What is

Smart Grid Vision

Kalkitech SYNC 5000?

The Smart Grids of the future holds

immense opportunities for all the
stakeholders in the electricity chain
- right from the generation utility
company to the end consumer. Smart
Grids will not only allow better peak
load management and real time
dynamic response, it will also provide a
safe, secure and seamless connectivity
between consumer appliances and
energy meters, and enterprise level
monitoring and control systems located
at the back office.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure and
its management will be key in this vision
for a cleaner and responsive Grid and
Kalkitech solutions centered on AMI /
AMM enables complete, scalable and
secure end-to-end solutions that caters
to the dynamic requirements of the
energy industry.

Kalkitech SYNC 5000, is a meter data acquisition

system specifically designed on the three pillars
of scalability, security and connectivity. SYNC
5000 sits perfectly in the Grid value chain
and functions as the nerve centre for both
downstream consumer and residential systems
(Meter data collection, meter management,
demand response, etc.) as well as upstream
enterprise systems (energy audit, billing, CRM,
ERP, etc.).
With its expertise in field level implementations
through SYNC range of products, as well as
optimization and enterprise software through
the ELTRIX products, Kalkitech delivers the most
comprehensive end-to-end solution for any
customer requirement.

Why SYNC 5000?

Reach out to the consumer

Unmatched scalability

Kalkitech SYNC 5000 provides real-time and

bidirectional data flow between the utilities and
consumers. Through its distributed web services
based architecture, SYNC 5000 allows for the
Demand Response through monitoring and control
at the most granular level, as well as provides inputs
for Auto billing, notification (SMS / email) and VAS

The distributed architecture of the SYNC 5000

using software modules deployable on single or
mulitiple machines makes it highly scalable, thus
guaranteeing the same performance levels across
various requirements.

services, web based applications, and many more.

Enable real-time enterprise solutions across

distribution, transmission and generation
SYNC 5000 can be leveraged for a plethora of
control center and enterprise solutions across the
energy value chain, using its web services interface.
SYNC 5000 can also interface through DLMS Server
thus enabling seamless connectivity with the latest
smart meters. SYNC 5000 is also CIM-ready (IEC
61970/IEC 61968), enabling connectivity across
industry grade enterprise level systems.

Easy to deploy
SYNC 5000, ensures no operating system
portability issues, delivering huge savings in terms
of deployment costs as well as time. SYNC 5000
can communicate with a wide range of devices
supporting DLMS, Modbus and many other
proprietary protocols complaint meters. It also offers
worry-free remote connectivity through Kalkitech
field devices (SYNC1700, 1900, 600) over GSM/
GPRS/ CDMA/VPN/Fiber optic/E1 links.

Multi-level security
SYNC 5000 provides a secure data flow by
enabling VPN across unsecured communication
channels. This will be over and above the protocol
specific security features like encryption, etc. This
added to SYNC 5000 authentication and audittrail logging facilities ensures data protection is
maximized.

SYNC 5000 Modules

Meter reading module

Data storage modules

Communicate to field level concentrators and

meters with the protocol driver modules (Modbus,
DLMS/COSEM, and custom protocols). Direct upload
from flat files is also possible (FTP, email , HHU, etc.)

SYNC 5000 supports multiple RDBMS formats in a

distributed architecture including Oracle, SQL Server
and MySQL. It also supports a variety of monitoring/
analytical features including data logging, alarms
and events logging.

Data delivery modules

The protocol driver modules enable connectivity to
a wide range of upstream/downstream devices, and
also provides for CIM connectivity for fast event and
command throughputs to higher level/enterprise
levels systems.

Webserver for configuration, monitoring,

control and reporting
The webserver makes available configuration,
monitoring and control of instantaneous values,
alarms and event screen with feature rich GUI.
Configuration is also a breeze with easy to use

Notification engine
The notification engine of SYNC 5000 provides
capability for intimating subscribers either
through SMS or email on events and alerts, on
almost real-time basis. The notification engine
also controls the publish actions within the
SYNC 5000 system.

SYNC 5000 Enterprise Service Hub

The Hub sits at the centre of all the modules
and provides for a scalable, high QoS messaging
services between all the other component
modules.
