How the Intellect platform works under the hood: EMS, PPC, SCADA, DAS, edge controllers, and the AI that watches it all.
FEOC compliance has quickly become one of the most important procurement requirements in the American solar and energy storage industry. If you are developing, financing, or operating a solar or batte...
Every energy project needs a data acquisition system (DAS). Every energy portfolio needs a standardized one. DAS and monitoring are not line items you select on a project by project basis; they are in...
Selecting the best energy management system for a battery storage project is one of the highest-leverage decisions a developer or asset owner will make. The energy management system controls every dis...
Every utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) that connects to the grid needs a power plant controller. This is not optional. Without a power plant controller, your project will not pass in...
WATTMORE is launching Intellect PPC: our Power Plant Controller: as the newest product in the Intellect platform. Every utility scale battery energy storage system connected to the grid needs a PPC. I...
A 10 site energy portfolio with 10 different monitoring platforms is not a portfolio. It is a collection of disconnected projects with no unified operational intelligence. The moment you deploy your s...
Energy storage operators should not need five platforms to run one battery system. They need one. WATTMORE's Intellect Operate is the single solution that controls your battery, monitors every compone...
The energy storage industry has spent years separating SCADA, EMS, and power plant controller (PPC) functions into different vendor buckets. Developers end up with three contracts, three integrations,...
Battery storage has moved from niche to grid infrastructure, and the next phase is taking shape: pack prices falling, durations stretching, AI running operations, fleets aggregating into virtual power plants, and software becoming the differentiator between identical batteries. Here are the trends with the numbers behind them.
A microgrid is a local energy system that can run connected to the grid or islanded from it, with generation, storage, and loads coordinated by a controller. This guide covers the components, how islanding actually works, why the battery and its EMS are the enabling pieces, and the use cases where microgrids earn their keep.
Weather data is the reference against which solar performance is judged and the raw material of every forecast a storage system uses. This guide covers the parameters that matter, the sensor standards worth specifying, and how weather data flows into both performance verification and battery dispatch.
A solar energy management system is the software layer that monitors, analyzes, and optimizes solar generation, from string level data to portfolio analytics. This guide explains what a solar EMS does, how performance verification works, what separates it from free inverter portals, and why the difference shows up in energy and revenue.
In energy storage, "storage EMS" and "SCADA" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are different systems with different jobs. SCADA supervises equipment and records data; a storage EMS decides what the battery should do and does it. This guide explains the difference, where the two overlap, and when a project needs both.
A battery energy management system (battery EMS) is the software that decides when a battery charges, when it discharges, and how it takes part in energy markets. This guide explains how it works, what it controls, how it differs from a BMS and SCADA, and why it is the largest single driver of project revenue.
The storage EMS controls every dispatch decision for the life of a battery asset, which makes choosing one a bigger economic decision than most hardware line items. This guide walks through the six criteria that separate a real EMS from a monitoring portal, the mistakes buyers repeat, and the questions that expose the difference.
