SO-EMS MASTER R&D PROJECT

Module Registry

SO-EMS is organized as one modular research architecture rather than a collection of disconnected experiments.

M01 establishes the measurement foundation. Each later module can then extend measurement, logging, analysis, storage, recovery, control or system integration while remaining part of the same energy-accounting framework.

M01 M02 M03 M04 M05 M06 M07 M08 M09 M10

ONE MASTER SYSTEM

Every module should strengthen the same measurement architecture.

New modules should not create isolated datasets or incompatible measurement methods.

Each module should contribute to our ability to understand energy input, output, storage, recovery, losses and operating conditions.

MODULE STATUS

Define before we claim.

Only modules with a documented purpose and architecture should be treated as formally defined.

DEFINED

Documented

Purpose, measurement role and operating boundary are recorded.

DEFINED
DEV

Development

Architecture exists and physical implementation is being developed.

DEVELOPMENT
PLAN

Planned

Position in the master architecture exists, but the detailed specification is not yet published.

PLANNED
TEST

Validation

Physical module is being tested against defined measurement requirements.

TEST REQUIRED

MODULE 01

M01 — Energy Meter

M01 is the foundation of the entire SO-EMS architecture.

It establishes the low-voltage DC measurement bench used to record voltage, current, instantaneous power and accumulated watt-hours.

Later modules should be built on measurement principles validated here.

MODULES M02–M05

Extend the foundation.

These modules remain part of the master architecture. Their detailed roles will be published individually as we restore and formalize their original definitions.

SO-EMS M02

Module M02

Reserved for the next defined SO-EMS measurement or energy-management subsystem.

SO-EMS M03

Module M03

SO-EMS M10

Module M10

Final module in the current ten-module SO-EMS master architecture.

R&D

COMMON ARCHITECTURE

Every module should speak the same energy language.

INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT STORAGE CHANGE LOSSES RECOVERY
UNIT

Consistent Units

Prefer watts and watt-hours for electrical power and energy accounting.

TIME

Timestamps

Measurements should retain enough time information to reconstruct the test.

SRC

Source Classification

Preserve whether data is manual, sensor-based, imported or calculated.

TYPE

Data Classification

Clearly distinguish DEMO, ESTIMATED and MEASURED values.

MODULE DESIGN RULES

Every new module must justify its place.

01

Purpose

Define what question or system problem the module is intended to address.

02

Boundary

Define what physical system lies inside the module's measurement boundary.

03

Inputs

Identify energy, signals and physical conditions entering the module.

04

Outputs

Identify the measurable physical or digital outputs.

05

Instrumentation

Specify what is measured and how it will be verified.

06

Data

Define what information should be logged and retained.

07

Safety

Define appropriate limits and failure conditions.

08

Validation

Define how the module's measurements or functions will be tested.

DEVELOPMENT LOGIC

Measurement comes before intelligence.

MEASURE LOG VERIFY ANALYZE CONTROL OPTIMIZE

SHARED DATA MODEL

One record format can connect the modules.

ID

Module ID

Identify the module producing or receiving the data.

TEST

Test ID

Connect measurements to a specific experimental run.

TIME

Timestamp

Preserve when the measurement was recorded.

VAL

Value

Store the numerical or state measurement.

UNIT

Unit

Preserve the physical unit with the value.

SRC

Source

Identify whether the value came from a sensor, manual entry, import or calculation.

TYPE

Data Type

Retain DEMO, ESTIMATED or MEASURED classification.

SO-EMS → CONTROL ROOM

Ten modules can eventually feed one operating view.

The Control Room should not need to understand every piece of experimental hardware directly.

SO-EMS can normalize verified measurements and send useful system-level data into the digital Control Room.

Enter Control Room
CURRENT ENERGY MODEL Control Room Snapshot
—
GENERATED — kWh
CONSUMED — kWh
STORED — kWh
RECOVERED — kWh

Current Control Room values may still be DEMO, ESTIMATED or manually entered. SO-EMS modules will progressively create a path toward instrumented MEASURED data.

MODULE → EXPERIMENT

Modules are instruments. Experiments answer questions.

SO-EMS modules should remain reusable across multiple experiments whenever possible.

MODULE VALIDATION

Every module should earn trust before controlling critical systems.

01

Bench Test

Test the module under simple known conditions.

02

Reference Comparison

Compare measurements against a suitable trusted reference.

03

Repeatability

Repeat identical tests and compare results.

04

Field Test

Observe performance in a real operating environment.

05

Integration

Connect validated data to larger SO-EMS and Control Room workflows.

DEPLOYMENT PATH

STAGE 2

Garage Lab

Connect modules to practical systems and real prototype loads.

Measure integrated energy flows across a larger operating site.

NEXT DEVELOPMENT STEP

M01 establishes the meter. M02 extends the architecture.

Before building additional modules physically, their role should be restored and documented with the same clarity as M01.

That keeps the ten-module system coherent as it grows.

SO-EMS M01 → M10

Ten modules. One system for understanding where the energy goes.
