IoT for energy
Optimise the flow of grid information, improve asset performance, increase energy efficiency and ensure a balanced supply and demand with the Internet of Things (IoT).
Drive innovation in energy with Azure IoT
Monitor the performance of grid assets and optimise distributed energy resources to alleviate pressure on the grid and contribute to a sustainable future.
IoT at work in energy
Optimise energy distribution while lowering your operational costs with Azure IoT. Review common uses for IoT in the energy sector and learn more about available solutions to boost efficiency in energy management.
Grid asset maintenance
Visualise your grid’s topology, gather data from grid assets and define rules to trigger alerts. Use these insights to predict maintenance and provide more safety oversight. Prevent failures and avoid critical downtime by monitoring the performance and condition of your equipment with Azure IoT solution accelerator for remote monitoring and Azure Machine Learning.
Energy optimisation and load balancing
Balance energy supply and demand to alleviate pressure on the grid and prevent serious power outages. Avoid costly infrastructure upgrades and gain flexibility by using distributed energy resources (DERs). Drive energy optimisation with Azure Digital Twins, Azure Machine Learning and Azure Stream Analytics.
E-mobility
Maintain and service electric vehicle (EV) charging points remotely that support various charging speeds and vehicle types. Make it easier to own and operate electric vehicles by incentivizing ownership and creating new visibility into energy usage. Support e-mobility initiatives with Azure EV solution with Azure Digital Twins, Azure IoT Central and Azure Maps.
Emissions monitoring and reduction
Monitor emissions in near to real-time and make your emissions data more readily available. Work towards sustainability targets by enabling greenhouse gas and carbon accounting and reporting. Drive emissions reductions and clean energy adoption using Azure IoT Hub, Azure App Service, Power BI, Azure Blob Storage.

Energy leaders are doing great things with IoT
Norwegian utility, Agder Energi, harnesses data and collaborates with customers to make its existing grid more efficient.
Tom Nysted, CEO, Agder Energi"At Agder Energi we want to use technology to make the power grid more efficient, more predictable and more flexible. We will go from energy generators to energy partners, with a more active role for our customers."

E.ON develops a highly secure connected home solution by combining data from electrical devices in the home on a single platform.
Alex Cirlan, Head of Global Domain – HEM and Software, E.ON"By teaming up with Microsoft and leveraging Azure Sphere, we can leverage the opportunity and power of IoT and AI in a highly secure, trusted and scalable way."

Allego implements an intelligent electric vehicle charging solution with Azure IoT.
Marc Diks, CIO, Allego"Azure Digital Twins optimization has added intelligence to our EV platform. Without this optimization capability, it would be difficult to deliver a smart and flexible charging solution. We are enthusiastic about using these capabilities as we continue to evolve and improve EV platform for our customers."

Schneider Electric makes remote asset management easier using predictive analytics.
Matt Boujonnier, Analytics Application Architect, Schneider Electric"Traditionally, machine learning is something that has only run in the cloud…Now, we have the flexibility to run it in the cloud or at the edge—wherever we need it to be."
