NEMOCS: The Software-as-a-Service solution for your Virtual Power Plant
With NEMOCS we offer you a complete IT solution for the construction of your own Virtual Power Plant. Our Software-as-a-Service offer is perfectly suited for the networking of decentralized systems. You can monitor and control thousands of units via the control system. This enables you not only to make forecasts for the feed-in of renewable energy sources, but also to compensate for grid fluctuations. Your advantage: With NEMOCS you use a powerful infrastructure that has proven itself in our daily work and into which all ideas that we have developed in practical application with our IT experts and electricity traders have been incorporated.
Monitoring: In the control system, actual performance, storage levels and readiness of the systems are read out and stored live. The data can be visualized according to your own requirements via the graphical user interface.
High-performance data processing: Price signals from the power exchanges, weather data and grid signals are processed in the control system within seconds. On this basis, optimized schedules for the operation of flexible systems can be created.
Fully automated control: From a distance, the central control system switches each individual system to its optimum operating point and ensures compliance with the traded schedules. Individual system restrictions are of course taken into account. Timetables can be adjusted at short notice.
The control system is the technological heart of the virtual power plant. This is where all the information that the systems transmit in real time via M2M communication comes together. Based on this data, you know at all times how much power is available in the Virtual Power Plant. Market and network data are also processed in the control system and converted into individual control commands. For example, flexible systems can be started up and shut down as required. Based on standard interfaces, NEMOCS is open for all technologies and scalable. Data imports and exports from and to other systems are easily possible via the API interface.
Our Software-as-a-Service solution is modular and can be configured individually. The result is a tailor-made solution that is customized to your individual requirements and application scenarios. We offer you the following services:
