Iranian Technologies Bringing Electricity Back to Homes
WANA (Jul 31) – In recent years, Iran has faced significant electricity shortages that have affected both daily life and industry. However, homegrown technologies have not only reduced electricity consumption but also improved the quality of power supply. Here are some notable examples:
Reducing Household Electricity Consumption with AI
A knowledge-based company has developed a smart device installed in household fuse boxes that monitors real-time electricity usage. By analyzing data, it provides users with optimized consumption patterns. This AI-powered system has proven effective in lowering annual electricity consumption.
Preventing Energy Loss with Nano Insulation
Iranian-made nanocomposite insulation can prevent up to 70% of energy loss in heating and cooling pipes. It improves the efficiency of equipment—for example, insulated boiler rooms run less frequently, drastically reducing energy use.
From Air Pollution to Urban Blackouts in Iran
WANA (Nov 26) – In recent years, major cities in Iran, such as Tehran, Isfahan, and Karaj, have been grappling with air pollution, which worsens as the weather gets colder. This issue has now extended beyond large cities to smaller towns, with Tehran, the capital of Iran, being ranked the fourth most polluted city in […]
Predicting and Preventing Blackouts with AI
Power management in Iran faces challenges such as avoiding widespread outages and balancing supply and demand. AI enables real-time monitoring of power plants to detect signs of equipment failure and schedule timely maintenance.
A pilot project was launched at the Shariati Combined Cycle Power Plant in Mashhad, where a smart monitoring center was inaugurated. This system processes 50,000 data points per second, helps identify issues early, extends equipment lifespan, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances predictability.
Power Generation with Nuclear Technology
The Bushehr nuclear power plant, with a capacity of 1,000 megawatts, has generated over 70 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. This technology produces stable, carbon-free electricity and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
Iran’s Nano Bubble Tech: Challenges to Opportunities
WANA (July 24) – Nanobubble technology, a fantastic innovation in science, has taken a big step in solving various challenges in various industries and fields. Currently, only three countries produce nanobubbles, including Japan, Iran, and America. Iran has 13 active companies at different levels in the field of nanobubbles. Nanobubbles are gas-filled bubbles within […]
Cutting Energy Use by 50% with Nanobubbles
Nanobubble technology in wastewater treatment plants has halved energy consumption. It has been successfully implemented in treatment facilities in Gheytarieh, Takestan, Saveh, Yazd, and Zanjan.
Expanding Solar Panel Use
Given Iran’s high solar potential, the use of solar panels is on the rise. They are being installed in homes and government buildings, reducing electricity consumption and dependence on fossil fuels. According to a recent government mandate, solar panels must now be installed on all government buildings in Tehran.
