The world needs to transform how energy and water are managed.

Energy and water have forever been two foundational pillars of civilization.

Today, the climate changes induced by excess carbon-dioxide emissions (tied to the burning of fuels to generate and consume energy) along with the massive extraction & severe depletion of groundwater for intensive agriculture have become civilizational risks. To address these the world needs to transform how energy and water are managed. inGeniti, with its unique IoT smart grid solutions for energy and water, is on a path to do just that.

Per Capita electricity use is set to rise 2-10x acrosss the world.

Balancing rising energy demands with climate goals requires innovative grid management, scalable storage solutions, and sustainable investments to stabilize low-carbon electricity systems globally.

Coal/gas heat the earth
Solar/wind destabilize the grid
Balancing grids is critical for low carbon, climate impact
Load management and storage for grid balance have not scaled
Grid growth investments over two decades will be in USD tens of trillions: need innovation

Groundwater is depleting fast with social impact now existential.

Urgent innovation is needed to address unsustainable groundwater use, as costly solutions and limited budgets fail to meet agricultural demands.

80% consumed by agriculture
Available solutions (drip irrigation, solar pumpsets, etc.): very expensive
Funds needed are over national budgets: above innovation

A Global EnergyNet

is the future.

Today’s global electricity grid is the largest, most complex, and most critical machine in the world. It provides us with power, water, food, habitation, healthcare, information, work, and entertainment – and energy for almost everything else we use or do. With the increasing electrification of transport, heating, and cooking, with the rapid ramp of energy-hungry data centers for generative AI applications, and with our increasing incomes, the use of electricity is rising rapidly. As renewables (needed for climate control) destabilize the grid, to balance the electricity grid we are deploying millions of distributed generation, storage, microgrid, and smart devices… an ‘EnergyNet’ that will change our lives profoundly, as the Internet did in the last century.

Omni Plan Utility ensures the client’s electrical systems and goals/options/constraints are understood, and that the proposal made for and executed with the client is optimal in value added and cost efficiency.

inGeniti Easy SE (Smart Electrification) is a solution to enable increased electrification (adding electric
devices such as EV chargers, E-stoves, electric water heaters, etc.) to consumers’ service points without
incurring either the very high cost of service point capacity upgrade, or the high cost of smart panel
purchase and retrofit. Easy SE does not even require cutting any wires or access any electrical devices, and
it provides far better capabilities and flexibility than that of a smart panel or service point upgrade. Easy
SE and is easy to deploy across many consumers, thus growing the grid’s electric capacity without any upgrade.

inGeniti Easy EE (Energy Efficiency) is a solution to convert consumers’ legacy electric devices anywhere
into energy efficient smart devices. It allows the utility to track the migration to efficient energy devices
and the energy savings they enable. It also provides consumers a unified way to manage (protect, locate,
monitor each 5 minutes, report on, control, schedule, automate & optimize) any group of legacy/smart
devices via a single application. It saves the costly funding of upgrades to efficient devices. Easy EE delivers
25-50% savings of energy, cost & carbon emission on heating/cooling/pumping devices – by intelligent
algorithms that avoid consumer discomfort. Easy EE is easy to roll out in bulk at low cost, with big savings.

inGeniti Easy DR (Demand Response) is a solution to monitor & control of aggregated consumer electrical
devices for an electricity utility/aggregator/retailer to shave peak demand without user discomfort. Each
MW of peak load for a utility requires $2m – $3m of generation/transmission/distribution capex to service
and takes years to make available. Easy DR enables the same peak load shaving in a small fraction of the
cost and time, with none of the consumer inconvenience that plague DR programs, and with consumers
welcoming the DR actions by inGeniti’s solution due to their large energy bill savings with no discomfort.
Easy DR is relatively easy to deploy and use, and it enables a globally superior DSM capability.

inGeniti VPP (Virtual Power Plant) is a solution to aggregate and control a group of decentralized consumer load, storage & generation resourcesfor an electricity utility/aggregator/retailer/consumer, to create and deliver a system that can optimize energy costs, maximize energy sale revenues, and balance energy grids. A VPP can achieve these by ramping up or down the decentralized energy generation, storage, supply and consumption (the latter via Optima), and the energy buy-from and sell-back-to the external grid in nearreal-time. Easy VPP is relatively easy to deploy and use, and it enables a globally superior VPP capability.

inGeniti Easy GO (Grid Optimizations) is a group of related solutions to aggregate, monitor and control decentralized consumer load and storage resources to provide ancillary services to the electricity grid, i.e. the utility. Examples of ancillary services are: (a) Enhanced Renewables Integration and Improved Power Stability/Cost, (b) Reduced Deviation Penalties & Expensive Spot Purchases, (c) Reduced Cost of Real Time Purchases, (d) Preventative Assets Maintenance & Capex Avoidance, (d) Enhanced Storage Flexibility & Returns. Based on inGeniti’s Optima and Omni Grid solutions, Easy GO is relatively easy to deploy and use, and it enables globally superior ancillary services capabilities.

inGeniti Easy PD (Precise Disaggregation) is a solution to enable very precise extraction of per-electricaldevice energy use from service point meter data, that is aggregate energy use in 15-minute slots by all the electrical devices in that service point. Currently, such energy disaggregation is done by using machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms that analyze meter data of many consumers to estimate perelectrical-device energy use. This is inaccurate as the data for analysis is highly granular (sums all devices each 15 minutes). Easy PD make disaggregation extremely accurate by training it with much richer data.

inGeniti Easy Farm (Agri, Water & Rural Transformation) is a solution is recommended for utilities and for governments that have large farming activities/populations, or areas with excess groundwater extraction, or major grid capacity/cost/subsidy associated with pumping of water for farming. Easy Farm automates 90% of farming (daily, accurate crop watering), avoids excess water pumping, and reduces ground water depletion. This increases farmers’ profitability and frees up their time for other endeavors, enabling rural transformation. Easy Farm is easy to deploy and use, and it enables a globally unique agriculture capability.
