One major challenge with decarbonization of industrial heat is converting the variability of renewable energy into the reliability required by process plants. Solar panels only generate energy when the sun is out, and wind turbines generate energy when the wind blows. Industry, however, has a consistent and persistent need for energy. Graphite Energy, based in Australia, recognized this disconnect and set out to create a solution to it.

Time series data differs from “normal” data in an interesting way. The essential characteristic is that the data’s primary point of reference is a timestamp showing at which point in time a sample of data was measured. Time series databases like InfluxDB are helpful for situations that involve this kind of data.
