One-stop-shop for Smart Grid Management


Xelas Software is a privately owned company, which acquired the software licenses and intellectual property of Vertel Corporation and Retix in 2004. The MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification, the most widely used and complex smart grid protocol) specification, originally implemented by Retix, has been fully adopted by Xelas Energy Software.  All components in our portfolio are fully owned, developed and supported by Xelas Energy Software. This is of great importance to ensure effective support and performance management. We have no dependencies on third-parties when it comes to streamlining the communication to all the layers of the stack. Xelas Energy Software is one of the few software vendors worldwide who have implemented in-house:

  • IEC 61850 standards
  • MMS protocol
  • RFC1006 (OSI across TCP/IP)
  • TP4/CLNP (regular OSI protocol)

Business and Partner Models

Xelas Energy has created a Partner Business model which provides excellent opportunities for System Integrators and Solutions vendors to get access to the XEM products. Specific Smart Grid applications can be built upon the XEM Platform which can provide the necessary 61850 and other connectivity needed within the Smart Grid architecture.

Solutions for both IT as well as OT integration

XEM supports IEC 61850 management, legacy integration and back-office information supply in a very flexible, fully distributed manner.

Grid operators can enjoy seamless, reliable, carrier grade, flexible and streamlined grid management architecture, based on our twenty years of operations technology (OT) experience.  Many of our customers told us about their concerns and challenges, integrating this network information into their business systems. How important it is for their business not to lose any network information.

Xelas Energy decided to build XEM directly accessible for “standard” modern IT.  XEM data handling is fully based on relational database systems. Our architecture enables rapid development of application services. The complete solution is script based, and adaptable without bringing the systems down.

Offering complete network reporting and analyses, all enabled by a technical infrastructure that the operator himself can understand and adapt.  While change management and maintenance is very easy, even without detailed specialist knowledge, its possibilities are so rich, that you may prefer our assistance in designing our packaged solutions. Xelas offers the professional services for turn-key solutions based upon the XEM Products.
