Energy Storage & Resilience

Connect daytime generation with the hours that matter.

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

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.
