A key service Encorp is providing California Natural Products and other customers is its new Energy Management Center, a remote monitoring, alarming and reporting service that ensures generators, engines and other distributed energy assets used for standby, peak shaving or cogeneration applications run at peak efficiency.

Encorp's Energy Management Center is a fully automated service that communicates with almost all intelligent genset devices, to collect data, provide alarm notification and deliver critical power analysis for optimal decision-making. In effect, the Energy Management Center leverages the intelligence gained from devices such as the SEL-300G Relays that protect, monitor and control power generation systems, thereby making management of the entire system even “smarter.”

Using nearly any form of connectivity-from a simple phone line to a T1 line-the Energy Management Center immediately alerts operators via e-mail, pager or text message if a problem arises with an on-site power system or when regular maintenance is scheduled. The Energy Management Center also offers limited predictive-maintenance capabilities to increase reliability and reduce downtime.
