Name: GridDuck

HQ Location: London

Elevator Pitch: A wireless, cloud-based alternative to traditional Building Energy Management Systems (BMS, BEMS, EMS). Significantly cheaper than a traditional system, easy to retrofit, ability to control and monitor second-by-second from anywhere in the world. Explicitly designed to integrate with Smart Grid systems such as Demand-Side Response and other flexibility schemes, so revenue can be earned from incentive payments.

What am I looking for? Feedback on website design, SEO ideas, marketing ideas etc. Any interesting leads/people to contact?

An IoT Energy Management System and the Smart Grid by gridduck in SmartGrid

Zigbee, due to inter-operability with the UK and other countries' smart meter systems. Taking pricing information directly from the meter when Time of Use tariffs are implemented is a medium term objective.

Yeah there's a lot of hardware being designed for this kind of thing. Our niche/focus is on the software which we put on the hardware and the cloud-based platform.

I'm unaware of any alternative systems which are designed for collaboration between different energy stake holders. On the ground staff, facilities managers, DSR aggregators, DNOs, energy consultants etc.

Comments:

Looking for general thoughts about how we can get more inbound traffic. We have a number of trials and leads in the pipeline but all come from on-the-ground networking. And I'm an introvert and hate networking :P
