! ?; h4 p% O( T. ]素有「產業創新奧斯卡獎(The Oscars of Invention-The Chicago Tribune)」美名的百大科技研發獎R&D 100 Award，2011年第49屆得獎名單於台北時間23日正式向全球公佈。財團法人資訊工業策進會獲選為2011年全球百大科技得獎單位！資策會今年首度以網路多媒體研究所研發之「In-Snergy(Internet Smart Energy)雲端智慧綠能管理系統」，在全球各項技術激烈角逐下脫穎而出，勇奪全球百大科技獎，讓台灣科技軟實力在世界發光發亮，受國際高度肯定。1 A! t; K5 {/ G3 f1 u

此次獲獎的In-Snergy，對一般消費者在日常生活中的節能省電，有很大的助益。我們可從幾家與資策會合作的業者，針對一般民眾的需求，所發展出的應用服務來了解。例如：導入資策會In-Snergy的業者新光保全曾表示，資策會此項節能應用平台，目前已進入試運轉階段，客戶端採用勝德國際研發的能源感知插座，及家用能源管理閘道器；後台使用資策會所開發的In-Snergy為架構；結合新光保全天天樂活網內「節能網」，提供客戶在電子保全服務的防盜感知器防護選項外，另一種新的電力監控服務。
另外，新光保全也和合作伙伴導入資策會的後端節能管理平台，來開拓市場商機。如結合電力管理系統及軟體後端管理平台的特點，共同推出具有節能管理概念的「電力節能保全」，未來保全服務中可增加「節能管理」項目。除以家庭用戶為主要族群外，另同步展開企業、廠辦、連鎖店、大賣場等用電量高的對象使用。
% B3 p2 l% J% r+ [1 C+ r' Q) _由於In-Snergy發揮在節能效益上相當大，因此，資策會表示，網路多媒體研究所開發的In-Snergy只是個開始，未來的研發方向將整合更多的應用，包括AMI智慧電表，以及應用在太陽能、再生能源、需量反應、及LED路燈照明等領域中。整體目標希望提供民眾能以「記錄用電」、「行為辨識」、「調控與提示」三步驟，真正達到「聰明用電」、「有感智慧」的境界。 @3 d) Q* Y5 {) b: k+ o
「想起十多年前一場電線走火意外，大火頓時吞噬高雄老家一、二樓透天厝的那一幕…」，資策會網路多媒體研究所主要負責研發 In-Snergy的莊棨(ㄑㄧˇ)椉(ㄔㄥˊ)組長內心還是相當激動，但卻也正因此埋下了他潛心研發「用電安全」領域前瞻技術的種子。根據內政部消防署統計，火災的成因有36%是來自電器發生短路或走火導致，係多數火災發生的最主要因素之一。此「雲端智慧綠能管理系統」係透過監控家中電器設備與雲端平台的整合，提供消費者隨時隨地透過智慧裝置掌握、查閱最即時的電力使用狀況、甚或提醒您關閉電源；換句話說，In-Snergy就像是中醫把脈一樣，24小時全年無休地幫您診斷、健檢電力使用狀況，並適時提出警訊，至於搭配裝置之一的電力計(iSocket)則就像是把脈器，藉由iSocket 量測電流的脈博，分析與辨識電力的使用與健康狀態。6 @9 E, L8 X8 M' Q8 g4 p

有鑑於台灣雖然一向以科技硬體揚名國際，但硬體業者卻始終脫離不了硬體產業的框架，資策會為強化軟硬體結合，利用以硬帶軟、以軟助硬的策略，實際提升國內硬體廠商之產品價值，希冀協助產業從Made in Taiwan邁入Service by Taiwan的品牌時代。透過此雲端平台整合不同產業，開創一新興智慧能源管理事業，吸引再生能源、零售業、照明設備產業等廠商加入，逐步擴大產業鏈的影響力。* @- v( z$ e4 D! b8 W9 i* W2 S
