BESS Energy Management System - Apdiscomm

The document discusses specifications for an Energy Management System (EMS) to control a battery energy storage system (BESS) integrated with a solar power plant and grid. The EMS is required to interface with inverters, batteries, communicate with the grid operator, control battery charging and discharging, provide alarms, and utilize communication protocols like Modbus and DNP3. It also outlines usage scenarios where the solar power supplies agriculture load, with batteries and grid making up any shortfall. Additional suggested specifications cover EMS capabilities like monitoring plant parameters, achieving scheduled power output, battery management, and providing reporting and dashboard functions.

Existing clause on Energy Management System (3.1.

6)

BESS Energy Management System (“EMS”)


The EMS controller (computer and software) shall be provided to manage system operation to include but
not limited to:
 Interface with inverter controller;
 Battery management systems;
 Control battery charging, discharging, & state of charge;
 Provide alarming for out of specification conditions and malfunctions;
 Communication interface with APDISCOMs;
 Communication to the transformer high side circuit breaker protection scheme to protect the
BESS from system abnormities such as faults, under frequency, over frequency, etc.;
 HMI’s are to be located in the battery enclosure and DISCOM control room; and
 Energy management software communication protocols shall be Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP,
and DNP3. The System will be integrated with DISCOM utilizing DNP3.

Suggested Additions:
EMS should communicate between BESS, Solar power and Grid to meet Usage scenarios as mentioned in
Clause 3.1.5 and highlighted below

 Usage Scenarios
Constant load (Agriculture Load)-
 Agriculture load met by power from 5 MW Solar plant.
 If not all agriculture load is met by solar power, then it is met by discharge of Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS).
 If agriculture load is still not met, then it is met by Grid power.
Constant source (Solar power)-
 Solar power generated is used to meet agricultural demand.
 Excess solar power generated in a day is used to charge BESS.
 Further excess solar power is supplied to Grid.

Typical schedule of solar power generation is 8 AM to 3 PM. BESS charging schedule is 4 hrs
daily in between 8 AM to 3 PM whenever solar generation is in excess than the load (10AM-
2PM). BESS discharge is from 8 PM-12 Midnight.
