Smart energy refers to the use of advanced technologies and systems to optimize energy production, distribution, and consumption. Here are some key aspects:
Energy Efficiency: Utilizing devices and systems that enhance energy efficiency, reducing waste and lowering costs 1.
Renewable Energy Sources: Integrating renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and natural gas to promote sustainability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels 1.
Smart Grids: Implementing smart grid technology that allows for two-way communication between utility providers and consumers, improving the reliability and efficiency of energy distribution 2.
Data Analytics: Using data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to monitor and manage energy usage, predict demand, and optimize resource allocation 3.
IoT Integration: Incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices to provide real-time data and control over energy systems 3.
Smart energy systems aim to create a more sustainable, efficient, and resilient energy infrastructure, benefiting both consumers and the environment.
Poole (/puːl/ (audio speaker iconlisten)) is a large coastal town and seaport in Dorset, on the south coast of England. The town is 21 miles (34 km) east of Dorchester and adjoins Bournemouth to the east. Since 1 April 2019, the local authority is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council which is a unitary authority. Poole had an estimated population of 151,500 (mid-2016 census estimates) making it the second-largest town in the ceremonial county of Dorset. Together with Bournemouth and Christchurch, the conurbation has a total population of nearly 400,000.
Human settlement in the area dates back to before the Iron Age. The earliest recorded use of the town's name was in the 12th century when the town began to emerge as an important port, prospering with the introduction of the wool trade. Later, the town had important trade links with North America and, at its peak during the 18th century, it was one of the busiest ports in Britain. In the Second World War, Poole was one of the main departing points for the Normandy landings.
Poole is a tourist resort, attracting visitors with its large natural harbour, history, the Lighthouse arts centre and Blue Flag beaches. The town has a commercial port with cross-Channel freight and passenger ferry services, which connect with the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey, as well as the French port town of Saint-Malo, Brittany.
The headquarters of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is in Poole, and the Royal Marines have a base in the town's harbour. Despite their names, Poole is the home of The Arts University Bournemouth, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and a significant part of Bournemouth University.
