deSide Package Components

A core part of the value delivered by the deSide® package is the ability to integrate the secure, reliable and timely data feed into your pre-existing process control system – enabling your existing team of Process Operators to view electricity prices in the same way as any other process input data stream: including
1)  In your process control system screens; and
2)  Using your existing process control system alerting capability; and
3)  Triggering automated curtailment when electricity prices reach your “extreme” price threshold levels.

For relevant people in your organisation, the deSide® display screens will provide visibility of the key data you need to watch to plan out operations for your day ahead.

Operators might sometimes have a deSide screen displayed to see price forecasts, but this depends on specifics of each energy user

Some of our clients use the small Ticker application to maintain some visibility of current prices in the region(s) they care about whilst working on other things.

We’re providing increased visibility of electricity price and demand via small-screen responsive web pages that are hence accessible on any smart phone regardless of operating system (Android, Apple, and other).
1)  This is provided for the Energy Manager in terms of providing some broader context; but
2)  It’s specifically not intended for use by the Production Operator

It is assumed that the Operators will use whatever mobile displays are already used onsite in conjunction with broader process control

For Managers and others engaged in more strategic thinking about electricity prices, we’re providing a web-based analytical capability to enable them to query a set of historical AEMO market data, and also ASX Energy futures prices.

To augment what functionality is provided by your own Process Control System.

It is assumed that the Operators will use alerting within broader process control
