EnerMAN’s product suite is engineered to address key operational challenges in modern power plants. Together, these solutions form a cohesive ecosystem that ensures optimised performance, improved energy efficiency, and seamless coordination across all plant components.

ETi-EDGE: Reliable Local Monitoring SCADA and Data Acquisition

ETi-EDGE is a streamlined local monitoring system designed to ensure high data accuracy and system reliability. All operational data is securely stored within the local system, eliminating dependency on continuous internet connectivity and making it highly suitable for remote or critical installations. This architecture enables operation and maintenance engineers to monitor and manage plant performance effectively, even in challenging environments. To further enhance reliability, EnerMAN is implementing a High Availability (HA) architecture for ETi-EDGE, ensuring system redundancy and uninterrupted data acquisition. The solution supports deployment on both Ubuntu and Windows platforms, providing flexibility based on project requirements. In the event of a system interruption, the HA configuration automatically resumes data collection within minutes and synchronises historical data within a short duration, ensuring data continuity and integrity.

ETi-SOL: Remote Monitoring SCADA (RMS) for Solar Power Plants

ETi-SOL is a powerful SCADA platform tailored for comprehensive monitoring and control of solar power plants. It acquires data from field-deployed instrumentation and securely transmits it to a centralised server, enabling reliable remote access to all critical plant parameters. The platform supports multi-level monitoring at plant, block, and device levels, offering enhanced visibility and precise operational control. ETi-SOL also enables seamless data extraction and comparative analysis across multiple plants, allowing operators to evaluate performance trends and identify optimisation opportunities. The platform features advanced dashboards that deliver actionable insights, including inverter ranking, inverter and grid downtime analysis, generation forecasting, and PVSYST-based performance evaluation. These tools empower engineers to proactively address performance issues and improve plant efficiency. Remote operations such as breaker and inverter active power control are facilitated through secure access mechanisms, ensuring safe and controlled plant operations. The system is designed in compliance with CEA guidelines and IEC standards, ensuring regulatory adherence, interoperability, and high operational reliability.

Additionally, ETi-SOL incorporates robust cybersecurity measures, including two-factor authentication (2FA) and OTP-based verification, to safeguard data integrity and maintain secure communication channels.

Apart from this, ETi-SOL / ETi-EDGE exchanges data seamlessly with MNRE’s Solar Energy Data Management (SEDM) platform, through structured, time-synchronised and secured protocols, ensuring full regulatory compliance. With more than 100 MW of PM-KUSUM solar PV plants already digitised with EnerMAN’s SCADA / RMS and 500MW of projects are actively progressing across India in near future.

ETi-PPC: Power Plant Control

ETi-PPC delivers real-time grid-level voltage stabilisation, effectively mitigating fluctuations that can lead to equipment stress, operational downtime, or regulatory non-compliance. Its autonomous operation, especially during unmanned hours, ensures continuous grid compliance and long-term system stability. In advanced inverter-based solar plants, ETi-PPC plays a critical role in maintaining high-quality grid interaction. It performs Power Factor (PF) control with high responsiveness by dynamically adjusting the phase angle between voltage and current, thereby reducing losses and improving efficiency. Additionally, reactive power compensation is managed by enabling inverters to inject or absorb reactive power, stabilising voltage and supporting weak grid conditions. With advanced algorithms controlling active and reactive power flows, ETi-PPC ensures seamless grid integration and compliance with statutory requirements. Features such as automated scheduling, remote operability, and intelligent fault handling further enhance reliability, making it a robust solution for efficient and secure plant operations.

ETi-ZES: Zero Export Solution

EnerMAN’s ETi-ZES is an advanced Zero Export Solution designed to ensure that industries fully utilise their captive power generation without exporting excess energy to the utility grid. The system continuously monitors real-time generation and load demand and dynamically regulates inverter output to match internal consumption requirements. This ensures strict adherence to utility regulations and prevents penalties associated with unintended power export. By optimising energy utilisation, ETi-ZES reduces dependency on grid power and significantly lowers operational costs. The solution is equipped with intelligent control algorithms and offers seamless integration with existing plant infrastructure. It provides stable, reliable, and compliant performance, making it an essential component for efficient and secure industrial energy management systems.

ETi-LMS: Load Management System

EnerMAN’s ETi-LMS is designed to ensure efficient load management during Diesel Generator (DG) operation by dynamically controlling system loads and regulating inverter AC power based on real-time demand. The system continuously monitors load and generation conditions, adjusting inverter output to match the required load profile. It maintains the DG loading within an optimal range of 30–35 percent of its rated capacity, where fuel consumption is significantly reduced and operational efficiency is improved. ETi-LMS prioritises the utilisation of available solar generation by ensuring that renewable energy is fully consumed by the load before supplementing with DG power. This minimises reliance on conventional energy sources and enhances overall system efficiency. Additionally, the system prevents reverse current flow to the DG, protecting it from potential damage and ensuring stable and reliable operation in hybrid energy environments.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, EnerMAN’s integrated SCADA ecosystem represents a robust and future-ready approach to power plant monitoring and control. By seamlessly combining advanced data acquisition, intelligent analytics, and automated control functionalities, the platform significantly enhances operational visibility, system reliability, and informed decision-making. Each solution—ETi-EDGE, ETi-SOL, ETi-PPC, ETi-ZES, and ETi-LMS—is purpose-built to address specific operational challenges while collectively contributing to a unified and efficient plant management framework. Designed in compliance with CEA guidelines and IEC standards, and reinforced with advanced cybersecurity measures, EnerMAN ensures secure, reliable, and compliant operations. This holistic approach not only optimises energy utilisation and reduces operational costs but also supports scalability and long-term sustainability, making it a preferred solution for modern power and renewable energy infrastructures.
