Revolutionising Household Energy Use

SENDER Powering Smart Living: A New Dawn in Energy Efficiency

By optimizing usage and distributing it over time, SENDER not only enhances efficiency but also mitigates demand peaks, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

The project’s innovation actually comprises a set of tools making up the SENDER system (or SENDER smart kit)

Meet SENDER, the groundbreaking innovation poised to transform household energy consumption across Europe. Tailored to the unique characteristics of each country and user—considering energy prices, consumption habits, and weather conditions—SENDER ensures energy use is shifted to the most advantageous times, paving the way for a smarter, greener future.

Discover the Future of Energy: Unboxing the SENDER Kit

Take a closer look with Matti and Sarah ↓

SENDER smart box

A Raspberry Pi reads data and sends information about the energy usage at home.

SENDER App

capable of switching appliances on and off according to the user’s needs, energy prices and photovoltaic production (if applicable).

SENDER sensors and actuators

keep track of the temperature, humidity, light level and occupancy of the rooms, and turn on and off the devices.

SENDER shared cloud

collects and stores water consumption data for analysis and modeling, to improve energy use.

SENDER smart boilers

provide wireless information on remaining hot water and potential energy production to adjust the most efficient times for heating water.

Unveiling SENDER’s Data Management

How Your Data is Used to Transform Energy Efficiency

Collected data will be stored and protected by the organisations running the pilots (Eléctrica d’Alginet in Spain, VTT in Finland, Weiz Innovation Centre in Austria). For the purpose of research, these data will be fully anonymised and then shared with the other partners of the consortium, to analyse them.

The analysis of the data is aimed at understanding deeply how different houses consume energy, and what opportunities there are to enhance their energy efficiency through the SENDER automation and monitoring devices. Likewise, the analysis will seek to generate conclusions regarding how much the scheduling of domestic energy consumption can assist the grid to better manage periods of peak demand, and to reduce its dependency on fossil fuel energy.
