Energy automation – intelligent and future-proof

We Keep your grids up and running without any need to worry

Flawless operation of the entire grid in our increasingly distributed energy landscape is the basic prerequisite for any network operator, electricity supplier, and industrial enterprise today.

Reading a utility meter isn’t a difficult task. But if you’re a public power company with tens of thousands of customers to service, simple site visits quickly become an incredible challenge—both financially and operationally.

Nearly two decades ago, utility providers began using radio frequency (RF) transmitters to enable mobile “drive by” or “walk by” meter readings. Over time, these RF transmitters became part of a robust two-way and increasingly autonomous “smart grid” utility network. Along with these advances comes a new challenge: how do you get the most value and capability out of your network?

Today, Melius Lab’s energy automation solutions are helping public power utilities see end-to-end benefits that were never before possible. From smart metering to demand response to substation automation, Melius Labs innovations are helping to make the electric grid smarter than ever.

FAQs

Got some questions? The following are frequently asked questions we get asked about.

Ethernet was originally designed for office applications and is not deterministic (due to CSMA/CD, latency, queuing in switches, etc.). To satisfy the requirements of industrial automation and process control, the concept of real-time industrial Ethernet was introduced to the market. POWERLINK, a software protocol based on standard Ethernet, is the most well-known of these real-time industrial Ethernet solutions. High-speed, deterministic response times are ensured via through a mix of time slot and polling procedures.

If your application requires high-speed, deterministic response times, POWERLINK is the right solution for you. POWERLINK is based on standard Ethernet and does not require any specific proprietary hardware (ASICs, etc.). POWERLINK boosts your application to unmatched performance levels at the lowest cost.

POWERLINK is used in all kinds of applications in all industries, including audio/video, automotive, distributed control systems, energy management, machinery, industrial automation, railway and maritime transportation, robotics, uninterruptible power supplies, vision systems and many more.

There’s only one reason not to put a POWERLINK interface on a device: “If the device is too small for an Ethernet port”. For all other devices, it makes sense.

Cycle times down to 100 µs can be achieved with 100 ns network jitter. The minimum cycle time depends on the amount of data, the number of nodes in the network and the frequency at which they need to communicate.
