SCADA vs EMS in BESS: Understanding the Brain and Nerve System of Energy Storage

SCADA vs EMS in BESS: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are more than just batteries—they are intelligent ecosystems. At the heart of this intelligence lie two key control systems: SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and EMS (Energy Management System). But what’s the difference between them? Why do you need both in your energy storage […]

How EMS Enables Advanced Grid Services Through BESS

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are evolving beyond just storing energy. With the intelligence of Energy Management Systems (EMS), they’re becoming powerful grid assets. From frequency regulation to voltage control, EMS unlocks a suite of advanced grid services that were once limited to traditional power plants. Let’s explore how EMS empowers BESS to support modern […]

What is Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) and Why It’s Crucial for a Sustainable Future

🌍 What is Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES)? Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) refers to energy storage systems that can discharge energy continuously for more than 10 hours, unlike traditional short-term batteries. LDES solutions are designed to store excess electricity—often from renewable sources like solar or wind—and release it during periods of high demand, outages, […]
