Energy monitoring is the continuous process of tracking, recording, and analyzing energy consumption in buildings, homes, or industrial equipment using sensors, smart meters, and software.

IIoT monitoring (Industrial Internet of Things) involves using networked smart sensors and devices to continuously collect, transmit, and analyze real-time data from industrial machinery and processes. By monitoring parameters like temperature, vibration, and pressure, it enables predictive maintenance, reduces downtime, enhances efficiency, and optimizes production.

Microgrid control refers to the hardware and software systems that manage, monitor, and optimize distributed energy resources (DERs)—such as solar, storage, and generators—to ensure stable, reliable, and efficient power, whether connected to the main grid or operating in islanded mode. It acts as the “brain” of the microgrid, balancing supply and demand, managing energy storage, and handling seamless transitions during power outages.
