ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications (MoIT) is in the process of developing a self-managing energy system (SES), which will be capable of conserving electricity in buildings. The system will take information about priorities and constraints from consumers and will optimise energy usage. “If alternative sources of energy such as solar cells, wind energy or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles are available, then SES will be able to incorporate it seamlessly into the system,” a source said. The system, being developed at a cost of Rs12.95 million under a project called Self-Managing Energy Systems in Buildings, is near completion. The National ICT Research and Development Fund and Lahore University of Management Sciences (Lums) are jointly working on the project. SES will also develop a localised low-cost Home Area Network for controlling heavy-duty electrical appliances for energy conservation.
