Domorela's Blog: Energy Saving

Domorela can help to achieve energy savings in different ways:

1. first one is operating as a permanent monitor of the whole installation,
2. second one is acting over writable points present at the installation,
3. third one is offering tools in order to maintain the whole installation free of errors.

Operating as a permanent monitor of the whole installation

Permanent Monitoring is performed by:

1. adding and maintaining values for statistical indicators related to the installation,
2. permanently listening the Bus network traffic,
3. processing all the updated values received from the Bus,
4. collecting measurable data metrics from installation's elements,
5. storing all these data metrics as History Records with Time Stamp,
6. building graphs by querying Histories of stored data metrics,
7. allowing to query Histories from remote systems via API.

Acting over writable points present at the installation

This is done by:

1. sending commands through the graphical controls of the Web User Interface,
2. using scenes with setpoint values to improve efficiency,
3. receiving commands from remote nodes via REST API,
4. managing future and periodical conditional tasks,
5. automatically reacting to technical alarms (alpha stage).

Maintaining the whole installation free of errors

This is achieved by:

1. showing technical alarms related to the installation,
2. monitoring the Bus network traffic with Domorela's BusMonitor tool,
3. storing all the network traffic from the Bus for long periods of time to allow forensic analysis,
   
4. sending e-mail notifications (alpha stage).
