Open Energi's Smart Grid solutions help balance the electricity grid in real time. We collect second-by-second power consumption data from thousands of assets in the field, deeply integrating with legacy industrial controllers and building management systems. We use this data to provide our service and also to prove that we have delivered it after the fact. This data is considered sensitive by the companies who own the assets as well as the National Grid, so its flow must be tightly controlled both from the point of view of security as well as validity. I will explain how we designed an ingestion platform to meet these requirements and how we are now bringing this platform into the age of cloud computing.
