UniEnergy Technology develops a highly scalable automated control system for energy storage in the multi-megawatt range with Siemens.

Integrate key components from the Siemens Totally Integrated Architecture (TIA) portfolio, with software engineering via the TIA Portal, along with Siemens WinCC SCADA software and small Siemens variable frequency drives. They chose Siemens for several reasons – one being its Totally Integrated Architecture (TIA) portfolio of highly integrated automation and control components based on global industry standards. Another big attraction was the Siemens TIA Portal. The software engineering framework saved weeks of engineering time by providing libraries of proven software code.

“With the TIA Portal and the Siemens TIA control platform, we can forget all the protocols, drivers and memory management issues that we’d have to code, then compile, test, debug, recompile and on and on. This lets me keep a small, efficient team that just focuses on battery logic. That’s our value-add, not all that other effort.”
