring systems, while Logistics insights were vital for creating an efficient, reliable energy-sharing platform that effectively manages the real-time supply-demand balance and flow of surplus renewable energy to those in need.
