Eregie - The Stable Energy Community
A stable energy community is only possible when the control and ownership of the digital system (Digital Twin) lies with the community. The digital system (DT) that controls the energy management systems (EMS) on company level and locally strives for the best solution energetically, by simultaneously matching supply and demand locally and aligning generation, storage and conversion so that transport over the grid operator’s infrastructure is minimized and maximum use is made of local sustainable sources.
Our mission
Our mission is to organize, create and build a stable local energy communities for Industrial Parks, Villages and inner Cities, together with Entrepreneurs and Citizens. We provide a Method and a Software Tool for the local community to control the local energy flows. The Software Tool will be owned and controlled by the community. With the Tool the community can be self-sufficient for their energy demand and supply. By realizing a local smart energy grid, maximizing local produced sustainable energy and minimizing transport of energy by Energy network company’s the community also helps to solve the problems of congestion on the regional and national energy networks.
Result:
“The local Energy Community and all their members will be highly independent for their Power demand form the National Grid when there is a disturbance in the power supply.”
What is a Digital Twin?
A Digital Twin, also called a digital twin, is a virtual representation of the real world, including physical objects, processes, relationships and behaviors. A Digital Twin is always an abstraction or model of reality. GIS is rooted in geography, where location underlies the integration of all kinds of data. GIS helps us map our world, thus creating a Digital Twin of our environment. By putting objects in context and establishing relationships in a Digital Twin, they help solve business issues faster.
GIS technology connects different data and systems based on geographic location to create a single view that can be accessed throughout the life cycle of a project. GIS improves data acquisition, integration, provides better visualization in real time, provides advanced analysis and automation to make predictions, and enables information sharing and collaboration with others. Consider linking with sensors that display the status of an asset to improve the maintenance process.
What is the difference between BIM and Digital Twin?
When you hear the terms, “Building Information Model (BIM)” and “Digital Twin Technology” may sound very similar. A building information model, better known as BIM, is a digital model of an existing and/or planned construction, made up of objects linked to information. BIM is important for connecting information between stakeholders on a construction site but falls short in demonstrating value throughout the lifecycle of a project. BIM helps shape a clear project vision before design or construction, but for ongoing value, collaborative data models and real-time insights are needed.
Digital twins are extremely useful by using BIM data to show detailed representations of objects and systems. They provide insights into performance, track their history, and integrate project data with current performance information. Digital twins are rapidly gaining popularity by combining IoT sensors, 3D CAD files, and augmented reality. They enable predictive maintenance by continuously feeding data. Sensors monitor equipment at the component level, allowing for accurate predictions of failures

Who is the key users of Digital Twin?
Industrial park managers and businesses
Digital Twin helps them optimize energy usage to reduce costs and improve sustainability. By providing access to reliable, locally sourced energy, it minimizes risks associated with grid disruptions. Additionally, the platform supports companies in achieving their corporate sustainability objectives by enabling the use of clean, local energy. Finally, it stabilizes energy expenses through community-driven energy solutions and direct trading options, ensuring more predictable and efficient energy management.
Residents and communities in living areas
Digital Twin offering more control over energy supply while reducing dependency on external providers. It enables users to benefit from lower energy costs through local production and peer-to-peer trading. By participating, communities contribute to a sustainable, energy-neutral neighborhood while supporting local producers. Additionally, the platform ensures a stable and resilient energy supply that prioritizes the needs of the community.
