Greensmith announces turnkey energy storage systems (ESS) up to megawatt scale

MARYLAND, USA: Greensmith Energy Management Systems is a leading provider of energy storage technologies and solutions with over 30 systems deployed utilizing its advanced, battery-agnostic technology platform.

The company has seen rapid growth by delivering ever-larger, more sophisticated, energy storage technology solutions for utility, power developer and C&I applications. The company now offers "a la carte" energy storage software, design and grid integration services to a variety of energy storage participants who wish to leverage Greensmith's proven software technology and deployment experience.

In addition to delivering turn-key energy storage systems (ESS) up to megawatt scale, Greensmith provides a centralized software system which monitors and controls all of the various elements within the ESS, including the batteries, inverter, fire protection system, and even AC system.

"Our customers want all of their ESS information in one place," says CTO Ken Kim. "Many ESS units today are installed with disparate control systems for each respective component: the battery management system ("BMS"), the inverter, the air conditioning system, and the fire protection system, all operating separately from one another, without a master controller.

"Sometimes this leads to conflicting messages, for instance between the BMS and the inverter, which causes operational issues for the ESS owner. By centralizing the information and controls, Greensmith is able to consistently dispatch systems according to customer's commands and provide safety oversights which may otherwise be lost by one system or another."
