SMARTELTER
Green Mobile Services for Smart City Energy Systems
Project overview
SMARTELTER focused on a mobile energy-service system combining lithium-ion battery platforms, photovoltaic generation, electric-vehicle charging and hot-water production. An artificial-intelligence management platform was designed to coordinate operating parameters, locations and routes while optimising electricity generation and use. The project targeted a prototype integrating hardware, software and energy management, alongside a new production unit.
