Talk of session: Energy Management Systems: Not Just For Battery Storage?

Battery storage systems consist of three main components: battery (including BMS), conversion unit (inverter), and controller (EMS). The EMS was used to simply calculate target values for the inverter, based on power meter readings, and to monitor inverters and battery's functionality. Today, it also controls or optimizes other devices in a local energy system, such as EV chargers and heat pumps. Modern EMSs optimize assets for multiple use cases (e.g., solar self-consumption, grid usage, dynamic tariffs). Learn more about the latest trends, including the use of AI in energy management systems for battery storage.
