Energy Management System (EMS) has become a catch-all term for any software that monitors, controls, or optimises energy storage systems. This broad and often inaccurate representation can lead owners and operators to overestimate the capabilities of some software, preventing them from fully leveraging their battery energy storage system (BESS) investments by deploying the right software mix.
Join Wärtsilä Energy Storage and Optimisation (ES&O) for an enlightening panel presentation to delve into the intricacies of the technology that controls and optimises a battery power plant. By the end of this session, you will:
- Understand the key features that distinguish sophisticated software from other tools, such as data volume and handling, scalability, and asset performance management, which significantly impact the revenue generation and performance of BESS.
- Gain a clear understanding of industry terminology, including the inputs and outputs of various technologies like EMS, SCADA, and Power Plant Controllers.
- Identify software solutions that can support the dynamic needs of the market in which your BESS operates.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and make informed decisions about your energy management strategies with Wärtsilä’s energy storage experts, Luke Witmer, Sunitha Kurapati, and Scott Blalock!
