envisage Energy Management System

envisage opens up a virtual window to analyze and control your facility's real-time energy usage – onsite, through a web browser or mobile device.

To manage rising energy costs and the constant demand to keep mission-critical systems operating efficiently, we re-imagined the traditional energy management system (EMS). envisage offers the most comprehensive, customizable software solution from the most responsive and experienced services resource team anywhere.

 

System Approach

The complete envisage solution offers a choice of four customizable modules that can be standardized:

envisage Monitoring
The envisage Monitoring module displays real-time power and demand data from remote intelligent energy devices as well as facility-wide infrastructure systems.

envisage Power Analytics
The envisage Power Analytics module remotely captures disturbances on the electrical network such as total harmonic distortion, individual harmonic distortion, and sub-cycle transients.

envisage Energy Tracker
The envisage Energy Tracker module is an essential tool for managing energy usage and identifying areas for cost savings. The Energy Tracker module aggregates energy data to create individual energy reports and bills for a variety of groupings.

envisage Control & Automation
The envisage Control & Automation module executes energy management strategies by automating load-shedding schemes to minimize energy charges.

envisage can communicate with many GE and non-GE devices, including meters, trip units, generators, transformers, drives, switches, and networked systems such as HVAC and security.
