Full Product
The Enpulse product is a comprehensive system for electricity metering and control focused on increasing energy efficiency of SME objects. It is composed of: metering system at the user’s location, backend system (data collection and storage, algorithms), and frontend system for user interaction, visualization and energy tips’ view. The name Enpulse comes from energy pulse, as the the metering system feels the energy pulse of users’ electrical installations and this data stands as the cornerstone for all other operations in our products. The backend system is the brain which connects the sensors, algorithms and user interface. The user interface speaks to the user in understandable language, the end-user gains insight into his own electricity consumption per device, detail energy cost structure, future consumption and cost predictions, tips and tricks how to increase efficiency etc.
Metering hardware
The first step when using Enpulse is to install the current and voltage sensors and to connect them to the Smart Meter Box. Each phase has one voltage sensor which is connected directly on the phase wires and one current sensor which is connected non intrusively using current clamps (current transformer). For three phase supply, total of 3 current and 3 voltage sensors are required. Once installed, the Enpulse continuously reads the metering data and prepare it within our backend system for further usage by the users through user interface.
Backend Algorithms
The continuous measurements on high resolution must be adequately received, stored and prepared for internal algorithms and interface usage. Also, the internal algorithms must be stored and available for runs either continuously or on demand. These algorithms are the crown jewels of the Enpulse product as they transform the simple measurements in valuable assets for users. For example, users costs can be calculated during actual month or the alarms for breaching a certain power threshold can be activated. An AI identification algorithm can detect and identify the exact individual device in usage based on joint object metering data. The optimization algorithm can find the best choice and size for the purchase of new devices, PV plants, batteries etc. tailored on users consumption pattern.
User Interface
Once Enpulse has been installed, the users will only see and interact through user interface. The metering and backend systems can be forgotten. The user interface is designed to provide simple and intuitive understanding of users’ own the electrical behavior and costs. Each segment on the interface have an explanation of the view-at-hand and short guidelines what to observe. It will, however, also incorporate two other directions. For those who wants to educate themselves an additional educational material for each segment will be directly accessible. For those who wants to dwell deeper into certain graphs and curves, there will be the option for them to investigate further looking far into history and into wider pool of variables.
