Maximizing benefits from an energy storage system requires strategy and real-time control. Aderis Acuity-EMS makes it easy.
Take control of your energy storage with one platform that meets your operating requirements and maximizes benefits. Ancillary services, stability, and resiliency are at your fingertips with Acuity-EMS’s support for industry standard integration protocols.
REAL-TIME CONTROL
For solar+storage sites, Acuity-EMS provides real-time controls to ensure charging does not exceed available PV power and ensure the combined solar and discharged stored energy do not exceed the PPA.
OUT-OF-THE-BOX-ALARMING
Acuity-EMS alarms are pre-configured using device templates, preventing extensive coding. Alarm notifications can be tailored to your needs.
ENERGY STORAGE CONTROLLER
Schedule battery activity months in advance with an hourly calendar. Implement the planned schedule using CSV uploads or manual input. Adjust the schedule on demand, at any time from your dashboard.
DEMAND REDUCTION CONTROLLER
Acuity-EMS will automatically start and stop the discharge of stored energy to keep power loads below a set target point, while maximizing the use of stored energy. Great for sites with peak demand billing.
GENERATION SHIFTING
For solar+storage, Acuity-EMS will control the charging and discharging schedule of the battery – charging off of solar generated power or the grid during low rate hours and discharging during peak rate hours. Ideal for qualifying for state-run energy incentive programs.
CUSTOM DASHBOARDS
Aderis Acuity’s dashboards consist of drag-n-drop Tiles for each data set, device, query, or task. Acuity-EMS includes a dedicated library of energy storage Tiles to: reset battery faults, switch to manual mode for testing, set standby or shutdown modes, and view live health and performance data.
