This compact energy monitoring unit is for monitoring energy usage at commercial and industrial facilities such as factories, warehouses, retail stores, and office buildings. Connected to utility meters, plant equipment, and facility systems, it gathers real-time energy consumption and demand data, then delivers that data to enterprise business and control systems and Web-based applications for monitoring and analysis. In addition, the unit helps businesses take advantage of demand-response (DR) programs from their local utilities. In response to a request from the utility to reduce power use, the unit can signal electrical equipment to shed load. DR programs can provide revenue to businesses in three ways: first, from discounts for simply agreeing to shed load; second, from actual reductions in use; and third, from selling electricity back to the utility or energy provider. The unit is available in two models, one for use on both wireless and wired Ethernet networks, and one for use on wired Ethernet networks only. It communicates over a standard 10/100 Mbps wired Ethernet network, over an 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN (local area network), or over both simultaneously. If wireless connectivity isn't required, it communicates over a standard 10/100 Mbps wired Ethernet network.
