Our EMS supports battery systems from C-Battery.

C-Battery supplies commercial and industrial battery energy storage systems built around an integrated power conversion system (PCS) and battery management system (BMS).

### Supported devices

-   **Cbat-IQ**: integrated commercial/industrial battery system (PCS + BMS)

The C-Battery system connects over a standard **SunSpec Modbus TCP** interface, so no brand-specific adapter is required on the controller. Systems with several battery banks are supported: each bank is detected automatically and its **capacity is entered per battery** during setup.

> **Warning**
>
> The C-Battery system must be set to **Remote control** so it accepts the EMS setpoints. In local mode the system ignores the EMS and an incident is raised.

### EMS functionality

With the current integration, our EMS enables:

-   Monitoring of battery status and performance
-   Smart charging and discharging control
-   Optimization of self-consumption
-   Peak shaving and load balancing

Additional functionality may be added over time as integration capabilities evolve.
