NeuroTech recently won the 2023 Zayed Sustainability Prize for its smart energy management system that uses Al-based algorithms and blockchain-based transactions to deliver 24-hour electricity access.The Azraq refugee camp in Jordan established in 2014 for Syrian refugees faced regular power outages and unreliable access to electricity – a situation that afflicts most refugee camps around the world.
“The electricity system in Azraq was failing. It was not providing lighting at night to allow children to study, and it was not powering the nebulizers and other medical devices critically needed during the COVID-19 pandemic to help children and adults breathe,” Asa’d said. Their smart system redistributes energy in the following way: the first energy feeder is dedicated to high priority loads, such as medical devices, lighting and refrigeration, while the second is dedicated to low priority loads, such as air conditioning, fans and electric heaters. The energy feeder limits are defined based on a smart algorithm.
“Our solution is designed with humanitarian aspects in mind. And not only that, but also beneficiaries are involved in the design process for the first time ever, which is something still unavailable in our markets,” Asa’d said. NeuroTech’s system is especially convenient for non-governmental organizations and funding agencies that aid the camp. That’s because NeuroTech’s smart energy management system helps reduce the camp’s overall energy consumption by storing excess electricity that was previously wasted and feeding it where it is needed most at peak demand times.
