The automated demand response solution from eSmart Systems uses predictive models to forecast potential capacity problems and automatically control the power load to prevent outages. The solution provides short-term and long term forecasts and offers a centralized hub to monitor and manage the entire grid. “Our Azure-based platform, that runs on top of all the client’s systems running in a power grid, helps connect data streams from multiple sources and provide grid managers with a single user interface for all of their monitoring tasks,” says Johansen. eSmart’s platform services are augmented with predictive analytics and mobile connectivity to incorporate trends like big data, mobility, cloud services, and social networking into the client’s infrastructures.
“The disruptive data platform we built for the energy industry has lever¬aged nearly all the Platform Services that Microsoft Azure of¬fers,” says Johansen. By basing their entire portfolio on the Az¬ure Platform as a Service, eSmart Systems avoids the time spent in upgrading and maintaining their servers and focuses more on creating business value to energy management.
Ringeriks-Kraft, one of Norway’s leading smart-meter companies is one among many clients benefitted by the solutions offered by eSmart Systems. The company helped Ringeriks-Kraft to map the operational characteristics and consumption volumes for each of its 21,000 meter points.

With such impactful solutions, strategies to deliver complete, cost-effective, and relevant solutions, eSmart Solutions helps utility companies stay ahead of the competition. “Our key differentiators include the cloud-based solution and big data capability that is coupled with analytics and machine learning,” says Johansen. These services translate into optimized operational caliber for customers of eSmart Systems.
