Battery storage (BESS) integration
C-Battery Cbat-IQ under smart control
The C-Battery Cbat-IQ combines the inverter and the battery management in a single commercial and industrial storage system. Voltmasters EMS turns it into an earning asset: market-driven charging and discharging, peak shaving and self-consumption optimisation.
Supported devices
- Cbat-IQ
The Cbat-IQ, with the inverter and the battery management in one unit. Set the system to remote control, because in local mode it ignores the setpoints from the EMS.
What the EMS gets out of your C-Battery installation
- Trade on the imbalance market and dynamic prices, quarter hour by quarter hour
- Peak shaving: keep peak power and capacity tariff under control
- Maximise self-consumption together with PV and EV chargers
- Fluvius telecontrol and grid compliance, certification included
- Real-time monitoring with automatic incident detection
Why installers combine C-Battery and Voltmasters
C-Battery delivers the storage, Voltmasters adds the intelligence. The system speaks standard SunSpec Modbus TCP, so no brand-specific adapter is needed on the controller. Installations with several battery banks are detected automatically and configured per bank. The Voltmaster Controller runs the optimisation locally, even without internet.
How it works
How your C-Battery connects to the EMS
Voltmaster Controller in the cabinet
The industrial DIN-rail controller sits next to the installation and runs the optimisation locally, even without internet.
Connect over the local network
You connect the device following the step-by-step guide in our documentation. We assist with commissioning on your first project.
Configure and go live
The installation appears in the platform: dashboards, control and monitoring are active right away.
FAQ
Questions about the C-Battery integration
Which C-Battery system does Voltmasters support?
The Cbat-IQ. Installations with several battery banks are detected automatically and you enter the capacity per battery.
What can the EMS do with a Cbat-IQ?
Market-driven charging and discharging, peak shaving, self-consumption and grid compliance, controlled from a single platform.
Does the system keep working when the internet drops?
Yes. The Voltmaster Controller runs the optimisation locally in the cabinet. If the connection drops, control, peak shaving and the safety limits simply stay active.
How do I connect a C-Battery Cbat-IQ to the EMS?
The Voltmaster Controller connects to the device over the local network. The step-by-step instructions are in our documentation, and as a certified partner we guide your first commissioning from start to finish.
