Project Overview

Ezinore recently completed the deployment of a Smart Hybrid Solar + Storage Pilot at the North Campus for Energy & Efficiency Technology (NCEET), Delhi Technological University.

                        Location: New Delhi, India

                        Segment: Institutional / Academic Campus

The project serves as a "Living Lab" for students while providing critical power reliability to laboratory systems.

The Energy Challenge

Prior to the pilot, DTU faced several structural challenges common across universities and government institutions.

Intermittent Grid Availability: Frequent power fluctuations affecting sensitive lab equipment.
Diesel Dependence: Relying on expensive and polluting diesel generators during outages.
Inefficient Solar Use: Underutilization of available solar power during peak generation.
Lack of Visibility: No centralized monitoring or intelligence layer to track performance.

Approach & Execution

Our Approach

Detailed site survey and load profiling.
Identification of critical vs non-critical loads.
Solar generation potential assessment.
Battery sizing based on usage patterns.

Execution Excellence

Installation completed within a short deployment window.
Seamless integration with existing electrical infrastructure.
Minimal disruption to campus operations.

                Key Execution Success Factors: Accurate energy audit and sizing, modular system design,
                pre-configured Sparko logic, and rapid commissioning/testing.
            

Why the Hybrid Solution Succeeded

Treating energy as an intelligent system, not a collection of isolated components.

1. Hybrid-by-Design Architecture

Solar, battery, and grid were designed to operate together from day one, enabling seamless energy flow and resilience.

2. Sparko-Led Decision Making

The Ezinore Sparko continuously analyzed real-time data to decide the most efficient energy source at every moment.

3. Right-Sized Storage

Battery capacity was optimized based on real institutional load behavior, not generic assumptions.

4. Load Prioritization Logic

Critical academic and operational loads were always protected during outages through intelligent switching.

5. Modular & Scalable Design

The pilot system was designed as a building block for future campus-wide expansion.

6. Minimal Operational Complexity

Once deployed, the system behaves as an adaptive energy asset requiring no specialized manpower to operate.

Smart Sparko & Monitoring

The Ezinore Sparko (Energy Management System) is the brain of the installation, providing cloud-connected intelligence.

Real-time monitoring of solar, battery, load, and grid.
