NES Control Point Modules provide the capacity to transform various devices connected to the grid, including basic electric meters, into smart, communicating devices and meters that interoperate with the Networked Energy Services (NES) system via the Open Smart Grid Protocol (OSGP). The NES System is a highly scalable and adaptable smart grid system that includes a network of intelligent energy management devices, and Control Nodes support these networks by collecting data from the various electricity grid devices and meters.
