Thailand's green petrol stations: Bangchak is testing a smart electricity grid

the Thai petroleum producer Bangchak wants to test a smart power grid for the operation of its gas stations. By using the battery you want to screw to save not only the power consumption, but mainly of the exhaust gases in the city of Bangkok.

students get smogfrei. Residents only with respiratory protection on the road. Drones spraying water in the air to control the exhaust gases. If the Thai capital, Bangkok, plagues currently a Problem, then it is the air pollution. For several months, the city groans under the strongest Smog in a Long time.

Bangchak, Thailand's largest petroleum producers, wants to now. his part in the exceptional situation that reduce is testing a smart electricity grid As the industry service-Microgrid Knowledge is reported, verify Bangchak currently in a pilot project, such as power consumption and exhaust gases by using a block chain-based power distributor to optimize.

for This purpose, the petroleum manufacturer now has the photovoltaic systems, one of its petrol stations in Bangkok, with a nearby shopping centre. Batteries to store the solar power in order to distribute it using the Blockchain platform on both buildings. Technical backbone of the project is Ethereum-a Blockchain of a US service provider Green Community Energy Management system (GEMS).

Proven in the pilot test in Bangkok, could be found, the System then also in the country wide network of Bangchak service stations application, explains Wuthipong Suponthana from the energy company, Leonics. This coordinates the project together with the service station operator.

Our client, Bangchak would like to collect the appropriate Know-how for the design and the use of Microgrid systems. Thus, the cost of energy will decrease storage and Bangchak want to be ready, the systems,

Suponthana describes the benefits of the Blockchain platform.

save electricity, thanks to smarter networks

recently, the idea of smart grids, however, is not. Rather have shown in the past years, numerous pilot projects that Bangchaks Vision can bear fruit. So the New operates York-based energy company LO3 Energy using Siemens already since last year, a smart Microgrid in the borough of Brooklyn. Here, the neighbors act by using a Blockchain platform with the solar power of their homes.

But also on Microgrids, in addition to the Blockchain to power networks in the future. To the Chinese elite Fudan University, one is working on a decentralized electricity market. This should allow participants to exchange without a middle-man each other power and to act. Renewable energy experience in the middle Kingdom is currently experiencing a Boom. To save this, however, and demand in the electricity grid to populate, however, as a challenge.

Here, groans also, the Federal Ministry of economic Affairs in the implementation of the project energy transition. In the future, you want to make here, the benefits of smarter networks also. In the last week from the Ministry advertised the practice text, the so-called Smart – meters technology is to be used to link various production plants, storage batteries, and consumers to each other. The feasibility study is to consider how Blockchain technology can contribute to the transition to renewable energies.
