A commercial and industrial energy storage project involves many objects, including PCS, BMS, power distribution, fire protection, temperature and humidity, water leaks, smoke detection, access control, the network, and video. In energy storage scenarios, Tongwei Smart focuses on peripheral data access and operations management, and does not replace the core control system. There are many systems and many responsibility boundaries, and operations teams often have to switch among different platforms. As a result, some people propose building another "large and complete" control system, but that often brings new interfaces, new responsibilities, and new safety risks.
For many multi-site energy storage scenarios, what needs to be filled in is the layer of peripheral data access and operations management. That is, without replacing the existing core control and protection systems, gather equipment status, environment, and operating information that is authorized to be read, find offline, communication, environment, and alarm problems in time, and manage the handling process through work orders, inspections, and reports.
For this kind of scenario, Tongwei Smart can provide industrial gateways, acquisition modules, and the AIoT operations platform: connect smart meters, environmental instruments, distribution cabinets, temperature and humidity, water leaks, smoke detection, access control, and manufacturer-authorized PCS/BMS status or alarm information; manage multi-site data through edge caching and platform rules; and link alarms, notification, inspections, work dispatch, and monthly reports into a closed loop.
It must be emphasized that charge and discharge strategy, safety protection, fire interlocks, and core control of the energy storage system should remain the responsibility of the existing systems that hold the corresponding qualifications and certifications. In a project, Tongwei Smart provides services only within the agreed boundary of acquisition, analysis, and operations management. Specific interfaces and remote-control permissions need to be confirmed item by item.
Stating the boundary clearly does not weaken the solution. It lets the customer be more assured. First solve these high-frequency problems: which sites are offline, which alarms have not been handled, and which inspections have not been completed. Then arrange later optimization according to operations data. That is a sustainable path for multi-site energy storage operations.
