Getting started

Adding a new project

Create a project in the Voltmasters platform and link an EMS controller to it, from the site details to the controller ID.

Before you start: the EMS controller is installed, powered on and connected to the internet. See EMS controller installation.

  1. Start a new project

    On the home screen, click Add new project.

  2. Enter project information

    Enter the project name and the address of the installation site. Choose a clear and unique name, for example Company HQ - Battery System.

  3. Configure grid capacity limits

    • Grid import capacity limit (kW): enter the maximum power that may be imported from the grid. This value is used for load limiting and peak shaving.
    • Grid export capacity limit (kW): enter the maximum power that may be exported to the grid. This is important for export limitation and PV curtailment.

    These limits should match the contractual or physical grid connection limits. Be sure to verify this in advance.

  4. Link the controller

    • Controller ID: enter the unique Controller ID of the EMS controller installed on-site. The Controller ID can be found on the device label.
The Add project form with the site details, the grid capacity import and export limits in kW, and the controller ID field.

Next steps

Next, add the devices of the installation: see Adding and verifying devices. Once commissioning is finished, the Voltmasters project engineers review the project: see Having a project validated.
