About

INNORA accelerates the application of innovative solutions from research field to the Energy Sector.

Solution & Product

INNORA’s solutions include: - Software development of real time energy applications, used in any scale of electrical distributions. - The performance of specialized studies and measurements in the electrical network and in industrial installations and buildings. - The transfer of research results to specialized staff by organizing and conducting workshops-seminars. - The development of a hybrid platform for the decentralized monitor and control of industrial and tertiary consumers/self-producers, including but not limited to electric vehicle charging stations, micro-networks of industry-building complexes etc. - The development of a service solution for the energy providers, for the remote monitor and control of the energy production of tertiary and industrial prosumers, optimizing their net-metering operations through load and weather forecasting with each provider's demand management policies. - Development of a system for certification provision of home automation products (e.g. KNX).

Innovation & Scalability

INNORA was established as a Spinoff of the University of Western Macedonia. INNORA can offer innovative and revolutionary services for effective energy management to the electricity grid, to the electric vehicles charging station networks, to the buildings and industry and to the Renewable Energy Sources and energy storage facilities. The aim of the company is to exploit the UoWM research results, to develop new applications in the energy field, to participate in research and innovation projects, to organize specialized educational projects for the enterprises personnel. INNORA aims also to cooperate with electricity grid operators, with energy producing companies (renewable or conventional), with electromobility companies, with universities and research organizations in general and with municipalities and public authorities in Greece and worldwide. The company's innovative solutions cover a wide range of energy applications, which are being developed through the long-term involvement of its team members in the energy sector, though their participation in research projects and also through the implementation of large-scale energy projects, mainly for industrial consumers. The competition provides single targeted solutions, each for separate distinct requirements at the energy market, rather than the holistic approach of INNORA’s integrated applications.
