What is Energy Management System (EMS) in battery energy storage?

Among the various elements that make up an energy storage system, the Energy Management System (EMS) plays a vital role in optimizing its operation and maximizing its benefits. In this article, we will explore the evolution of EMS in battery energy storage and why it often needs to be replaced on operational projects.

How does an EMS system work?

The EMS system dispatches each of the storage systems. Depending on the application, the EMS may have a component co-located with the energy storage system (Byrne 2017).

How can a battery energy storage system help your business?

Effective implementation of an EMS, particularly with a focus on battery energy storage, can transform how your business manages and utilises energy. It leads to increased efficiency, cost savings, and a step forward in achieving sustainability goals. Get in touch with Wattstor’s specialist team on [email protected].

What is an EMS & why is it important?

Considering that household energy consumption in Europe accounts for around 60% of global greenhouse emissions (GHGs), an EMS plays an important role in emissions reduction. An EMS allows consumers to optimize their energy consumption, minimizing their reliance on the power grid and maximizing their self-generated solar energy.

What is strategic intelligence in EMS?

Strategic intelligence is a key aspect of modern EMS solutions. It involves optimizing the operation of the energy storage system based on various factors, including electricity prices, demand patterns, and system objectives.

What are EMS solutions?

EMS solutions allow sites with rooftop solar panels to maximize self-sufficiency and lower costs. For example, the EMS uses historical consumption patterns, forecasts and setpoints to ensure that rather than being curtailed, surplus solar power is used to charge or power other devices, such as a battery or electric vehicle (EV).
