An American energy storage system provider faced a monumental task: building a 40 MWh energy storage system for a leading solar power company. They needed a networked solution to collect and monitor vital data—charging and discharging currents, as well as the temperature of each individual battery.

Imagine harnessing this data to revolutionize battery charging and discharging algorithms. Not only could this optimize energy management, but it could also extend the battery lifecycle significantly. By precisely monitoring each battery's temperature, the system could intelligently control relays to connect or disconnect batteries, making charging and discharging more efficient—even as battery capabilities fluctuate with temperature changes.

The Challenges

• Advanced Monitoring and Control: Keep a vigilant eye on the charging and discharging processes of your battery systems.
• Data-Driven Insights: Acquire critical data to refine algorithms and perform in-depth analysis.
• Robust Performance in Harsh Environments: Operate seamlessly in high-temperature settings with efficient airflow cooling systems.

Our Solution

In our recent endeavor, we've identified the perfect trio to elevate energy storage system's performance: the ioLogik E1242-T, ioLogik E1260-T, and UC-8112-ME-T. Here's how these devices are making a difference:

🔹 The ioLogik E1242-T is adeptly handling monitoring and control with two DI and two DO channels, ensuring precise relay management. Its AI channels are crucial for tracking the current value of six-battery strings.

🔹 The ioLogik E1260-T, equipped with six RTD channels, expertly monitors battery temperatures, maintaining optimal performance.

🔹 Together, the compact and daisy-chain designs of ioLogik E1242-T and E1260-T easily integrate into our battery system, cutting the need for additional unmanaged switches.

🔹 The UC-8112-ME-T plays a pivotal role in logging historical data, enabling our system provider to devise the best charging/discharging methods over time.

Moreover, with a wide operating temperature range, all three models allow for a cost-effective airflow cooling solution, eliminating the need for costly HVAC systems. This innovation helps us streamline operations and optimize functionality!
