Fewer points of failure
Less hardware and fewer handoffs across the control chain.
-
Faster path to COD
Purpose-built integration reduces commissioning time and technical risk.
Architecture
Built for your growing portfolio
Standalone BESS
Hybrid PV + BESS
Standalone PV
On solar-only sites, PowerTrack PPC and SCADA handle plant control. PowerTrack EMS can be added when storage comes later.
EMS UI
One interface. Full site control.
See and control your entire site from one interface. The EMS UI gives operators full site visualization and control from one interface, eliminating the need for a standalone SCADA system at most sites.
Real-time adaptive monitoring
Add monitoring points on the fly, see device-level alerts and warnings, and access data at 1-second resolution.
Advanced scheduler
Schedule by time, priority, or control mode. Day-ahead SOC waypoints make sure batteries reach specific states of charge at precise times, and multiple setpoints blend into one output.
PID tuning with live visual feedback
Tune control modes remotely during commissioning and watch the response in real time, with no on-site tuning visit required.
Device-level site configuration
Configure devices, data points, and control settings directly from the UI.
Grid compliance view
Compare expected vs. measured values for voltage, frequency, power factor, ramp rate, and more.
Need SCADA? Our SCADA solution, built on Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform, is available when a utility or owner requires it.
Request A Demo of PowerTrack EMSControl modes and revenue stacking
Earn from multiple revenue streams at once
PowerTrack EMS prioritizes and runs multiple control modes at the same time, so one asset can serve the grid and the market together.
Control modes
12 control modes, four categories
- Frequency management
- Voltage management
- Power management
- System control
Markets
Market access from day one
PowerTrack EMS integrates with optimizers from day one, opening access to:
- Wholesale energy markets
- Ancillary services: FCR, aFRR/mFRR, frequency response, and voltage support
- Capacity markets
Hybrid functions
Get more from every solar + storage site
- Ramp rate control: Uses BESS to smooth PV output swings caused by changing cloud cover
- Curtailment recapture: Stores excess solar in the battery when generation exceeds export limits
- Power firming: Uses storage to maintain guaranteed power delivery despite solar intermittency
Priorities
Stack services without conflicts
Set the priorities that maximize your revenue. The EMS blends setpoints from multiple modes and dispatch sources into one output, so services run side by side without performance loss.
Grid compliance and cybersecurity
Built to pass interconnection and security reviews
Interconnection and security requirements often decide the purchase. PowerTrack EMS is built to meet them from day one.

Reliability and edge hardware
Field-proven hardware, redundant by design
Revenue depends on uptime. PowerTrack EMS runs on industrial hardware built for continuous operation, with redundancy at every layer that matters.
- Hot-standby EMS/PPC with automatic failover
- Redundant communication paths with no single point of failure
- UPS-backed power for uninterrupted control during grid events
- Weatherproof enclosure or rack-mounted configurations, with integrated UPS, network switch, and cell modem
- Preconfigured EMS and PPC libraries, assembled and tested in the U.S.
- DNP3, Modbus, OPC-UA, IEC 61850, and IEC 60870
Open architecture
Your assets. Your control. Your choice.
Your EMS should outlast changes in markets, optimizers, and contracts. PowerTrack EMS is built on open protocols and open APIs, so your hardware keeps working even if your software subscription lapses.
What happens if your software subscription lapses?
| Capability | Typical EMS | PowerTrack EMS |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware operation | No | Yes |
| Data access | No | Yes |
| Manual controls | No | Yes |
Open protocols, open APIs, and third-party integration, with data you can export anytime.
Works with your optimization strategy
Choose the operating model that fits your business. PowerTrack EMS handles local control either way.
Third-party optimizer
Connect your preferred optimization provider over DNP3, Modbus, OPC-UA, IEC 61850, or IEC 60870. PowerTrack EMS handles local control while your provider manages market strategy.
Self-managed via API
Run your own dispatch with direct API access to real-time data and control parameters, with no intermediary platform.
