Technology description

VCOM Battery Monitoring is a bookable technology option in VCOM for the management and monitoring of batteries in VCOM. It enables the use of battery data across the VCOM core application, unlocks battery-specific features, and enables the use of battery data across all activated VCOM modules.

Scope and purpose

Key features of VCOM Battery Monitoring include:

Activate the technology for selected systems within your portfolio.
Import battery data into VCOM, including VCOM API import & export.
Add batteries with a combined capacity greater than 30 kWh as a separate subsystem.
Assign your battery units to your battery PCS inputs for better evaluation.
Monitor your battery:
- Visualize battery data points or KPIs in standard and user-defined charts, as well as in portlets.
- Receive alerts for the state of charge of your battery or set up user-defined alarms triggered by battery values, resulting in tickets, CMMS work orders, and including automated ticket creation and alarm muting for battery values.
- Use battery data points in terms.

Target group

VCOM Battery Monitoring is intended for O&M managers who:

Manage PV systems with batteries:
- PV + BESS AC-coupled
- PV + BESS DC-coupled (hybrid inverters)
Manage battery stand-alone systems.

The technology is not needed for O&M managers who only operate an uninterruptible power supply (UPS, < 30 kWh).
