Energy Storage & Resilience

Make grid, solar, storage and backup work as one system.

Define how each source operates in normal service, supply interruptions and extended outages, with clear load priorities and recovery rules.

INTEGRATED ENERGY ARCHITECTURE

See how the system can operate.

SELECT A COMPONENT

Grid

Normal supply and connection point. During an outage, a suitably designed islanding scheme must separate the facility from the grid.

OPERATING SCENARIO

Grid and available solar serve facility demand. BESS follows the defined reserve and scheduling strategy; the generator is normally on standby.

Communications and switchgear integration

Define the device interface schedule, metering points, breaker status, permissives, interlocks and synchronization logic. Assess device-supported Modbus TCP/RTU or IEC 61850 interfaces where appropriate; support and gateway compatibility must be confirmed for the selected equipment.

Modbus specifications · IEC 61850 overview

Conceptual architecture, not a construction single-line diagram. Highlighted lines indicate possible energy paths, not measured output. Protection, islanding, earthing, synchronization and transfer performance require project-specific engineering.

Battery Backup Calculator

Enter your operating data to explore a preliminary scenario.
Assumptions and calculation method

AC energy = critical kW × hours. Battery nameplate = AC energy ÷ discharge efficiency ÷ usable depth of discharge ÷ retained capacity. Power allowance is a screening input, not a motor-starting or PCS rating guarantee. No solar or generator contribution is assumed. Transfer time, C-rate, reserve and thermal design require engineering.

Illustrative starting values. Replace them with your site data before discussing a project.

Related solutions and delivery support

Industrial Backup Power

Separate essential processes from deferrable demand, then coordinate storage, generators and controls to meet the required continuity level.

Solar + Storage

Model solar output, site demand and battery operation together. Storage adds value when there is a defined energy-shifting or backup requirement.

EPC

Connect the technical requirement with assessment and project delivery.

Relevant industries

Manufacturing

Energy-intensive equipment, production continuity and capacity expansion.

Industrial Parks

Shared electrical infrastructure, tenant growth and outdoor services.

Hospitals

Continuity of essential services and clearly defined transfer times.
