⚡ UK ENERGY ⚡

📌 Overview

UK Energy is a Government of Uttarakhand initiative aimed at creating a comprehensive geospatial and data-driven platform for the state's power infrastructure. It brings together real-time mapping, AI-powered queries, and structured datasets of solar and hydro energy installations across the region. The platform helps decision-makers, planners, and engineers view and manage data more effectively.

🔥 What’s New (2025 Release)

• ✅ Live Data Integration via Firebase: All datasets are now fetched dynamically from Firestore, replacing static files.
• ✅ Secure Admin Dashboard: Authorized admins can add/update plant data in real-time via Firebase-linked UI.
• ✅ Offline-First Caching: Local caching using Hive Boxes enables instant data access and offline support.
• ✅ Firebase Caching Strategy: Optimized read/write operations to reduce quota usage and improve speed.
• ✅ Real-Time Chat & Data Sync: Gemini chatbot reflects real-time changes and stays in sync with app state.
• ✅ Contextual Chat Memory: The chatbot maintains query context for more natural conversation flow.
• ✅ Clean & Efficient Codebase: Flutter code refactored for performance, modularity, and future scale.

🚀 Project Highlights

• 🔋 Database of 100+ generation sites, 300+ substations, 60+ solar plants, and 400+ distribution points.
• 🗺️ Dynamic map integration with Flutter Map and Static Google Map Tiles.
• 🤖 Embedded Gemini-powered chatbot for intelligent, context-aware user queries.
• 📄 Supports both in-app maps and official PDF map overlays.
• 🌦️ Weather integration using MOSDAC forecasting.

🛠️ Tech Stack

💬 AI Chatbot (Gemini-Powered)

The chatbot performs:

• Intent detection through user queries
• Data filtering via your structured Map
• Dynamic responses based on your dataset

Sample Queries Supported:

• "What is the capacity of Solar Plant A?"
• "Where is Solar Plant B located?"
• "List all substations in Dehradun."
• "Which district does Plant X belong to?"

No external or hallucinated responses — answers are tightly scoped to your internal dataset.

📍 Map Layering

• 🗺️ Flutter Map for tile rendering
• Supports:
  • 🔎 Static fallback maps
  • 🔄 Vector/Raster tiles
  • 🔘 Marker clustering
  • 🔧 Dynamic zoom
  • 📍 Geo-referencing features
• Google Static Maps API used for simplified previewing

📐 Dataset Format

Now dynamically fetched from Firebase Firestore and cached locally using Hive Boxes for offline access:

[
    {
        "Name": "Plant A",
        "District": "Dehradun",
        "Capacity": "120",
        "Latitude": "30.3165",
        "Longitude": "78.0322",
        "Division": "North",
        "Plant Address": "XYZ Road",
        "Registered Address": "ABC Colony"
    }
    ]

This structured dataset powers the map layers and is also used by the AI chatbot for accurate responses.

🔐 Security

• This application is private and not open-source.
• Firebase Auth is used for role-based admin access and secure login.
• Firestore security rules protect unauthorized data access and updates.
• API keys and sensitive logic remain strictly within the development environment.
• Hive-based caching ensures data remains locally available without network dependency.

📈 Future Enhancements

• IoT integration for real-time monitoring
• Role-based access control
• Performance analytics for plants
