Energy & Battery Management

Energy Management
System (EMS)

Our purpose‑built EMS + BMS platform — engineered in Mississauga, deployed across every Blink ESS cabinet. Sovereign data hosting, adaptive AI dispatch, per‑cell diagnostics, and one API from the smallest SmartCell to a grid‑scale fleet.

Overview

Two systems.
One brain.

The Battery Management System (BMS) lives inside every rack — monitoring voltage, current, temperature and impedance on every cell at 1 Hz, balancing pack‑level state, isolating faults before they propagate.

The Energy Management System (EMS) sits above — commanding one cabinet or a thousand. It reads the utility meter, the PV inverter, HVAC loads and EV chargers, then dispatches the battery second by second to shave peaks, chase market prices, or protect the site during outages.

Both stacks are engineered in Canada, hosted on sovereign servers, and expose the same REST + WebSocket API — so building your own dispatch strategy is a Monday afternoon, not a six‑month integration.

Architecture

From cell to cloud in six hops.

Every reading — from a single cell's temperature to a fleet‑wide dispatch signal — travels through the same six‑layer stack. Every layer redundant, every message encrypted, every hop logged.

◆ LAYER 06 · CLOUD

Sovereign Cloud + Fleet API

Canadian servers · REST + WebSocket · GDPR / PIPEDA / CCPA compliant

◆ LAYER 05 · SITE EMS

Runs on the cabinet

AI dispatch, tariff optimization, PV / EV / HVAC integration, grid‑services bidding

◆ LAYER 04 · CABINET EMS

Cabinet Controller

Per‑cabinet SOC, thermal management, safety interlocks, fire suppression triggers

◆ LAYER 03 · RACK BMS

Master BMS

Rack SOC/SOH, string current, contactor control, isolation monitoring

◆ LAYER 02 · PACK BMS

Slave BMS

Pack voltage & temperature, active balancing, per‑pack diagnostics

◆ LAYER 01 · CELL

Cell Sense

Per‑cell voltage, temperature, impedance · 1 Hz sampling

◆ EDGE — HARDWARE (LAYERS 01–04)

Runs on the cabinet

Deterministic control at 100 ms — fast enough for grid‑forming inverters and fault ride‑through. Continues operating even if the site loses its uplink to the cloud.

◆ CLOUD — SOFTWARE (LAYERS 05–06)

Runs in Canada

Data never leaves sovereign jurisdiction. AI dispatch models retrain nightly on fleet‑wide telemetry. Same portal serves a homeowner and a portfolio operator.

◆ INTEGRATIONS

Reads the whole site

HVAC · Rooftop PV · EV chargers · Utility meter · Building automation · Weather forecasts. One control loop, one dashboard, one bill lower every month.
Capabilities

What the stack does.

Six commitments engineered into every EMS + BMS deployment — from a single SmartCell wall unit to a 200‑cabinet utility site.

Peak & Demand Optimization

AI models forecast site load and utility tariffs 24 hours ahead, then dispatch the battery to flatten peaks and minimize demand charges.

Cell‑Level Safety

Continuous voltage, temperature and impedance monitoring on every cell — early‑warning models detect thermal runaway precursors before they escalate.

Grid Services Ready

Frequency regulation, spinning reserve and capacity market participation — bid capacity into ISO/RTO markets and pocket the revenue.

Solar + Load Integration

Reads PV inverter, HVAC, EV chargers and building automation over Modbus, SunSpec, BACnet — orchestrates them as one system.

Fleet Dashboard

Portfolio operators monitor thousands of sites from one browser — SOC, SOH, revenue, alarms — with role‑based access for owners, installers and utilities.

Open REST + WebSocket API

Every telemetry point, every setpoint, every historical reading — behind one authenticated endpoint. Build your own dispatch strategy without waiting for us.

Fleet Dashboard

One browser tab for the whole fleet.

Live view across every cabinet you operate — SOC, SOH, revenue, alarms, dispatch schedule. Same dashboard scales from one wall‑mounted SmartCell to a two‑hundred‑cabinet grid‑services fleet.

Core Function 01: Intelligent Control & Revenue Optimization
25% +
Increase in Annualized Power Revenue
Our AI-powered charge-discharge strategies accurately matchpeak electricity prices and flexibly adapt to balance multiple revenue streams:
Higher Revenue: Ensures every kilowatt-hour is traded at the "mostexpensive time slots."
Faster Response: 400-millisecond, ultra-fast frequency regulation ensures system participation in ancillary services (e.g., frequency regulation, demand response), broadening income sources.
Stronger Adaptability: Integrating functions like black start andpower quality management, the system runs stably even underabnormal conditions, guaranteeing uninterrupted revenue.
Return on Investment
Compared to traditional strategies, a single system'saverage power revenue increases by 25–30%, shorteningthe investment payback period by 6–12 months.
