Fully Vertical Controls. This is Fractal’s standard scope. This configuration allows you to choose separate battery and BOP equipment, ideal for Containerized Battery Suppliers without a local or unit controller. Fractal provides:

  • Controls: This includes all equipment (Unit Controllers, Site Controller, Main Plant Controller). Fractal can follow a command (ISO, Utility), create a command (droop, demand response) or follow a combo.
  • Integration: Design, drawings, Control Narrative, test plans, troubleshooting
  • Networking: Fractal designs, installs, configures and tests the network. Fractal will design the IP schema and configure the VLANs. Fractal recommends using managed switches to increase cyber security.
  • SCADA: Fractal installs and configures the RTACs necessary to communicate offsite (ISO, Utility) and onsite (meters, transformers, breakers). Fractal coordinates the points list for the SCADA equipment.
  • Fractal Cloud: This can be hosted on-site or off-site. It includes Dashboard/HMI (with the ability to prohibit off-site controls), Historian, Reporting, Predictive Failures, Bid Optimization.

Select from any brand of Containerized Battery to include: American Battery Systems, ATL, CATL, CLOU, EVE Energy, Gotion, Hithium, Kore Power, Lichen, LGES, PATL, REPT, Samsung, etc.

Select from any brand of storage inverters to include: DynaPower, EPC Power, Ingeteam, Kehua, LG Electronics, LSIS, Power Electronics, SMA, Sungrow, TMEIC, WEG, etc.

Vertical Equipment Suppliers with Local Controls. This option removes unit level (inverter, batteries, thermal management, fire system) communication and coordination, but Fractal normally retains controls. The Supplier data points are captured by Fractal’s Historian. Otherwise, Fractal EMS provides the remainder of our normal scope.

Select from any BESS Equipment Vertical to include: GM, LG Electronics, LSIS, Sungrow, SYL/Risen, Trina Storage, etc.

Select from any brand of storage inverters to include: DynaPower, EPC Power, Ingeteam, Kehua, LG Electronics, LSIS, Power Electronics, SMA, Sungrow, TMEIC, WEG, etc.

Vertical Equipment Suppliers with Site Controls. This option removes unit level (inverter, batteries, thermal management, fire system) and site level communication and coordination, Fractal issues a site level power command. The Supplier’s site controller decides how to distribute power between the units. The Supplier data points are captured by Fractal’s Historian. Otherwise, Fractal EMS provides the remainder of our normal scope.

Select from any BESS Equipment Vertical to include: Tesla, Powin Energy, etc.

PV+S (Solar + Storage). This option leverages the Fractal Master Plant Controller (MPC) to coordinate between solar and storage. This option has a lot of flexibility:

  • PV controls: Fractal or 3rd party
  • BESS controls: any of the options above
  • Fractal can provide Solar Only controls as well
