SESMA is using the concept of Electricity Daily Allowance (EDA), a sophisticated algorithm that controls the user’s electricity consumption and allows a real demand side management, energy efficiency. This revolutionary invention ensures social acceptability, technical durability of the solution and economic secure results. Over 20 years, this smart meter benefited to several thousands of end-users in various Micro-Grids across the globe and proved that end-users are paying regularly the agreed fix daily amount of energy because they manage a home energy budget without uncertainties or surprises. It also allows an optimal sizing and design of the Mini-Grid. In 2015, it was awarded during the Off-Grid Experts Workshop organized by Phaesun in the Category A “Product – Most innovative component or solution for Off-Grid power supply/use”.

• Less transaction fees.
• Easier business plan for the operator reducing uncertainties on energy consumption.
• Better visibility for the user and for the payment planning.
• Certainty for the user to get his assured amount of daily energy.
• Protection of the whole system by deep discharge.
• Increasing of the lifetime of the equipment, especially the battery.

Standardized: Solution for our projects, is thought to be standard for the scale-up phase. Low cost in soft costs for design, procurement, transport at scale-up phase.

Modular: No need of expensive feasibility studies. The solution size given is a conservative scenario of energy demand (based on the hundreds of feasibility studies carried out), and can always be doubled if demand is higher over the course of time.

Plug & Play: It can be moved to another village/country if a political or economic change threaten the business model, sustainability, or profitability of the Micro-Grid.

Containerized: Cutting down transport costs as no renting of containers to transport, higher quality control compared to construction on site of the technical house.
