The solar container communication station energy
By bringing together various hardware and software components, an EMS provides real-time monitoring, decision-making, and control over the charging and discharging of energy storage
Overall, the cost of an EMS is an insignificant part of the total system cost, however, the performance and capabilities of the EMS can have an outsized effect on project availability.
The Energy Management System (EMS) is the project's operating system, it is the software that is responsible for controls (charging and discharging), optimization (revenue and health) and safety (electrical and fire).
Very few BESS EMS providers also offer solar controls. Some offer just a dashboard in lieu of actual controls. In addition to BESS controls, Fractal EMS also offers solar-only controls, as well as AC and DC coupled PV+S. Controller Capabilities.
Some EMS companies cannot communicate with multiple container BMS behind a single inverter (they need a BMS aggregator to create a single connection). Fractal EMS can handle multiple connections and P/Q commands (e.g., 13 devices: 1 solar inverter, 6 DC converters, and 6 BMS). Cyber Security Capabilities.
