Companies and institutions are joining forces for the development of smart cities to give rise to meetings and business at an international level.

The original concept of smart cities refers to cities whose urban development is based on the principle of sustainability and their ability to improve the lives of their inhabitants and provide companies, organizations and public administrations with everything they need at all possible levels: not only economic, but also environmental and mobility.

Rudolf Giffinger, is a renowned expert in urban development and professor at the Department of Spatial Development, Infrastructure and Environmental Planning at the Technische Universität Wien, Vienna, Austria. His research focuses mainly on intra-urban development, urban decay, metropolitan segregation/integration, as well as urban and metropolitan competitiveness of cities and their growth and future strategies. Giffinger defines smart cities in terms of six criteria: economy, mobility, environment, administration, way of life and also their habitants. They can also be distinguished because they are the six main sectors in which governments and private companies exploit the business of data and services with their smart solutions on a daily basis.

The leverage for a breakthrough towards true smart cities is the effort of large entities to provide open and transparent information to their inhabitants. In many of these cases, local governments provide access to relevant economic data: employability, investments, economic results of public companies, government contracts... And in almost all of them, this information can be processed by third parties through the use of open APIs.

Projects at the European level

At the European level there are currently several really interesting mixed projects on the Internet of Things and smart city design and using artificial intelligence . European institutions and private companies team up to create environments for the use of open APIs with free to use information and business opportunities.

Local governments and research institutions use APIs to aggregate complex data and make it available for other researchers or private citizens to utilize it for the public good. Low-latency API infrastructure makes it possible for smart city experts to collect and share massive amounts of data with their team and other stakeholders.

Why Smart Cities Matter

According to the UN estimates, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. As cities grow, public systems such as utilities, housing and transportation are strained, underscoring the need for data-backed infrastructure to serve more people. Access to datasets is essential for community leaders and other smart city stakeholders, such as research institutions, entrepreneurs and advocacy groups, to make informed decisions and build collaborative projects across sectors.

How digitalization would support the renewable energy for?

When it comes to the topic of digitalisation in the energy sector we think of smart meters. This is a digital update of your electricity meter at home, that sends real time data back to your meter operator in order to save energy and money for the consumer.

A similar experience can be observed in renewable energy production. Most wind turbines and solar panels, including those on a residential level, installed today are connected to the internet. So, the owner can view production in real time. This is especially useful for renewable energy generation as it is volatile, and therefore more interesting to follow it in real time than, let’s say a traditional baseload power plant.

Greeneum API Services

Along with APIs, we're going to be launching impact projects in Africa and Latin America. We are currently being contacted by people from all over the world with projects that we definitely want to be part of and take action to support, so we see ourselves growing on that side as well.

Greeneum offers producers the following services through the API:

Ø Collect and validate the green energy produced

Ø Automatic generation of Greeneum certificates and carbon credits

Ø Prediction of energy generation and consumption

Ø Information on future green energy demand and supply in real time

Ø Optimization of energy storage resources

Ø Prevention of PV-related failures in grids

Ø Validation of off-grid solar energy resources.

Ø Recomensationa insights and alerts

Greeneum's intention is to bring the latest technology to the conservative energy market and incentivize green energy. Our GREEN tokens, Greeneum certificates, APIs and marketplace are something that will change the energy market from a centralized one to a democratic one. We distribute GREEN tokens to our network members: solar providers with API and who want SaaS services for their microgrids

Green token is given to renewable energy projects owners for connecting to the Greeneum network. It is the main token used for all transactions on the Greeneum platform, born with the idea of creating a form of monetization equally committed to our values of environmental care and consumer awareness.
