Energy Meters

PLC Group delivers a full-stack solution from hardware to AI-driven analytics to optimize CAPEX and OPEX in mission-critical infrastructure. Our smart energy monitoring system is part of a broader Remote Monitoring & Control ecosystem, designed to deliver actionable intelligence, reduce TCO, and maximize facility performance.

 The True Value of Energy Monitoring

  • Visibility into Real Electrical Performance: Traditional billing shows consumption totals, while advanced energy-meter data provides more insight into the areas where the energy is being used.
  • Anomaly Identification: Continuous monitoring of voltage fluctuations, phase imbalance, harmonic distortion, and demand peaks enables proactive correction to minimize energy waste or downtime.
  • Drive Sustainability and Measurable ROI: Leverage metered analytics for ESG compliance, detailed energy audits, and validation of energy usage.
  • Enable Accurate Cost Allocation: Attribute power usage to specific sites, tenants consumption, individual elements of sites to drive the PUE (Power Usage Efficiency), or departments to improve accountability and financial planning.
  • Enhance Operational Control: When integrated with cooling, load management, or automation systems, real-time meter feedback supports data-driven optimization across the facility.

 

Why Choose PLC Group Energy Monitoring Solution?

  • End-to-End Integration. PLC Group offering combines hardware, sensors, software, AI, and services for complete insights of the facility.
  • Hardware-Agnostic & Flexible. PLC Group’s approach is to use the existing data sources for monitoring and data collection. When there are critical gaps in data collection PLC’s architecture is designed to handle all OEM products with standard communication protocols or non-communicative equipment via additional sensor implementation.  Zero CAPEX & OPEX Optimization Options. PLC Group offers service models (RaaS = Remote Monitoring as a Service, AIaaS =Actionable Intelligence as a Service, etc.) to reduce upfront costs.
  • Scalable & Secure. Multi-layer security, global support, and cloud or on-prem setups.
  • Actionable Insights. The focus is not just on meters and dashboards, but on delivering “Actionable Intelligence” that drives decisions for positive business outcomes.

Energy Monitoring Solution – How It Works

  • Metering & Data Acquisition. The smart energy meters monitor site level electrical parameters: volts, amps, power factor, harmonics, total kWh, and more.
  • Aggregation & Connectivity. Data is aggregated via gateways and sent to the energy monitoring platform using secure protocols.
  • Analytics & Insight. AI/ML engines detect anomalies by comparing with benchmark KPI’s to provide recommendations for site/network improvements 
  • Control & Automation. PLC solution sets allow for real time decision making at the site level to optimize performance.  Battery or generator testing can be done on schedule without the need for human intervention.
  • Audit & Reporting. Generate reports, trends, and logs to support compliance and planning.

Technical Specifications of Our Energy Monitoring Solution

PLC Group energy meters are built with high-precision measurement technology, delivering Class 0.5% accuracy in accordance with IEC standards. They measure voltage, current, frequency, power factor, harmonics, and total energy consumption across both single-phase and three-phase systems. With RS-485 (Modbus RTU) and Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP, SNMP, MQTT) support, the meters integrate seamlessly with SCADA, BMS, and IoT systems, ensuring reliable data communication and control.

  • Vendor Agnostic Solution. Meters from different manufacturers can be incorporated.
  • Scalable Telemetry & Logging. Designed to ingest and handle high volumes of data points while maintaining performance.
  • Secure Architecture. Emphasis on multi-layer security across device, network, and cloud tiers.
  • Service Models & Deployment Flexibility. Support for on-premise, cloud, hybrid, or managed service frameworks.
  • Data Handling & Integration. Capable of connecting with third-party data sources and integrations for broader analytics.

How PLC Group Ensures Data Security And System Protection

  • End-To-End Encryption: TLS-based secure communication and SNMPv3 authentication safeguard data transmission.
  • Controlled Access: Role-based permissions and SSO/LDAP integration prevent unauthorized system entry.
  • Secure Architecture: Default-hardened ports, multi-layer protection, and logged user activity maintain operational integrity.
  • High Availability: Redundant systems and fail-safe configurations ensure continuous data flow and monitoring.

Integration with PLC Group Remote Monitoring & Control (RMC) Platform

  • Unified Platform: PLC Group’s solutions can integrate metering, cooling, fuel, generator, and energy systems into one “Actionable Intelligence” layer. 
  • Cross-Domain Analytics: Correlate energy, cooling, generator usage, and environments in one pane.
  • Service Models: offer RaaS, AIaaS, etc., to deliver remote infrastructure capabilities. 
  • Open APIs & Interoperability: Designed to integrate with third-party systems and OEMs.
  • Zero CAPEX Path: For clients preferring OPEX models, PLC offers service-level options instead of upfront investment.

Applications of Energy Meters

  • Telecommunications & Tower Networks. Monitor energy use, OPEX control, trend analysis and reduce theft and failures. 
  • Data Centers & Edge Facilities. Improve PUE, benchmark usage, and manage load peaks.
  • Cable Landing Stations & Islands. Operate in remote and harsh environments with integrated monitoring.
  • Public Safety & Mission-Critical Networks. Ensure continuous operations in sensitive infrastructure.
