Faster decision making

Automated, real-time optimization and insights allow for fast, accurate decisions to achieve minimal emissions and cost-effective energy production, distribution, scheduling, and trading.

Automatic scheduling

Automatically calculate the optimal schedule of energy supply and storage with multi-period optimization over a rolling time horizon, considering forecasted weather, prices and process demand.

Reduce cost and emissions

Optimize energy costs and emissions simultaneously to achieve reductions of between 1 and 5%.

The Power of 5

The Visual MESA Energy Management digital twin is a set of five applications that can be used individually, combined or all together.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management

Visual MESA GHG Emissions Management (VM-GEM) calculates, monitors and reports the energy system GHG emissions, providing actionable recommendations for operations and auditable reporting capabilities.

Meet our expert on Energy management

“When companies can manage energy provision and consumption in real-time, it is possible to reduce total energy use with just a few actions significantly. Area by area, a site can quickly improve efficiency and reduce consumption and emissions. At the same time, process plants, manufacturing sites, and communities must consider the best way to produce, store, distribute, and mix the available energy vectors in the context of the energy transition to zero GHG emissions.

Whether traditional, renewable, or both energy sources are used, there is a need to find an effective way to adapt to this new context by integrating these sources into the energy system infrastructure. The final objective is to simultaneously reduce cost and GHG emissions in the current context, during the transition to neutrality, and continue doing it when a distributed, renewables-based energy system operates long after.”
