Timely and accurate system for bulk power monitoring

eWatch ss is an online monitoring system designed specifically to assist entities wishing to contribute to grid discipline. Monitoring of boundary point scans from a central location with respect to charges for energy, demand and unscheduled interchanges (UI) under the Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) as per ABT (Availability Based Tariff) in India while managing the impact of revenue from the sale or purchase of power under changing grid conditions. Online monitoring of substations and data centres are possible without using ABT features. eWatch ss provides all the information that an entity needs to manage the requirements of its DSM system and help reduce UI deviations. It has powerful contract management features for handling the agreements between different entities, as well as schedule management, a configurable UI rules engine, UI prediction, virtual group management, system-generated alarms, configurable dashboards and reports to help the user make effective decisions. It is designed to deliver reliability, robustness and scalability.
