Modern facilities run on multiple energy sources: solar photovoltaic, wind, grid power, and on‑premise batteries. Each source is often metered by different manufacturers using different communication protocols. The result is fragmented data, inaccurate consumption monitoring, and missed opportunities for renewable energy credit verification.
Most organizations cannot afford to standardize hardware across hundreds of meters before implementing a management platform. That is where a protocol‑agnostic Smart Energy Management Platform becomes essential.
Tespro’s SEMS eliminates the need for hardware standardization
It supports a wide range of local and global standards: DL/T‑645 (widely used in China), ANSI and ANSI Type 2 (North America), as well as TCP, UDP, MQTT, and IEC 62056‑21. SEMS can acquire data from electric, water, gas, and heat meters, plus smart switches, all through a single dashboard.
For facilities participating in renewable energy programs, SEMS enables accurate billing based on net energy delivered to consumers. It can allocate renewable credits per consumption, support multi‑tenant billing, and handle complex scenarios where a building both consumes and exports solar energy
SEMS standardizes the data layer, not the hardware. Fragmented data from incompatible devices is merged into a unified view, accessible from any web browser or mobile device. Procurement teams can deploy today without waiting for meter replacement programs.
- We manage a solar‑powered industrial park in India with meters from five different brands (some using DL/T-645, some Modbus). Can SEMS read them all?
A: Yes. SEMS is protocol‑agnostic and already supports DL/T‑645, Modbus RTU/TCP, and many other standards. You simply configure each meter’s protocol in the platform – no hardware changes, no custom coding. All data appears on a single dashboard. - In North America, we need to bill tenants for renewable energy credits from our on‑site solar array. How does virtual metering work?
A: Virtual metering allows SEMS to calculate net energy delivered to each tenant (consumption minus solar contribution). The platform then generates a separate billing determinant for renewable credits. This is fully automated and compliant with most state renewable portfolio standards.
You should not have to replace meters to gain visibility into renewable energy. Tespro’s SEMS brings any meter, any protocol, and any energy source into one cloud platform – with virtual metering for fair billing.
