UK-built EMS software for battery storage, solar, CHP, microgrids, and grid-connected commercial & industrial sites—manufacturing, logistics, industrial estates, and existing-BESS retrofit.
ArcGrid EMS is a UK-built energy management platform for manufacturing, logistics, industrial estates, and existing-BESS retrofit—battery storage, solar, and grid-connected assets.

Protocol-native integrations
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.
Interactive demo
Set up a UK industrial site (solar, BESS, CHP, grid limits and dispatch rules) and watch the dashboard respond. Switch Monitoring, Control and AI in the header to see the same three packages we sell. AI mode previews forecasts and pounds against a grid-only baseline. Live sites run rolling optimisation into Control. Free with a sign-up.

Sign up in under a minute. We only use your account to save your simulator configuration.
After sign-in you land on the simulator. Use Configure site to set location, assets, topology, and rules.
Run scenario playbooks to watch SoC rules fire instantly, track session savings vs a grid-only baseline, and review rule events on Reports.
EMS packages
Three packages, matching the simulator: Monitoring, Control, then AI. Start with visibility, add dispatch, then forecasts and a rolling schedule. Quoted per estate. There is no public list price.
01
BaseLive power, SOC, grid kW, alarms and reports. Dispatch does not change.
02
Includes MonitoringWrite dispatch rules for 30-minute tariff windows, peak shave, and export or import limits. Commission the site in the same EMS.
03
Includes ControlForecasts and a rolling schedule for net site value. A model does not run the plant.
Who it is for
ArcGrid EMS is for UK commercial and industrial power sites. New builds and existing-BESS retrofit: keep the batteries and inverters you already have; we layer monitoring, control, and optimisation on top.
Production peaks and TOU tariffs fight the same connection.
Shift load and BESS discharge around shift patterns, CHP, and peak windows so the factory stays inside import caps without stalling lines.
Warehouses add solar, BESS, and EV charging on a tight DNO offer.
Coordinate overnight charging, daytime solar, and yard load so export limits and demand charges do not surprise the morning departure.
Shared connections, mixed tenants, and export-limited solar.
One EMS for estate-level BESS and solar—enforce G100 caps, report per site, and dispatch for self-consumption instead of clipping.
The batteries are in; the EMS is fragmented, silent, or unused.
Retrofit ArcGrid EMS onto existing BESS, meters, and controllers. No rip-and-replace: clearer alarms, dispatch that actually fires, and £ vs a grid-only baseline on the same hardware.
Operational outcomes
Four outcomes operators care about. One EMS platform behind them.
30-min · TOU · demand
Charge and discharge on 30-minute tariff windows. Peak shave and export limits use the same dispatch rules.
BESS · solar · CHP · EV
BESS, solar, CHP, EV charging, and generators orchestrated from one operational layer with real-time telemetry.
G99 · G100 · export caps
G99/G100 export limits and DNO rules run in the EMS, not in a spreadsheet after energisation.
Fleet · portfolio · SLA
Multi-site telemetry, aligned dispatch, and portfolio reporting for operators running dozens of UK assets.
ArcGrid EMS platform
Time-of-use, forecasts, export limits, fleet dispatch, and alerts—on dashboards operators actually use.
Time-of-use (TOU) optimisation
Charge and discharge on 30-minute GB tariff windows. The optimiser then schedules import, storage, CHP and flexible load. Control sends the setpoints.
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
ML forecasts solar, wind, and site load from live telemetry so the optimiser plans on what generation will do—not only yesterday’s meters.
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.
Alerts & scheduled insights
Push critical infrastructure alarms and routine reports to the channels your team already uses—SMS, email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, or other platforms via webhooks.
Platform modules
The same modules operators use in ArcGrid EMS. AI forecasts and optimises; Control executes bounded setpoints. Safety-critical plant control stays on the OEM layer.
Site power, battery SOC, export headroom, and dispatch status on one operations view—with live session savings vs a grid-only baseline.
ML forecasts of solar, load, prices, and SOC so the optimiser plans ahead—then re-solves when actuals diverge.
Critical infrastructure events to SMS, email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, or webhooks—plus scheduled daily, weekly, and monthly insight digests.
ML predicts. Optimisation decides. ArcGrid controls. Rolling 24–48 hour schedules for net site value, with a P&L of what changed and why.
Baseline vs optimised cost, flex revenue, estimated degradation, and the plan in plain English—proof of net site value, not only charts.
Single-site detail or multi-site portfolio views with aligned rules, telemetry, and reporting across UK assets.
BESS, solar, CHP, generators, and wind coordinated from one EMS layer with protocol-native integration.
End-to-end delivery
Grid applications and DNO compliance are part of the platform—not a separate consultancy slide.
Load, assets, and connection headroom modelled before capital commit.
DNO submissions, connection offers, and reinforcement aligned to your EMS design.
BESS, solar, and generation commissioned with protocol-native control.
Live dispatch, export limits, trading, and fleet operations on one platform.
Fleet operations
Multi-site telemetry, aligned dispatch, and portfolio reporting—whether you run one BESS or dozens of UK assets.

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.
Deployments
UK industrial estate
Existing solar plus a new BESS under an export limitation scheme. The EMS holds DNO caps and lifts self-consumption and flexibility revenue.
Commercial portfolio operator
One view of SOC, alarms and tariff dispatch across all locations, instead of a dashboard per vendor.
