Rapidly deployed, distributed, energy and telecommunications solutions

Disrupt the traditional expensive grid-locked paradigm

Traditional approaches to electrification consist of large centralised energy generation with vast transmission lines to distribute energy where it is used. These solutions are highly cost prohibitive to deploy, can take years to implement, require highly-skilled engineers, are not suited to most remote regions whilst being critically expensive to fuel, maintain and protect.

EDEA Energy’s distributed energy storage, generation and stabilisation solutions can be installed by virtually anyone and with little to no maintenance results in highly cost-effective, rapidly deployed solutions, featuring hyper-accurate and cyber-secure electronic management systems with the most advanced heat measurement and management systems ensuring long life in hot climate conditions

Distributed solutions, rapidly deployed by untrained labour

  • Rapid electrification

    EDEApacks are delivered to each dwelling and business in a remote community. An EDEApack consists of a lightweight solar EDEAtarp, an EDEAcube and appliances such as LED internal and external lighting, induction cooker, refrigeration, fans and wifi as determined by the community.

    Under the guidance of a Project Officer, the members of the community self-install their own EDEApack electrification systems on each dwelling by tying the solar EDEAtarp to the roof and plugging in the EDEAcube and the supplied appliances.

    Within hours, the community is electrified, and residents will enjoy increased safety, security, health, educational and employment opportunities and open the doors to new ventures such as eco-tourism.

  • Grid stabilisation solutions

    A self-install EDEAcube (battery inverter) placed behind the meter that monitors electricity supply into the premises.

    When voltage or frequency of supply fall outside set parameters, the device will disconnect from the grid and supply power from its internal battery. When the grid stabilises the EDEAcube will reconnect the grid and recharge itself automatically.

    When used in a swarm across an unstable grid or region, multiple units will automatically reduce and systematically shed load until the grid recovers. Efficiently maximising current grid performance for very little capital cost.

Self-managing distributed microgrid

During disaster relief and humanitarian episodes, hospitals, camps and control centres need to be set up and powered quickly and efficiently. For energy and communications, the limiting factor is often skilled resources to build and manage the micro-grid across the connected sites.

An EDEAmesh is a distributed microgrid that can be connected by onsite staff that don’t have the skills to build or balance a traditional power network. Importantly, the EDEAmesh is self-balancing and can be connected in an ad-hoc fashion. That is, it can be added to at will and as the site grows, will automatically account for changes in the grid.

Additionally, the EDEAmesh adds transparent WiFi, local telecommunications (without cell towers) and wired ethernet for the whole network using a single uplink (e.g. one Starlink) to ensure the entire site has connectivity. Magnetic interconnect ports are used to connect each unit so that if a cable gets pulled or yanked, it will pop out easily instead of moving or pulling the battery. Power lines can be laid on the ground and are water/weather resistant.

The EDEAmesh is energy agnostic and will store and distrbute power from any souce; be that, solar, wind, genset or any other source of power.
