How does Comverge retrieve energy consumption data?
Metering data is typically obtained from the utility or energy service provider (ESP) service meter for the facility. Comverge retrieves interval data through a variety of sources, including FTP file transfer from host utilities, ESP, meter data service provider (MDSP), customers, integration to the utility-grade meter using MV-90 protocol, or via the addition of a shadow metering or recorder device. The specific source used will depend on the type of meter currently installed at the location, the accessibility to the service mete,r and communication interfaces. Where necessary, Comverge is capable of providing the engineering expertise to design, commission, and install a metering system to enable energy information retrieval.
