How SkyElectric Uses ScyllaDB to Power Its Smart Energy Platform

SkyElectric is addressing Pakistan's energy challenges by implementing a Smart Energy System that combines solar hybrid inverters, grid interconnects, and lithium-ion batteries to provide a reliable power supply, particularly in rural areas affected by frequent power cuts. This system is managed through a cloud platform utilizing ScyllaDB for efficient data handling, enabling real-time monitoring and AI-driven energy management via their SmartFlow solution. Initially, the backend faced scalability issues, which were resolved by transitioning to a robust architecture employing ScyllaDB, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch, enhancing performance and scalability. The shift to ScyllaDB, chosen for its C++ foundation and superior resource utilization, has allowed SkyElectric to manage vast amounts of data seamlessly, reducing latencies and enabling the company to expand its operations confidently. The system's efficient management ensures high power availability at low costs, contributing to reducing CO2 emissions and supporting Pakistan's goal to increase renewable energy usage significantly by 2030.
