The basic concept of iQT Electrical Grid is to add monitoring, analysis, control and communication capabilities to the national electricity delivery system. This, in turn, can maximize the output of equipment, help utilities lower cost, improve reliability, decrease interruptions, and reduce energy consumption. The time-of-use rate encourages you to use energy when the demand is low by giving you a lower price of electricity during those time.

With iQT Water Grid you can remotely monitor the water consumption. Smart water meter provides over-the-web reading transmission via long-range wide area network (LoRAWAN). High autonomy provided by 10 years of battery life of the sensors. The sensor waits for water to flow, collect the data, and send it to iQT Manager of the service provider. The meter has an integral filtration strainer to stop large particles and has a security/tamper evident wire lock & seal. The meter also quickly identify leaks which allows preventing substantial water losses or property damages.

The smart gas grid concept is based on maximizing the efficiency of overall energy usage by taking full advantage of all the opportunities that gas and the gas grid can offer and take society through the lowest cost and least disruptive energy transition possible. Data exchange could be treated the same as for the electricity and water grid. The highly sensitive leak detection sensor is embedded into the meter which detects minute leaks to prevent it from any accidents.

iQT GRID COMPONENTS INCLUDE
Smart Meter
A Smart meter is an electrical meter that records consumption of electric energy in intervals of an hour or less. Transmit this information back to the energy provider to track the energy consumption and automatically throttle down energy consumption on a granular level demand gets too high.
Phasor Measurement Unit
Synchrophasors are time-synchronized numbers that represent both the magnitude and phase angle of the sine waves found in electricity and are time-synchronized for accuracy. They are measured by high-speed monitors called Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) that are 100 times faster than SCADA.
The Smart Home
The smart home represents the convergence of energy efficient, controllable appliances and real-time access to energy usage data. This integration of smart devices and smart grid enables customers to proactively manage energy use in ways that are convenient, cost-effective, and good for the environment.
Distribution Intelligence
A key component of distribution intelligence is outage detection and response. Along with smart meters, distribution intelligence can quickly pinpoint the source of a power outage and send repair crews immediately to the problem area.With sensors when parts of the distribution System have lost power, the automated switching with an intelligent System can reroute the power to customers within a seconds.
Operation Centers
Power flows through the transmission System along the path of least resistance, finding multiple paths between the power plants and the cities that are demanding the power. The Grid Operator makes sure that as much power is being generated as is being used—if not, the grid's voltage could drop, causing the grid to become unstable. The Smart Grid add new capabilities for measurement and control of the transmission System which make the grid much more reliable and minimize the possibility of widespread blackouts.
iQT Grid App
This app gives us the platform to manage and control power, water, gas in the Smart Home. Through this app, we can access the current Smart meter reading and have the control over the IoT devices that are connected to the socket. This app gives the information that which device is using more power, so use those devices when electricity price is low.
