Energy Management System 

An Energy Management System (EMS) is a centralised software solution designed to monitor, control, and optimise energy usage in buildings or industrial facilities. It collects data from various energy sources, analyses consumption patterns, and enables efficient energy distribution, reducing costs and boosting sustainability.

AceOn uses the latest, leading energy management software to ensure the high performance of energy storage sites and asset fleets in the United Kingdom. Read below to find out more about our CommandOS® energy management system. 

Why Do You Need an Energy Management System (EMS)? 

An EMS integrates renewable energy sources into the energy mix, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on non-renewable resources. The system can forecast demand and manage energy distribution effectively by analysing energy data, minimising waste, and lowering costs.

Another big plus point of an EMS is its role in complying with energy use regulations and standards. Many jurisdictions, including the UK, mandate energy efficiency measures, and a robust EMS ensures that organisations meet these requirements in line with their environmental credentials.

Additionally, the system promotes informed decision-making through detailed analytics and reporting. By understanding energy patterns, businesses can implement strategies that drive down operational costs and improve financial performance. 

So, an EMS is crucial for any business or agency looking to optimise energy use, improve sustainability, and boost overall efficiency in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The Benefits of Integrating an EMS into an Energy Storage Site 

Here are just some of the benefits of integrating an EMS into an energy storage site: 

Fully adaptable to your use case 

A top-end EMS is fully configurable for its intended use case. It ensures peak BESS performance by enabling continual monitoring, web-based control, and automated APIs. 

Optimise your BESS ecosystem 

EMS is modular and scalable, enabling your business to optimise its entire BESS ecosystem. Advanced features and controls enable complete configuration, which means you can tailor your EMS to each unique case within the ecosystem. 

More control 

Ultimately, an EMS is about control. The continual flow of data to your source monitor means that you have live, accurate, and real-time information from your BESS site. Specifically, you can tailor your EMS to your precise needs: 

• Use the ESS block software to control and power small sites with independent access to battery controls. 
• The storage software means that you can optimise the way you store energy at one or multiple sites. 
• The EMS also has a merchant feature, giving you access to potentially lucrative income-generating opportunities. 
• Finally, the renewable software feature set means that you can leverage solar power and other sustainable energy sources for maximum efficiency and profit. 

AceOn’s Energy Management System CommandOS®: Key Features 

Below are the features and performance metrics you can expect from AceOn’s EMS: 

Battery control 

Remotely control and adjust charging and discharging patterns for full control over the batteries within your BESS. This also enables you to respond to live grid conditions for optimal performance. 

Complete remote control 

As AceOn has coded, designed, built and operate their EMS in the UK we can adapt to any use case and customer requirement, offering complete remote control of the BESS ecosystem. The CommandOS® is a hardware-agnostic EMS platform that enables control of any hardware that sends or receives a signal, providing complete flexibility.

Optimise your assets 

Our EMS gives you complete control over your system, offering the best opportunity to optimise your assets while deploying your energy storage efficiently. The EMS connects to multiple different systems including battery storage, solar pv, wind turbines, hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysers, fire alarms and other IoT management systems.

Improved performance management 

Our system provides predictive insights into performance and downtime, thus enabling you to fine-tune your system’s performance to avoid outages and monitor the effectiveness of your entire operation. 

Safeguards 

Your team can set point of interconnection (PoI) safeguards to guarantee energy flow. This is a crucial safeguarding step for your BESS. 

Power dispatch and grid stabilisation 

Our EMS allows you to unleash the full power of your energy storage system with the latest features for safe and efficient operation. Moreover, you can ensure a consistent and reliable power source, helping with grid stabilisation. 

Boosted revenue 

One of the crucial roles of your EMS within your BESS is to boost revenue. You can capitalise on revenue opportunities, improve readings, and make precise measurements to make more money from your system.

Renewable integration 

Generate, deploy, and showcase your use of clean and renewable energy. This will help reduce your company’s reliance on fossil fuels while monitoring and reporting any greenhouse gas emissions.
