Smart Grid Infrastructure The NES System and the Echelon Control System (ECoS) Platform for the Smart Grid The smart grid is an energy network that provides intelligence about the grid, not just the meter. Everything that draws power from or contributes power to the grid is part of the smart grid. Smart grid solutions must be able to adapt to changing market and regulatory needs by: Only the NES System can do this. The NES System helps developers quickly create new software-enabled services because it's based on the Echelon Control System (ECoS) software platform, it's smart enough to help heal itself, and it's flexible and open enough to adapt to new business environments for decades to come through its open apps framework. Duke Energy selected the NES System for its smart grid project in Ohio. Learn why Duke is working with Echelon to extend the smart grid with intelligent distributed control at the edge. The NES System The NES System is a complete software-driven system for metering, rather than simply a smart meter. The system resides in the grid itself, and offers advantages in power quality, service flexibility, and insight. NES System Advantages The NES System offers many advantages over meter-focused and a la carte smart metering solutions. These advantages stem from our system approach, power line communications, and open apps environment. NES System Components Our smart meters, data concentrators, edge control nodes, and system software work together to meet the needs of the smart metering and AMI markets from the perspective of the grid, not just the meter.
