Fulfilling missing link in energy chain

The industry has been focusing only on the supply side of the energy distribution and this has not given the expected results. Despite of the investments to smart meters there is still a problem with the power consumption fluctuations and the efficiency are not achieved. This is all due to the missing user or demand side energy management. Yoga enables to fulfill the missing link which can provide the smart grid with the consumption information and predictions for the consumption. In addition, Yoga gives the possibility to control the amount of energy consumed in the buildings. This is necessary with the alternative energy provider like wind and solar power, where you have big fluctuations in the power supply. In those cases Yoga can provide the means to decrease the power demand and to have step-by-step recovery into normal state. But in all those cases there can also be the possibility for the end user to have override possible and this will have much higher electricity price through dynamic tariffs.  

Smart Grid and alternative energy

With Yoga you can combine your own alternative energy supply with the energy that is provided by the grid. It is easy to set up the rules for how and when to use which type of energy.

Dynamic Tariffs Alert

With fluctuating prices the end user usually has no updated information of the current energy price. This makes it possible that you will lose money washing your laundry in the most expensive time. With Yoga dynamic tariff interface you can see the prices provided by the utility and you can set your own rules of which equipment to use in which tariff. This will enable you to be sure that you will have your washing machine to start on the right tariff and that your air conditioner will not use the most expensive electricity. You can drag and drop your equipment into tariff zones what you like them to use and if you try to start your equipment on some other time you will be notified about that. Of course you have the ability to override your settings if needed.

For energy companies this gives the incentive program through pricing to spread the use of energy and to avoid the peaks. This means that on some cases with the low peak the excess energy can be even given away for free and at the same time in the peak times the pricing is made higher than regular to limit the demand for the electricity.
