Process overview

From battery to bank in four steps

No energy trading desk. No manual monitoring. No price watching at 3am. encosa handles market participation automatically — from hardware handshake to monthly revenue report.

01

Connect your battery system

encosa connects to your BESS via Modbus TCP/RTU, RS-485, SunSpec profile, or direct vendor API. No new hardware required — the edge agent runs on an industrial mini-PC installed alongside your battery management system.

AI reads the market every 15 minutes

Every quarter-hour, the model ingests EPEX SPOT prices, FCR tender signals from ENTSO-E, and your site’s load profile. It models a 4-hour forward price window and determines the optimal dispatch strategy — charging, discharging, idling, or holding SOC for FCR.

Automated dispatch — no human needed

Dispatch commands travel from the cloud AI to your on-site edge agent over an encrypted TLS connection. The edge agent issues Modbus commands to the battery inverter within 60 seconds of a market signal. You are never in the loop — unless you want to be.

Safety rules are hardcoded into the edge agent: never dispatch below 20% SOC, respect inverter C-rate limits to protect battery warranty, handle grid disconnection gracefully. The cloud AI cannot override these limits.

Safety constraints · always enforced

SOC floor 20% · max C-rate per vendor spec · grid disconnect safe-state · FCR SOC band 40–60%

Revenue shows up in your dashboard

Monthly revenue is broken down by stream — FCR tender earnings, EPEX SPOT arbitrage, and Leistungspreis savings — in both the web dashboard and the automated monthly PDF report. XLSX export is available for energy auditors and Betriebskosten documentation.

Monthly report
PDF sent on 1st of each month. FCR, spot, and peak-shaving revenue itemized.
XLSX export
Full dispatch history. Compatible with Betriebskosten audit formats.
