3.2.3. Communications & Data Analytics
Isolated BMS Network Traffic
Separate Gigabit Ethernet ports isolate BMS network traffic from external network traffic, helping
ensure your energy storage system is hardened and reliable.
Inverter Support
Modbus TCP supports MESA Draft 3 storage models for connection to power conversion systems as
well as other external systems through multiple concurrent client connections.
3.2.4. Maintenance and Management
Multi-Stack Current Limiting
Determine operating current for entire pack and use this data to control the inverter, protecting
the battery pack from over-charging or discharging.
Pack-Level Safety
A highly configurable architecture allows the operator to specify system faults and desired
responses. The Battery Control Panel flags faults anywhere in the battery pack and automatically
takes preventive action to keep the battery safe and healthy.
Servicing
Bring stacks online/offline for service, maintenance, modifications, etc. Selectively connect
multiple stacks to the DC power bus.
Network Environment Flexibility
A multi-socket Ethernet interface allows concurrent operation of both local and remote operator
panels, monitoring data and controlling inverters over Modbus TCP.
Battery Performance Tuning
Low-level, fine tuning controls enable optimization and on-the-fly experimentation. Update fault
voltages, temperature levels, and more in seconds from the Operator Interface GUI.
Provides Remote Support
The Battery Control Panel provides a secure VPN connection to a Nuvation Energy server and
grants Nuvation Energy support engineers remote access to check on the health of the battery
pack and aid the local site commissioning team.
