Emerson has released specialized battery energy storage systems (BESS) featuring energy and asset management software for its Ovation Green portfolio of renewable energy systems. Combining field-proven, purpose-built power plant controllers, energy management strategies and SCADA, Emerson’s BESS connects devices and systems across manufacturers, aggregating and contextualizing battery storage data into insights that help optimize battery use and extended battery life. Ovation Green BESS includes a specialized battery algorithm suite that streamlines battery control through customizable function blocks that distribute proportioned setpoints to individual components such as inverters and battery management systems. The resulting control strategy automatically optimizes charge and discharge cycles and grid interactions.
