EMS Dashboard¶
The EMS Dashboard is the first page you see when you open the Energy Management System. It gives you an at-a-glance picture of your facility's energy for the current calendar month, with live readings updating in real time.
KPI cards¶
Five summary cards appear across the top of the page.
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| This Month | Total active energy consumed in the current calendar month, in kWh. Includes a % change vs the previous month (red up arrow = increase, green down arrow = decrease). |
| Last Month (P-1) | Total consumption for the previous calendar month, in kWh. |
| 2 Months Ago (P-2) | Total consumption two calendar months ago, in kWh. Useful for identifying seasonal trends. |
| Maximum Demand | The highest power demand recorded this month. The unit (kW or kVA) is set by your engineer in EMS Settings. |
| Avg. Power Factor | The average power factor of all incomers this month (0 to 1; higher is better). |
Maximum demand source
The platform looks for demand data in this order: dedicated peak_demand tag → maximum_demand register → peak apparent power (kVA). Whichever source is available is used automatically.
Energy source breakdown¶
A pie chart below the KPI cards shows what percentage of your total consumption came from each source type this month.
| Colour | Source |
|---|---|
| Blue | EB (utility grid) |
| Amber | Solar |
| Green | Wind |
| Red | DG (diesel generator) |

Consumption trend¶
A stacked bar chart shows your daily consumption for the current month, with each bar split by source type. This lets you see how your energy mix has shifted day-to-day — for example, whether solar generation has been covering a larger share on recent days.
Live Active Power tiles¶
If your energy meters stream real-time data, a row of live tiles appears — one tile per incomer. Each tile shows:
- The machine (incomer) name
- The current active power reading in kW
- The incomer source type (EB, SOLAR, etc.)
- A Live badge (green) when the stream is connected, or Offline (grey) when it is not
Live Peak Demand tiles¶
A second row of live tiles shows the real-time peak demand grouped by source type. The platform sums all incomer machines of the same type to give you a single combined figure:
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| EB | Sum of current peak demand from all EB (grid) incomers |
| SOLAR | Sum of current peak demand from all solar incomers |
| WIND | Sum of current peak demand from all wind incomers |
| DG | Sum of current peak demand from all DG incomers |
The unit shown (kW or kVA) follows the setting configured in EMS Settings.
Live Power Factor tiles¶
A third row of live tiles shows the power factor per individual incomer. Power factor values below 0.9 may attract penalty charges from your utility provider.
Tip
If tiles show Offline, check that the hub connected to your energy meters is online in the Digital Twin.
Incomer summary table¶
At the bottom of the page, a table lists every configured incomer with its total consumption for the current month. Use this for a quick comparison across all your energy sources.
