OF THE FUTURE
Our energy equation delivering added value
Value innovation strategy approach
At the core of our offering is the VPS Integrated Platform (VIP)
• Providing Industrial, Commercial and Domestic clients the means of gaining, real time, Active Demand
Management, of their energy consumption
• Future proofing their consumption against changes in tariff structures
Creating Virtual Power Plants Enabling them to balance
their grid with reduced demand at peak times
Localised programmes to manage [Constraint Zones]
without the need for additional Capex
Real-time demand management to:
Minimise - permanently the level of total energy
consumption in conjunction with a range of Energy
Conservation Measures (ECM’s)
Optimise – the time and source of consumption to match
changing tariff structures for grid based sources of
generation
Monetise – the value in the embedded flexibility of their
consumption
for Network Operators for Energy Consumers

Architecture
At this tier, the KiSense is used to present and
interact with the data stored on iEnergy
database. According to the needs the correct
modules are loaded on KiSense
KiSense has an n-tier architecture
Apart from the advantages of modular software with well-defined interfaces, this
architecture is intended to allow any of the tiers to be upgraded or replaced
independently in response to changes in requirements or technology.
Through the use of iCenter, iCenter X or
iCenter Link, this tier abstract all equipment
and other systems installed using TCP/IP
communication to collect the data from the
various sensors. It takes advantage of well
known protocols to assure third parties
integration with Kisense
Through the use of iEnergy, this tier processes
the operational data collected by iCenter,
validating it and calculating higher level
aggregations

Presentation Layer Dashboard modules
In the presentation layer, Kisense is the tool that supports interaction with the end user. Kisense contains a set of modules
that provide access to several features, of which we highlight the dashboard, the consumption history, the definition and alarm
display, the consumption visualization in real time and the definition and implementation reports.
Dashboard – Widgets cards

Presentation Layer Module Data Explorer
NORMAL
The Data Explorer module offers
you the ability to view the history of
consumption and other variables
types (temperature, humidity, CO2,
etc.) in an intuitive way, allowing
separation by type of line (eg
general lighting, sockets, etc. .).
- Analyse the consumption of
electricity, water and fuel
- Compare consumption in local and
specific areas
- Group and ungroup data according
to needs
- Navigate the data using a
selected aggregation, such as
Hour, Day, Week, Month or Year.

Presentation Layer Advanced Data Explorer
ADVANCED
The Advanced Data Explorer provides
the user with the ability to explore in
detail any variable acquired by the
system and the definition and
implementation of data search
templates simplifying access to
routine analysis. The user is able to
view the data collected either from
supplied equipment, or from external
systems. The user is also able to
analyse the information that has
already been processed and
aggregated in iEnergy.

Presentation Layer Alarm Modules
The Alarm module
enables the creation of
alarms from any direct
readings, equipment
and even calculated
KPIs. This module
allows to constantly
monitor the energy
consumption and the
installation profile. It
can apply timely
measures whenever
there are deviations
from normal operation.
• Set consumption

• Set alarms for
specific levels of
consumption and
objectives
• Choose how to be
notified
1. Define variables 2. Set options

Presentation Layer Control Module
The Control module allows
to remotely control circuits,
and equipment. Through
direct or scheduled On / Off
commands.
• Set remotely
temperatures HVAC
• Schedule operating
periods and respective
temperatures
• Change the settings in a
simple way
• Connect and then turn off
specific circuits and
systems
• Get detailed information
of its weekly settings

SW Platforms
Presentation Layer Module Baselines
The Baselines module
allows to manage the
defined baselines. It's
possible to create
baseline groups and
give them values, then
set the days of the year
with those baseline
groups. There are
accelerators for
selecting the days
faster such as the
weekdays and clicking
on the month name or
the weekday on each
month. It's also
possible to copy
baselines.

iEnergy Data Processing Engine
The data processing layer uses the iEnergy platform to ensure the storage of large volumes of
data. In addition to these functions, the iEnergy is the back-office data processing engine that allows aggregation of data,
creation of consumption indicators (daily, weekly, monthly) report engine, etc. to be submitted.
iEnergy, allows management of users and their respective permissions. It allows creating multiple profiles in relation to their
roles, responsibilities or other variable. It also enables the management of the installed equipment, since the operation,
configuration and status of operation.
iEnergy provides adequate tools for the life cycle management of equipment which enables generating communication failure
alerts, an asset in the detection of anomalies.
iCenter Communications Platform
iCenter is the communications platform that assures the communication with all
equipment deployed in the field. It assures the communications between the
equipments and the remaining software layers.
iCenter is a scalable platform, built to gather massive amounts of data, which is also
capable of communicating with 3rd parties’ equipment, using standard protocols. It can
integrate with multiple equipment manufacturers as well as other systems (BMS SCADA,
GTC, etc.). This platform is widely tested and is used in all the company's solutions for
mass data collection.
The iCenter support communication with remote units using SMS (GSM), TCP / IP
(GPRS) or serial port. The collected data can be made available through WCF services or
libraries (Class Library).
