Smart Grid Infrastructure
The Networked Energy Services System for Smart Metering
The smart grid is an energy network that provides grid intelligence — not just about the meter, but about the grid itself.
Everything that draws power from or contributes power to the grid is part of the smart grid. Smart grid solutions must be able to adapt to changing market and regulatory needs — by replacing today’s meters with smart meters that are really intelligent endpoints; by adding new edge devices that complement the new smart meters; and by connecting smarter devices that extend the smart grid beyond the meter.
Only the NES System can do this. The NES System accelerates the creation of new software-enabled services, is smart enough to help heal itself, and flexible and open enough to adapt to new business environments for decades to come.
The NES System
The NES System is a complete, software-driven system for metering, rather than simply a smart meter. The system resides in the grid itself, and offers advantages in power quality, service flexibility, and insight.
NES System Advantages
The NES System offers many advantages over meter-focused and a la carte smart metering solutions. These advantages stem from our system approach.
NES System Components
Our smart meters, data concentrators, and system software work together to meet the needs of the smart metering and AMI markets from the perspective of the grid, not just the meter.
