Intelligent use of green energy to improve and optimize energy efficiency
In order for regions and businesses to adapt to a decarbonized society that is constantly changing and evolving, they must "use green energy wisely." To achieve this, it is important to consider how to combine and realize three methods: "generate and use your own energy," "generate and share energy among everyone," and "purchase energy from an external source and use it."
Macnica provides design, construction, and operational support in accordance with customer requirements to create a "Green × DX = GX (Green Transformation)" system that realizes customer requests. Specifically, we will realize "visualization of energy" for both power generation and power consumption, and propose the optimal use of each resource (power generation equipment, storage batteries, energy saving equipment, energy usage equipment, etc.). Achieve better operations.
Macnica 's "Energy Management" proposes solutions such as services that incorporate GX technology and promote optimization in a decarbonized society, and EMS that improves energy efficiency.
Energy management solution
Energy management system Kisense®
Integrated management, prediction, and control of energy in facilities
The energy management system "Kisense" realizes real-time data visualization and early detection of equipment abnormalities by installing sensors that match various energy data such as electricity, gas, and water according to each environment. In addition, unique analysis is possible by combining indoor and outdoor temperature, motion sensor, and core system data.
So far, we have installed more than 500 facilities such as production facilities, banks, hotels, airports, commercial facilities, etc., and we have many functions to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
AI camera system
AI-powered automated meter reading and more efficient energy managementhelp reduce labor, CO2 emissions, and costs
This product is a system that installs an AI camera on existing meters for gas, heavy oil, etc., and automatically reads meter values using image analysis technology. The acquired data is automatically linked to the energy management system "Kisense®", allowing detailed data down to the minute to be centrally managed in real time. In addition to the currently supported rotary meters, support for meters with seven-segment displays is planned for the future.
■ Utilizes existing meters, eliminating the need for large-scale installation work and enabling quick implementation
■ High-precision automatic meter reading using AI image analysis
■ Kisense ® In collaboration with , visualize and analyze energy consumption such as gas and heavy oil on the cloud
■ Supports labor savings and improved management levels on-site through features such as abnormal value detection, alert notifications, and automatic report creation
Next-generation smart office solution
Smart office and operational improvement
The Next-Generation Smart Office Solution installs various sensors in the facility and acquires and analyzes data in a way that does not identify individuals. By monitoring the usage status of facilities and planning efficient facility layouts and power usage schedules, we can improve office operations, reduce electricity costs for the entire facility, and create a comfortable work environment. It is characterized by being able to provide from small to large scale according to the customer's scale and budget, starting with a small start such as one floor, and expanding to one building or multiple locations as necessary. .
■ Collective management of various office-related data
■ Formulation of plans based on environmental analysis and control of equipment
■ Management and optimization of power consumption
Data visualization solution
Visualization and analysis of facility power consumption and CO2 emissions
The Data Visualization Solution collects data obtained from various sensors installed in facilities and power consumption data obtained from smart meters into the cloud, visualizes and analyzes the data, and visualizes and analyzes the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of the facility. By grasping the amount, reviewing facility operation rules, setting specific reduction targets, and controlling facility equipment, we will realize decarbonization of the facility, such as improving the operationof the entire facility and reducing electricity costs. After installation, with minimal development and configuration, we can analyze the environment, control equipment, and optimize the energy management of the entire facility.
■ No cord connection
■ Environmental analysis and equipment control
Circular energy storage system soldam
Low cost, highly safe, and resource-recycling
An environmentally friendly system
The circular energy storage system soldam is a low-cost, highly safe home lead-acid battery system that uses 100% recyclable lead batteries.
This lead-acid battery system is installed between the solar panels and the power conditioner, and acts like a dam, blocking the electricity generated by the solar power generation system during the day and releasing it at night, allowing the electricity to be used without waste. Lead-acid batteries that have reached the end of their life can be reused and recycled as storage batteries that use recycled lead, allowing for resource circulation.
By utilizing lead-acid batteries, which have a low environmental impact, and by popularizing renewable energy, we aim to accelerate the realization of a decarbonized society by increasing the rate of self-generation and self-consumption.
Vertical axis Savonius wind turbine
Peace of mind even in the event of a disaster!
Strengthening disaster prevention and BCP measures with small wind turbines
The "Vertical Axis Savonius Wind Turbine" is a completely independent, small wind turbine that uses a hybrid of wind and solar power to generate electricity, making it independent of commercial power sources and capable of providing a stable power supply even in urban areas or during disasters.
The product lineup includes four types: the monopole type "Type M," the rooftop installation type "Type R," the cold climate specification "Type A," and the strong wind specification "Type E."With a structure that is not dependent on wind direction and can generate power even at low wind speeds, there is a high degree of freedom in installation location, making it suitable for a variety of environments, including urban areas, residential areas, cold climates, and coastal areas.
Demonstration projects and research projects for a decarbonized society
Osanbashi Perovskite Social Implementation Demonstration Project
Perovskite solar cells will be widely implemented in society as "batteries anywhere"
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a futuristic technology from Japan invented by Professor Tsutomu Miyasaka of Toin University of Yokohama that offers an alternative to conventional solar panels.
Having been selected by the Ministry of the Environment for the "Regional Co-creation, Cross-sector Carbon Neutral Technology Development and Demonstration Project," Macnica began a technology development and demonstration project in fiscal year 2023 with the aim of implementing perovskite solar cells in society.
The demonstration project, "Technology development (contracted) for the use of PSCs in harsh environments such as ports," will be carried out by Peccell Technologies, Inc., Reiko Inc., and Macnica under the guidance of Professor Tsutomu Miyasaka of Toin University of Yokohama, the inventor of perovskite solar cells.
