If your manufacturer or control platform is new to us, we will add the control integration free of charge—so you are not penalised for equipment we have not seen before.
Operational outcomes
Infrastructure software—not installer marketing
Four outcomes operators care about. One EMS platform behind them.
BESS · solar · CHP · EV
Control every asset
BESS, solar, CHP, EV charging, and generators orchestrated from one operational layer with real-time telemetry.
G99 · G100 · export caps
Stay grid compliant
G99/G100 alignment, export limits, and DNO coordination enforced in software—not spreadsheets after energisation.
Fleet · portfolio · SLA
Operate at fleet scale
Multi-site telemetry, aligned dispatch, and portfolio reporting for operators running dozens of UK assets.
ArcGrid EMS platform
Operational intelligence for every asset
Time-of-use, forecasts, export limits, fleet dispatch, and alerts—on dashboards operators actually use.
Time-of-use (TOU) optimisation
Align import, storage, and dispatch with time-of-use tariffs—charge when power is cheap, discharge or load-shift when it is expensive, automatically.
Solar export & zero-export control
Manage export to grid and zero-export regimes—stay within DNO limits while maximising self-consumption and safe export when allowed.
Solar & wind predictions
Forecast solar and wind output so BESS dispatch, trading, and grid applications are based on what generation will do—not just what it did yesterday.
On-site loss accounting
Calculate losses and auxiliary power used by the system on site—so reported performance, supplier data, and commercial models reflect real net energy, not optimistic gross figures.
BESS supplier & asset coordination
Connect forecasts, limits, and operational data to BESS suppliers and integrators—one coherent dataset for sizing, warranty, and performance discussions.
Solar grid applications end-to-end
Support solar teams putting forward DNO grid connection requests—with technical data, export assumptions, and EMS configuration aligned to what gets approved.
End-to-end delivery
From site assessment to live EMS
Grid applications and DNO compliance are part of the platform—not a separate consultancy slide.
01 Site assessment
Load, assets, and connection headroom modelled before capital commit.
02 Grid application
DNO submissions, connection offers, and reinforcement aligned to your EMS design.
03 Asset integration
BESS, solar, and generation commissioned with protocol-native control.
04 EMS optimisation
Live dispatch, export limits, trading, and fleet operations on one platform.
Fleet operations
Operate at fleet scale
Multi-site telemetry, aligned dispatch, and portfolio reporting—whether you run one BESS or dozens of UK assets.

Combined capacity
Across BESS, solar, and hybrid sites the team has worked on in aggregate

Lifetime energy produced
Individual sites whose cumulative generation has exceeded one gigawatt-hour (GWh)—energy delivered over operating life, not GW of nameplate capacity
Our engineers and operators built this experience in the UK energy sector across prior roles and organisations—not all under the ArcGrid EMS name alone.

FAQ
EMS, BESS, grid & DNO
Common questions from facilities and asset teams.
- What is energy management software?
- Energy management software (EMS) is a platform that monitors, controls, and optimises electricity across your sites. It connects generation, battery storage, grid import/export, and load so you can cut costs, improve resilience, and participate in energy markets from one system.
- How is an energy management system different from a BMS?
- A building management system (BMS) focuses on HVAC and facilities. An energy management system (EMS) focuses on power assets—BESS, solar, CHP, generators, wind, and grid connection—and commercial outcomes such as peak shaving, microgrids, and trading.
- Do you support single sites and fleet systems?
- Yes. We deliver energy management software for single-site BESS and EMS installations and for multi-site fleets—unified insights, control, and expert advice across your portfolio from one UK-built platform.
- What if our battery or inverter manufacturer is new to you?
- We support a very wide range of manufacturers. If your equipment is new to ArcGrid EMS, we will add the control integration free of charge—you are not charged extra simply because we have not integrated that OEM before.
- What alert and reporting channels do you support?
- Critical infrastructure alerts can go to SMS, email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, and other platforms via integrations. We also deliver scheduled daily, weekly, and monthly operational insights—not only alarms when something goes wrong.
- What optimisation does your EMS perform on site?
- Including time-of-use (TOU) optimisation, solar export and zero-export control, solar and wind predictions, on-site loss calculation, and coordination with BESS suppliers—plus DNO grid applications and live fleet or single-site control.
