SIRIUS SGS

SIRIUS – SGS is a software and hardware platform for intelligent power systems connectible to Smart Grid, having at core the concept of Virtual Power Entity (VPE), connected to the Energy Web.

The VPE is an aggregation of energy producer(s) and /or energy consumer(s) which is informational augmented, optimizing the functionalities for which it was created – as a virtual producer, distributor, consumer or a combination of these. The VPEs are connected to the Power Grid and in the eWeb – an energy data mash of secure communication channels over internet.

SIRIUS – SGS is a distributed software package with many local instances and a central system all communicating mainly via web services. The distributed instances of SIRIUS may run on specific hardware boxes named SIRIUS Box with PC functionality, which collect data, control processes and report to the central SIRIUS System.

EDEN

EDEN is a package of software applications for acquisition, processing and reporting of energy data, supporting the energy business of suppliers and energy consumers.

EDEN is a versatile platform covering a wide range of applications of metering systems:

• entry-level small applications of up to 10 meters, usually for industrial consumers requiring the management of their energy consumption;
• medium size applications of up to 100 meters, for bigger industrial consumers and for energy supply companies which need the metering data for energy metering business;
• large size applications of 500 – 10.000 meters or more, for very big industrial consumers and energy supply companies.

The EDEN software package is developed on Windows platform with Open Source components like SQL database, PHP and Open Office. It has a scalable, logically and /or physically distributed architecture. With this architecture the customer can incrementally invest in his metering system starting from a basic system for his today needs and migrate later to a medium or largely scaled system when the business requires an increased metering infrastructure and functionality.

In complex applications a flexible architecture can be implemented with both distributed or concentrated servers, allowing parallel processing for an increased data stream.

ANSER

ANSER is a specialized package of applications for measuring, calculating and reporting the ancillary services delivered by energy producers (power plants) in the power networks.

ANSER is an important data infrastructure instrument that ensures the necessary information for the market activities related to ancillary services, by emphasizing the specific aspects, in a standardized approach, similar to power metering.

Services considered:

• f-P Secondary Control;
• Tertiary Reserve;
• U Secondary Control;
• Other ancillary services.
