picoChain™
At the core of what we do at Dig.y.SoL is picoChain™. It is a compact oversight platform capable of running in a high-end microcontroller footprint. Yet, it can contain deep understanding of a machine, device, or process under oversight.
It is based on the well-established Actors model of computation. But, this platform focuses on the essence of what makes the Actors model run.
picoChain™ consists of 2 parts:
- a model that describes a set components and their interactions that make up a machine, device, or process.
- a model inferencing core which continually takes incoming information relevant to the model and operates the model to verify the operation of its associated device or enable its associated process.
EV.Re™
$2.7 trillion. $135 billion per year.
This is one estimate of the required global infrastructure upgrades needed to cope with the transition to electric vehicles over the next 2 decades.
This evolutionary, global transition in personal, public, and freight transportation towards electric vehicles is a established fact. But, how can one cope?
Our lifestyles and work life have become one where on-demand , “here-and-now”, fulfillment of requests has become the norm. So too will be electric vehicle charging.
As global power suppliers adjust to an ever-evolving demand wave, there is need for a system to intelligently manage on-demand charging stemming from an ever-growing number of electric vehicles without disrupting critical daily power supply.
EV.Re™, a picoChain™ derivative, takes into account the dynamic nature of power demand in a constrained grid environment. It is an embedded, intelligent, secure distributed system that automatically balances available grid resources against on-demand charging requests from individual electric vehicles.
EV.Re™ consists of 3 components:
- a device on board an electric vehicle that retrieves and “negotiates” an on-demand charging schedule with the power supplier,
- a charging monitor software component residing at a grid site that reviews a charge request and communicates a “negotiated” charging schedule to the charging site device,
- a simple blockchain tracker refining the “negotiation” process over time.
