Where Smart Systems Meet Critical Infrastructure and Data Powers the Grid

Energy infrastructure is being transformed by data — smart meters generating millions of readings, grid systems requiring real-time optimization, renewable integration creating new complexity. Our team has built metering platforms, grid monitoring systems, and demand response solutions that process data at scale while meeting utility-grade reliability requirements.

The Challenge

Energy Systems Are Getting More Complex

Smart meters, renewable integration, grid optimization — the energy sector is data-driven. Most legacy systems weren't designed for this scale or complexity.

Meter Data at Scale Is Overwhelming

Smart meters generate readings every 15 minutes — that's 35,000 readings per meter per year. Multiply by millions of meters, and you have a data management challenge that breaks traditional databases. Most MDM systems weren't designed for this volume.

The Grid Is Getting More Complex

Renewable integration, distributed generation, electric vehicles — the grid is becoming bidirectional and unpredictable. Real-time optimization requires systems that can process data and make decisions in milliseconds, not minutes.

Reliability Standards Are Non-Negotiable

Energy is critical infrastructure. Downtime isn't just inconvenient — it affects hospitals, emergency services, and vulnerable populations. Systems must be designed for 99.99% availability with graceful degradation and disaster recovery.

"Energy systems are critical infrastructure — when they fail, communities suffer. Our team builds with that responsibility in mind. We design for utility-grade reliability: redundancy, failover, and the kind of operational excellence that keeps the lights on."
— Gautam Thapa, CEO
Core Capabilities

Energy Software We Build

From smart metering to grid monitoring — systems that handle utility-scale data and meet critical infrastructure requirements.

Smart Metering & MDM

Millions of meters, real-time visibility

Meter data management systems that handle millions of smart meter readings, validate data quality, detect anomalies, and enable advanced analytics. We build MDM platforms that turn raw meter data into actionable insights for operations, billing, and customer engagement.

What We Deliver:

  • High-volume meter data ingestion
  • Data validation and estimation
  • Anomaly and theft detection
  • Outage detection
  • Billing system integration
  • Customer usage portals

Technical Approach: Time-series databases, stream processing for real-time analytics, batch processing for historical analysis, API integration with head-end systems.

Grid Monitoring & SCADA

Real-time visibility across the grid

Grid monitoring systems that aggregate data from substations, feeders, and distributed resources into unified operational dashboards. We build systems that integrate with existing SCADA infrastructure while adding modern analytics and visualization capabilities.

What We Deliver:

  • Real-time grid status dashboards
  • SCADA data integration
  • Outage detection and management
  • Power quality monitoring
  • Historical trend analysis

Technical Approach: OPC-UA/DNP3 integration, time-series databases, low-latency event processing, GIS integration for spatial visualization.

Demand Response & DER

Optimize load, integrate renewables

Demand response platforms that help utilities manage peak load through customer programs, and distributed energy resource (DER) management systems that integrate solar, storage, and EV charging into grid operations.

What We Deliver:

  • Demand response program management
  • Customer notification and enrollment
  • DER aggregation and dispatch
  • Load forecasting
  • Settlement and measurement

Technical Approach: Event-driven architecture, OpenADR integration, forecasting models, customer portal development, smart device integration.

Utility Analytics & Reporting

Data-driven operations and compliance

Analytics platforms that turn utility data into operational insights, regulatory reports, and customer intelligence. We build analytics solutions that help utilities optimize operations, meet compliance requirements, and improve customer satisfaction.

What We Deliver:

  • Operational KPI dashboards
  • Reliability metrics (SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI)
  • Regulatory compliance reporting
  • Customer analytics and segmentation
  • Revenue protection analytics
  • Predictive maintenance analytics
  • Executive reporting

Technical Approach: Data warehouse design, ETL pipelines, BI tool integration, automated report generation, data quality monitoring.

Smart Grid Architecture

Four Layers of Energy Infrastructure

Smart grid systems are layered — from field devices to enterprise systems. Each layer has specific protocols, latency requirements, and reliability standards.

Field

Purpose: Meters, sensors, RTUs

Technologies: AMI head-end, DNP3, IEC 61850

Edge

Purpose: Data concentration, local processing

Technologies: Edge gateways, protocol translation

Platform

Purpose: Data management, analytics, applications

Technologies: Time-series DB, stream processing, APIs

Enterprise

Purpose: Billing, CRM, reporting

Technologies: ERP integration, BI tools, portals

Key Principle: Secure Integration

Energy systems span operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). We design architectures that bridge these worlds securely — integrating legacy SCADA with modern analytics without compromising operational network security.
