The system includes .Net data collection and data exchange capabilities, web-based delivery of information products and integration with enterprise-wide information management systems.  View brochure.

Energy Data Management Centers

DR DAS has developed EnergyView, a tiered web application to meet the need to aggregate energy information from standard municipal, commercial, and industrial electric and gas meters, as well as monitor and dispatch standby generator capacity.  Providing current electric use and generation data, EnergyView assists an organization by maintaining its demand safely within contract limits and alerts operations personnel to the potential need to use standby power to shave peak demand.

A three-tier web application provides access to current and historical energy data. Over the organization's intranet, or the Internet, current use can be aggregated and viewed for all meters, meter groups or individual meters. Meter configurations and the most recent data collection status can be viewed.

The EnergyView EAIS system architecture is built on existing and proven component-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software technology. Extensive use is made of Microsoft's .Net Server technology. Push, rather than pull, technology is used in the EAIS system to rapidly transmit meters data to a central cluster server array where data is automatically aggregated and analyzed. The system scales easily, offering support for 1000's of meters physically distributed anywhere in the reach of the World Wide Web.

EnergyView Database - MS SQL Tables, Views and Procedures designed to host configuration data, readings and information products in support of energy monitoring programs. Data import and archival utilities are included. The Meter Manager application is included with the database as the GUI for network/database configuration.

EnergyView HMI - Energy use monitoring applications that need wide range of data collection and calculation ability will use SiteView HMI. SiteView HMI presents real-time views of data collection status, monitors values/conditions and generates alarms. Users can build their own displays with drill down features. This VB client application can "poll" data that CommServ has collected or communicate directly with other devices such as PLCs. OPC is supported. Calculations based on collected data are supported. Notification of faults via email is included.   ...more

EAIS Web Site - multi-tier ASP web application provides core database connectivity and data presentation capabilities. This application presents current and historical energy use in tabular and graphical formats. Use can be aggregated across the entire organization, departments, buildings or individual meters.
