General Features

General Features of Actwin Smart Energy Management are listed below:

• Multi-language support
• Ability to use widely used and secure Microsoft SQL and Oracle databases…
• Distributed structures such as “server”, “client” and “internet” interface.
• The server is the main engine that runs in the background and collects data from devices.
• The client is the part of the application where management and interaction with the server are carried out. The server and client interfaces are desktop applications.
• The internet interface allows users (such as factories) to log into the system and monitor their consumption, energy quality and create reports of their own devices.

Communication

Actwin Smart Energy Management has a modular structure to enable different new protocols that may be available in the future. Supported protocols are listed below.

Communication Protocols

• IEC 62056-21 Mod C and constant baud rate
• DLMS/Cosem
• Modbus-RTU
• Modbus-TCP/IP
• M-Bus
• Wireless M-Bus

Communication principle

• Serial communication (RS485, RS232)
• GPRS
• M-Bus
• Ethernet
• PLC (DLC)
• RF

It is compatible with “push” and “pull” structure. The data collection program, the program for saving results to the database can be defined, and the measurement parameters to be read from each device can be defined independently.

Actwin Smart Energy Management's communication module starts automatically when the server starts as a windows service. This prevents users from accidentally closing the data collection application.

Reporting

• Reports such as the following can be prepared with the collected data. The modular structure provides the opportunity to add new reports to the software when necessary.
• There is no need to upgrade or replace Actwin Smart Energy Management when a new report is requested. All reports MS
• Can be exported to Excel, MS Word, HTML and PDF.
• Reporting as a table of measurements of all selected devices. Additionally, measurements to be reported can be selected.
• Graphical representation of measurements of the desired device. Multiple device measurements can be plotted on the same chart.
• Measuring points consumption, average values, etc. comparable to algorithms.
• Active and reactive energy rate reports for electricity meters.
• Consumption reporting of electricity meters according to energy tariffs.
• Distribution network load reports (Transformer, gas stations)
• Measurement point daily, monthly and annual consumption reports.
• Map display with measurement points and filters (Reactive energy, low consumption, loss/fraud situations, no contact point, etc…).
• Transformer loss report
• Comparison of monthly and annual total consumption of the distribution network and import/export time periods.
• Identified gas component reports.
• Natural gas minimum/maximum hourly and daily consumption report.
• Measuring point inventory report
• Measuring point communication performance report
• Water meters low/over consumption report

Single line scheme

• Like SCADA systems, the electrical distribution network can be displayed on single line diagrams and the information of devices such as electricity meters and secondary protection relays on this network can be monitored.
• Information such as power-current/voltage values of the meter, on/off status of the secondary protection relay and power-current/voltage values of the quality recorder can be monitored.
• For gas meters, measurement values of type B and C stations, filter pollution status, door/valve status can be displayed.
• Drag and drop support.
• An infinite number of screens can be created.

Loss/Leakage Detection

• Loss/Theft reports can be prepared manually and automatically. Automatically prepared reports can be sent by e-mail to defined people.
• Electricity meter parameters (events, current/voltage/power/power factor/phase angle etc...) can be monitored continuously and operators are notified when an unexpected measurement or ratio is measured.
• Unexpected consumption differences are detected between the main distribution points and the points connected to that distribution point.
• Operators can be warned by detecting interventions on meter and panel covers.

Data validation

• Measurements should not be used in invoices and reports without a data verification system. Therefore, these data verification methods are used.
• Is the measurement within certain limits or not?
• Measurement rate according to previous period consumption
• Status according to last measurements
• Is the measurement within standard deviation or not based on the average value of the last billing periods?
• Compatibility between the unit of measurement and the measurement, if any

Integration

Synchronized connection of the system and other systems (ERP, accounting, geographical information, banking, etc.) can be achieved with Web Services.

Subscriber Management
Reports can be created from all kinds of records saved in the database, such as defined measurement points, customers, groups.

• New users and/or measurement points can be defined without professional skills using the copy-paste method.
• There is no limit on subscriber defined information regarding measurement points and customer cards. Some predefined information are:
• Customer number
• User name
• Address/Parcel Information
• User type
• Start date of operation
• Authorized person
• Telephone, fax, e-mail, etc. contact information.
• GPS coordinates
• Reports can be generated from this defined information, and then grouping, listing and filtering can be done from these reports.

Web Interface

Actwin Smart Energy Management's internet interface allows customers to monitor their own consumption and energy quality parameters. Access to the interface is made by entering their username and password, and users can only access their own measurement points.
For security, there is no direct connection when the system is connected to the internet. There is a secure web service level between the internet interface and the database.

• Users can view historical measurement values of their own measurement points
• Users can view public or personal messages from management.
• Natural gas consumers can send their forecasts to the AMR system and check forecast reports.
• Users may receive warnings such as reactive penalty, maximum demand exceedance, minimum and maximum gas consumption.

Alarm Management

• Event records of measuring devices can be saved in the database and reported.
• The system monitors reactive energy consumption and if there is a measurement that indicates that the limits are approached or exceeded, the system informs users via e-mail and SMS.
• Email and SMS notifications can be saved in the database and reported later.

Authentication

• Roles can be defined with predefined permissions on the system. Users can be defined and roles can be assigned to users.
• Operators can authorize according to measurement points. They can define which users can access which measurement points.

Software Modules

• Communication and data verification
• Reporting
• Billing
• Loss/Leakage Detection
• Single Line Diagram and Map presentation
• Integration with web services
• Alarm Management, SMS and email notification
• internet interface
• User Management and Inventory
• Authentication
