Designing and realizing an energy management system means to be familiar with all the problems of the various plants and the main topics of the different tariff agreements. Our experience range over many fields including mini hydro power plants, distribution networks for all kinds of energy, field equipments, communication systems, software for remote stations, load coordination center and central supervision systems. Skillfulness in using, in a structural way, information coming from the acquisition and control systems is a basic factor for a success. We have, therefore, designed "open" systems able to satisfy the special needs of the factory organization:

• for the maintenance man or the process controller
• for the energy manager or the consultant
• for the general or the administration manager.

Our most important applications:

• monitoring systems for the production processess and for the distribution of all kinds of energy
• remote control systems
• electrical load coordination and control systems
• telemetering systems and mini hydro power plants
• design software for energy management systems.

The design approach and the basic technology used for the development of our applications, enable us to offer reliable systems, assuring: use of equipments specially designed for energy management system an exact and safe treatment of the measurement and fields signals an optimized and safe transmission of the data from the field to the central station free transmission medium choice according to the plant requirements easy modification and extension of the installed systems based on fully programmable software and modular hardware simple and guided man-machine interface based on "windows" (TM) environment integration facilities with existing networks or host computer.
