TRIAZU – Improving Energy Efficiency
TRIAZU - Improving Energy Efficiency
What is Triazu?
Triazu is a state-of-the-art, agent-based simulation platform that models policy, physical infrastructure, and peopleโs behaviour. The tool improves on conventional methods by including behaviour and policy aspects along with the technological aspects.
Existing Approach
Audits are highly people intensive
Any change in appliance, layout or specifications requires a redo
Solutions require high capital expenditure
Primarily looks at technology aspects, no user behaviour modelling
Present approaches to improvement of energy efficiency are primarily technology focused, cumbersome, expensive, and involve high capital. The focus on technology alone, without looking at either policy aspects or behavioural aspects leads to limited potential in reducing consumption and increase in uptake of renewable energy.
Benefits of Triazu
Energy audits primarily scrutinise technology solutions to reduce and/or optimise energy consumption. Most IoT-based solutions model system health and energy policies and do not examine usage patterns to optimise.
Models an energy environment to reduce energy consumption by optimising for policy, technology, or user engagement
Potential to save 10-25% of energy consumption in industries by improving energy efficiency
Potential to achieve a 10% reduction in annual expenditure on energy
Potential to achieve a 10% reduction in annual expenditure on energy
Triazu can be used at a DISCOM level to understand and model demand shaping through behaviour shaping policies. Triazu can also be used to model smaller installations to model behaviour and technology to optimise the rules of the BMS system to ensure maximum acceptance for automated BMS.
Triazu Success Stories
Potential to achieve a 10% reduction in annual expenditure on energy.
Demonstrated a saving of 10% in annual energy expenditure without additional investment at IIIT-Bangalore campus.
Demonstrated 20% energy savings at a pilot with Government of Andhra Pradesh and TATA Power in the aquaculture industry.
Allows for testing multiple scenarios and evaluates trade-offs .
Meets diverse set of needs with passive and active strategy testing.
Simulates pathways to transition to renewable energy.
Reduces energy consumption and improves energy efficiency.
Business Model
Triazu is currently run on a software as a service model, where the model specific for the context is created and analysed. The tool models on the following parameters:
- Actual demand
- Current energy and usage policies in practice
- Use-cases and behaviour
In the long term, Triazu can be set up like a continuous monitoring service.
Integrates behaviour, technology
and policy hence greater savings
Cheaper than conventional
measures
User-led behaviour modelling
approach that builds on existing
processes
Based on the userโs risk appetite
