How it works
Five layers, each with one clear job: from the equipment on site to the network operator's control centre.
Architecture
From the device on site to the network control room.
Commercial, industrial and remote sites use the first three layers. The utility integration server and utility control centre are added for programmes run with an electricity company. Energy and fuel measurements also feed sustainability reporting.

Energy and fuel measurements also feed environmental impact reporting.
Two different jobs
Site energy management and grid coordination are not the same thing.
| Site energy management | Utility grid coordination | |
|---|---|---|
| Who uses it | The site owner or operator | The electricity company or authority |
| Main goal | Lower costs, better performance, sustainability | Network visibility, safety and capacity |
| Key components | Edge controller and management platform | Utility integration server and control centre |
| Required for every site? | Yes | Only in utility programmes |
