Energosfera® software package can be applied to implement different types of energy resources smart metering systems:
Smart metering systems (SM system) is designed for providing fiscal and technical metering of various types of energy resources for economic entities: large enterprises and factories, housing and utility management companies, etc.
SM system based on Energosfera® software package (Fig. 1) ensures metering and control of produced, distributed and consumed electricity and heat, cold and hot water, various gaseous carriers, fuel oil, etc. The system performs automated data acquisition from metering units, data processing and long-term storage in the data base, calculations, generation of reporting documents, transmission of prepared data to support reporting and planning functions activities of the company; it reflects metering data in different forms – mnemonics, tables, graphs and logs.
Thanks to application of Energosfera® software package for creating the SM system and its subsequent integration with dispatching, monitoring and control systems of the company (MES, EAM, ERP), it is possible to find integrated solutions for a number of typical energy management tasks:
Experience has shown that the payback period of investments into the SM system ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 years, while integrated use of this system by companies reduces energy intensity of the production by 10-20 %.
