Stockholm Royal Seaport - Ericsson - Sweden

Stockholm Royal Seaport - Ericsson builds homes that use energy-efficient technology and are equipped with appliances that enable residents to monitor and control their energy usage. The objective of this activity is to develop and demonstrate smarter ways of managing energy and to reduce the total energy requirement for households.

Fast facts:

This activity helps move 5-15% of electricity usage from high load hours to low load hours;
CO2 emissions are reduced from 633 kilograms per household per year to 436 kilograms per household per year.

The problem

Electricity usage in all types of households all over the world needs to be addressed.

The solution

This activity helps residents reduce their energy consumption using screens that show environmental factors and energy pricing. Appliances such as washing machines and dryers can be programmed to run at optimal times to minimize climate impacts and save on energy costs. Electric vehicle charging will also be included, as well as hot water usage and apartment heating measurements. Buildings will have solar panels that contribute to the positive energy view of the buildings. This activity uses an energy management system, Ericsson’s cloud-based Service Enablement Platform.

Helping the planet

The energy optimization for the households will help reduce personal energy bills and the environmental impact of their energy usage. It will support energy security everyone connected to the same electricity grid.

Helping people

This activity wants everyone to have access to their energy consumption visualization method, including families, women, the disabled, the elderly and children.

Scaling Up

The cloud-based Service Enablement Platform, the smart appliances as well as the smart grid technology, can be deployed anywhere in the world where smart grids are developed. The platform can also be deployed in housing that has already been built.
