Network Energy Services enable you to set up your embedded network. This enables your tenants and residents to get discounted electricity. Clients can also benefit from their water and electricity infrastructure.
You can set up embedded networks on various sites. This includes retirement villages, commercial parks, manufactured home estates, shopping centers as well as on apartment buildings.

Embedded networks have become very popular nowadays. This is majorly attributed to the fact that property owners, occupiers, developers and managers are now aware of its many benefits. The legislation that promotes the on-selling of energy is very recent. However, there has been immense growth in the embedded networks implementation. Consumers usually have a retailer’s choice. This is subject to the agreement between embedded owner and the energy trader. The embedded network is not linked to the grid directly.
Embedded network can only exist when the following are all true:
1. When an embedded network owner allocates an ICP to all the consumers. The ICPS are managed according to the rules.
2. The owner of the embedded network has Network Supply Point (NSP) that has been created at the point of connection. It can be between the network and another embedded network or the parent network. All ICPs always refer to this Network Supply Point in the registry.
3. For every NSP that is connected to its network, the owner of the parent network must establish loss factors. They must include this with loss category codes as well as loss factors that are published on the registry.
4. The owner of the parent network should have an ICP identifier that has been created for the connection point to the embedded network. The ICP should have both price category code as well as loss category code. This represents losses encountered by the owner of the parent network.
5. Embedded network NSP should have Rules compliant HH (half-hour) meter.
6. Embedded network owners should have a certification for clearing and settlement purposes. The certification can be obtained under collection and submission of information rules.
7. The owner of the embedded network should establish loss factors for the ICPs. These needs to be published on the registry in the loss factor table. The loss category code should then be populated against the ICP that is in the embedded network.
8. All UML should be managed in the registry.
Embedded network owners can be able to recover all the returns invested on embedded network. This can be established with the help of connection and demand diversity. Due to this, they are able to offer cheap network services to their tenants.
Challenges of Utilizing Embedded Networks
Implementing embedded networks has its share of problems. For instance, they don’t have any standardized application layer that specifies how the exchanged data is structured or when and how the data is exchanged. They only cover the physical and the data link layers.
In case you want to implement an embedded network, then you would need a proprietary solution. You need to generate an inner communication specification. Network nodes are usually built in-house making embedded networks even more challenging to use.
It is difficult to outsource. This can be attributed to the unavailability of communication standards. Third parties cannot be able to build efficient components if there is lack of communication standards.
