Greensmith specializes in the operating system and software controls necessary for battery deployment.
The Greensmith Battery Operating System Gen III (BOS3) includes the following firmware:
- Battery Management System (BMS) which monitors, balances and protects battery cells.
- Power Management which controls power input and output on demand, both real power and reactive power.
- Energy Management which supports DESS applications such as peak shaving, renewable integration and load following.
- Remote Communication which supports TCP/IP based remote control interfaces such as Modbus and Web Services.
BOS3 is built on an open information architecture modeled after the “Open Automation Demand Response Standard” approved by the Department of Energy. This event-based asset management architecture easily integrates into any utility framework. Average installation time is under three hours.
End-users have access to the BOS3 software through an online web-portal interface. This interface provides users with central control and highly flexible distributed deployment, tailoring DESS groups to specific applications (i.e. frequency regulation, PV load following) while still retaining the ability to centrally control any or all of the units.
A unique set of algorithms run the software package for each end-user application (i.e. frequency regulation, PV load following). See more about the turn-key software packages available here.
The BOS3 also supports extended logic for customizable application solutions.
