Infosys CEMP: A game-changer for energy transition

Imagine this: the sun sets on a bustling metropolis. Traffic flows smoothly, lights twinkle in windows as the local metros ferry thousands of people across a city that prides itself as the business hub of the world. And the entire operation is powered by renewable energy sources, the surplus stored for use on a rainy day. Except this isn’t a conjecture. It is a reality on an island in Singapore, enabled by one of our most exciting innovations in energy transition: the Infosys Cloud-based Energy Management Platform (CEMP), powered by VFlowTech and Amazon Web Services (AWS).   One of the most exciting aspects of this platform is its ability to support long-duration energy storage (LDES), crucial for intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind. With scalable cloud infrastructure and real-time monitoring, it improves the battery energy storage system. Any excess power generated is stored for use during peak demand hours or when generation is low.   Another key feature is the platform’s ability to create energy systems that are self-sufficient, flexible, and resilient, by enabling smart microgrids, while lowering overall carbon emissions. Think communities or businesses with their own smart microgrids, which not only lower energy costs but also ensure a stable supply of clean energy – whether they’re running off solar, wind, or other renewables.   Then, there is its comprehensive view of not only the energy generated and consumed, but costs and sustainability metrics as well. This allows for enhanced operational efficiency with predictive analytics – meaning stakeholders can act to optimize usage and storage before there’s an issue. It is even helping to reduce diesel consumption significantly for one of our clients, and the benefits have been four-fold: cost, energy, and carbon savings, as well as a short-term payback.   Now, more than ever before, we need to turn our collective effort towards building a world where the energy that we consume is clean, smart, and efficient. One where microgrids power communities, and buildings are net zero. While demand for clean, renewable energy is higher than ever, we need the right tools to reach our sustainability goals.   The Infosys Cloud-based Energy Management Platform is a huge leap in the right direction, as we’re empowering enterprises and communities alike to reduce their environmental impact. I’d say a game-changer for energy management, across enterprises, communities, and cities. And one I hope will be more widely adopted as we race towards #EnergyTransitionNow.
