Monash University's Smart Energy City project was a living laboratory for innovative digital technology experiments, including advanced grid stability management, optimised virtual power plants, and the democratised prosumer in society (e.g. peer-to-peer energy trading transactions). Its climate change ambition challenges traditional organisational boundaries and operational roles. Check out their page.
For example, optimal decarbonisation of a campus requires a transition from capturing data for today's operations to warehousing all energy-related technology data from buildings, suppliers and devices. And doing so, de-risking the cost of future decarbonisation innovation.
As an early customer, they engaged prior to establishing the Innate Innovation brand, trading as consultants through Monash University.
Our advice led to literacy uplift, incentivising organisation-wide collaboration and establishing a culture for data governance. Our advice also led to quantifiable measures for data protection & value throughout the experiments, enabling investment and decision-making.
