Your Battery System Control, Solar Monitoring and Operations Partner!
WATTMORE is a Denver, Colorado software company that builds energy management system (EMS), power plant controller (PPC), and solar monitoring (DAS) software for battery storage, solar, microgrid, and data center projects. Real time battery control, grid compliance, and solar monitoring driven by Solstice AI, all vendor agnostic, and all in one platform.
Battery Controls Built for Your Load
The same EMS and power plant controller, tuned to what your site is actually trying to accomplish.
Data Centers
Battery controls sized for high density, always on load. Ride through utility events, shave the peaks that set your demand charges, and shift load off the grid during the most expensive hours without touching uptime.
Microgrids
Islanding and resynchronization, generator and solar coordination, and black start sequencing. One controller arbitrates every asset on the bus so the site stays up when the grid does not.
Energy Savings
Demand charge reduction, time of use arbitrage, and tariff aware scheduling that pays the system back. Every dispatch decision is measured against the bill it is meant to lower.
Energy Management & Power Plant Control, One Control Loop
Most projects buy their EMS from one vendor and their PPC from another, then spend the commissioning budget making the two agree. WATTMORE ships both in Intellect Operate, sharing one data bus and one control loop.
13 MWh of utility scale storage, with the EMS and the power plant controller running on one WATTMORE control loop.
Energy Management System
Our battery EMS decides every charge and discharge command in real time: peak shaving, demand charge reduction, load following, backup reserve, and market participation. Vendor agnostic across every major battery, PCS, and BMS.
Power Plant Controller
Our storage PPC enforces grid compliance on every command before it reaches the inverters: frequency droop, voltage regulation, and ramp rate limiting. Built into the same control loop as the EMS, so there is no third party integration risk.
Our Patented Ecosystem
A complete technology stack integrating hardware, software, and AI to deliver control, visibility, and insight at both the asset and portfolio levels.

Compliance & Connectivity
One controller sits between the point of interconnection and every asset on the bus. Intellect Operate is the EMS, the power plant controller, and the site SCADA in a single stack, so utility dispatch, market signals, and device level control all move across one data bus instead of three vendor boundaries.

Battery EMS and Power Plant Controller FAQ
Straight answers on energy management systems, power plant controllers, and how WATTMORE fits together.
What is a Storage EMS?
A Storage EMS (Energy Management System) is software that controls when batteries charge and discharge to maximize revenue and grid services. Also called a battery EMS or energy storage EMS, it optimizes dispatch in real-time. WATTMORE's Intellect Operate is a leading storage EMS used by developers, utilities, and asset owners across the United States.
What is a Battery Energy Management System?
A Battery Energy Management System is software for controlling energy storage systems. Often called a storage energy management system or BESS EMS, it handles real-time dispatch, peak shaving, and grid services. WATTMORE provides battery energy management software for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale storage.
What makes a great battery EMS software platform?
Leading battery EMS software combines AI-powered dispatch, vendor-agnostic hardware support, and proven reliability. WATTMORE's Intellect Operate is recognized as a leading BESS energy management solution, supporting all major battery manufacturers with edge+cloud architecture for maximum uptime and revenue optimization.
What is a Solar Energy Management System?
A Solar Energy Management System monitors and optimizes solar power generation. WATTMORE's Intellect EnFORM provides comprehensive solar energy management system capabilities including real-time monitoring, performance verification, and AI-powered analytics.
What is the difference between Intellect Operate and EnFORM?
Intellect Operate is a full storage energy management system that controls battery charging/discharging for revenue optimization. It is a complete battery EMS and energy storage EMS. EnFORM is a solar energy management system and data acquisition platform that provides visibility into solar and storage performance.
Is WATTMORE software vendor-agnostic?
Yes, WATTMORE's storage EMS and solar energy management system work with any hardware manufacturer including Tesla, LG, SMA, Dynapower, and more. Our energy storage energy management system supports Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, DNP3, and REST APIs.
What is an Energy Management System?
An energy management system (EMS) is software that monitors and controls energy assets in real time. For battery storage, the energy management system optimizes when to charge, discharge, and participate in grid services to maximize revenue and reduce costs. WATTMORE's Intellect Operate is a full energy management system with integrated power plant controller, SCADA, and AI-powered dispatch for battery energy storage systems.
What is a Power Plant Controller?
A power plant controller (PPC) is a real-time control system required for every utility-scale battery storage and solar project. The power plant controller enforces grid compliance including frequency droop response, voltage regulation, and ramp rate limiting on every command before it reaches the inverters. WATTMORE's Intellect PPC is a power plant controller integrated directly into the energy management system, eliminating the integration risk of separate vendors.
What is the difference between an EMS and a Power Plant Controller?
An energy management system (EMS) is the optimization layer that decides when to charge, discharge, or participate in grid services. A power plant controller (PPC) is the compliance layer that enforces grid requirements like frequency droop, voltage control, and ramp rate limits. Both are required for battery storage projects. WATTMORE combines the EMS and power plant controller into one platform, Intellect Operate, so they share the same data bus and control loop.
Can a battery EMS support a data center?
Yes. A battery energy management system is used at data centers to shave demand peaks, ride through utility disturbances, and shift load away from the most expensive hours without affecting uptime. WATTMORE's Intellect Operate provides the battery controls, dispatch logic, and grid compliance layer for data center storage, coordinating the BESS alongside existing generators and UPS infrastructure.
Does WATTMORE provide microgrid controls?
Yes. WATTMORE's energy management system and power plant controller handle microgrid operation including islanding, resynchronization to the grid, generator and solar coordination, and black start sequencing. One controller arbitrates every asset on the bus, so the site stays energized during a grid outage and transitions back cleanly when utility power returns.
How does a battery EMS reduce energy costs?
A battery EMS reduces energy costs through demand charge reduction, time of use arbitrage, and tariff aware scheduling. The energy management system forecasts site load and prices, then dispatches the battery to shave the peaks that set your demand charges and to buy energy in cheap hours for use in expensive ones. WATTMORE measures every dispatch decision against the utility bill it is meant to lower.
Does WATTMORE offer a storage Power Plant Controller?
Yes. WATTMORE's Intellect PPC is a storage power plant controller purpose-built for battery energy storage systems. It handles bidirectional power flow, state of charge protection, IEEE 2800 compliant droop response, voltage control, and ramp rate limiting. The storage power plant controller is fully integrated into Intellect Operate, so the compliance layer and the optimization layer share one control loop.
