At Australian Control Engineering (ACE), we continue to deliver end-to-end SCADA system integration services for BESS in Australia, helping renewable energy developers and asset operators unlock real-time visibility, remote control, and performance optimisation.
In a recent live demonstration, our engineering team showcased how a fully integrated SCADA system enables seamless monitoring and control of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)—designed to support utility-scale solar infrastructure and grid services.
Demonstrating Real-World SCADA Integration for Energy Storage
The demonstration was conducted in a lab environment that replicates the operational conditions of a grid-connected solar and battery installation. Using simulated PCS, BMS, and transformer signals, our engineers configured a SCADA system that offers complete monitoring across all key assets in the energy storage stack.
From real-time state of charge tracking to thermal status alarms, the system offered full HMI visualisation, automated event logging, and secure remote access—showing exactly how BESS performance can be managed across dynamic grid conditions or dispatch schedules.
Energy Storage Monitoring Systems for Australian Solar Farms
For Australian solar farms, integrating energy storage is no longer optional—it’s essential for dispatch flexibility, grid stability, and FCAS participation. But the value of a BESS system is only fully realised when paired with a robust SCADA and monitoring solution.
Our SCADA platforms allow operators to view live performance data, manage fault events, and automate charge/discharge strategies based on load demand or grid pricing. With compliance built into every level of system design, ACE ensures that storage assets meet AEMO and DNSP operational standards while maximising availability and uptime.
Engineering Services That Support the Entire Project Lifecycle
ACE’s SCADA engineering services go beyond system deployment. We work with EPCs and developers from the earliest design phases, offering protocol selection (IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus), RTU/PLC configuration, HMI development, and integration with cloud-based reporting tools or third-party systems.
Our lab-based demonstration also included testing of control logic handshakes between SCADA and PCS inverters, BMS alert propagation, and redundant communication failover—essential features in large-scale BESS deployments across remote or mission-critical sites.
Why ACE for SCADA-BESS Projects in Australia?
With extensive experience in energy storage monitoring systems for Australian solar farms, ACE is a trusted integration partner for renewable energy developers and contractors. We understand the regulatory environment, utility interface standards, and the commissioning timelines that matter in fast-moving clean energy projects.
Our SCADA platforms are built to scale—capable of managing a single battery site or a fleet of assets spread across multiple states. We provide long-term support, remote diagnostics, and modular expansion pathways to align with evolving energy portfolios.
