Citadel™

Citadel™

Citadel™ is a simplified DER Service. The Citadel™ enterprise server is a powerful and flexible, open-standards-based DER Service that enables utilities to manage and control DER communications while providing an open interface to grid management systems. Citadel™ can be deployed behind a customer’s firewall or in the cloud.

Convoy

Convoy™

Convoy™ aggregates communications and control. Cloud-based Convoy™ is an open-standards DER (generator or load) communication, control and coordination platform for energy services providers. It connects and controls any DER using IEEE 2030.5 or non-2030.5 devices via its API.

Kitu Systems Spark IconSpark

Spark™

Spark™ makes devices smart. Spark™ is an intelligent software client that can provide advanced communication capabilities to a wide variety of energy devices. It can reside in the optional Envoy™ Gateway or be embedded in devices. It integrates seamlessly with Citadel™ and Convoy™ or can be used with 3rd party systems via IEEE 2030.5 or other protocols.
