About Tendril EMS

Tendril recently released the beta version of its Tendril Energy Management System (EMS), the first open, standards-based software and hardware system that improves a utility's operation efficiency by engaging residential consumers in a dialogue about reducing load continuously and at critical peak times. Its open architecture provides a seamless integration to any ZigBee Smart Energy products for the home. Tendril EMS can verify consumer behavior, allowing utilities to target incentive and reward programs to consumers that make the biggest difference in consumption. By giving consumers information, disaggregation and control, utilities can help customers reduce consumption and improve their customer experience.

Tendril EMS helps utilities improve their operational efficiency by working with consumers to shape load. EMS allows utilities to meet and exceed the anticipated wave of government regulatory requirements covering energy efficiency. The system is configurable for the utility's entire population from non-networked homes to those with central HVAC or broadband connections. Its full, open APIs integrate with existing back office enterprise systems including meter management and billing systems as well as load monitoring and security applications.
