Technology Introduction:
• Technological Innovation – This technology combines AI algorithms and IoT architecture to intelligently regulate freezing, refrigeration and air conditioning equipment in commercial spaces, achieving instant energy saving and automatic demand response. It is also the first to use refrigeration equipment as an energy storage medium to support grid load scheduling, taking into account both food safety and customer comfort.
• Competitive or Intellectual Property Advantages – A non-intrusive refrigerant leakage detection method、Smart defrost control method.
• Important Achievements / Awards – 2024 R&D100 Awards、2025 Edison Awards.
Industry Applicability:
This system is applied in the food retail industry. Through IoT sensor networks and AI algorithms, it connects the freezing, refrigeration, lighting and air-conditioning equipment in the store, automatically adjusts the operation strategy, and achieves energy saving while maintaining food safety and customer comfort. Recently, we have developed a demand response function and have demonstrated it in specific stores, using equipment pre-cooling/cooling as energy storage to help the power grid stabilize loads during peak hours.
