C.E.S. Monitoring and Control Software (CMCS)

The CMCS integrates smoothly with ESP back office infrastructure and applications.

The CMCS enables real-time management of, and communication with, groups of CSDPs to provide status, power consumption, and costs. Energy solution providers (ESPs) such as electric utilities, energy retailers and building managers can use the CMCS to improve efficiency, reduce peak demand, and offer value-added services.

The modular software aggregates data from multiple or groups of CSDPs for centralized management and reporting.

  • The core module facilitates data transfer to and from the CSDPs. “Layered” above are business applications such as system administration, setup, monitoring and control, reporting, and more.
  • Other interfaces enable connectivity with management infrastructure and back office applications for smooth integration with the ESP maintenance, customer service, CRM, and billing software.
  • Scalable communication. The C.E.S. solution architecture was designed to ensure scalability by minimizing the amount of data transferred between the CSDPs and the servers, using sophisticated algorithms combined with the efficient CSDP data-logging.

The CMCS utilizes a two-way communication channel to remotely manage and control multiple CSDP installations. The communication channel enables the ESP to activate time-based price incentives, conduct remote diagnostics/maintenance, and send periodic reports.

Better communication between the CSDPs and the grid management center improves grid reliability.

The robust architecture ensures the accuracy of the aggregated consumption pattern perceived at the supplier's management center, thereby enabling it to respond effectively to demand trends in real time.

The CMCS provides scalable real time concurrent monitoring and control of multiple end-user CSDPs without overloading energy provider back-end systems.
