Industry Background

The global energy landscape is undergoing profound transformation. Rapid growth of clean energy has driven the energy storage market into an explosive expansion phase. Featuring high integration, flexible deployment and plug‑and‑play capability, energy storage containers have become critical infrastructure for new energy grid connection, power peak shaving and emergency backup power. Acting as a mobile “large power bank”, they quickly respond to power supply‑demand changes, improve grid stability and renewable energy consumption, and strongly support reliable operation of the energy system.

As energy storage projects scale up, safe operation and refined management have become industry priorities. Competition has shifted from pure equipment performance to an integrated contest of management efficiency, safety and O&M services. Integration of IoT, big data and wireless communication technologies provides robust technical support for remote monitoring and management of energy storage containers.

Pain Points

1. Severe Data SilosInside an energy storage container, devices including BMS, PCS, EMS, fire sensors, air conditioners/liquid cooling units, power meters and cameras use diverse protocols and interfaces, making centralized data collection and fusion extremely difficult.
2. Inefficient Manual O&MTraditional manual inspection and data recording involve heavy workload, low efficiency, high error rates and slow reporting. Monitoring blind spots lead to delayed response to thermal runaway, fire and other emergencies, creating major safety risks.
3. Lack of Intelligent AnalysisMassive operational data (battery parameters, power quality, environment data, fault signals) is underutilized, failing to support fault prediction, performance optimization and load strategy adjustment, limiting O&M efficiency and cost control.

Solution

WideIOT provides an integrated Energy Storage Container Remote Monitoring & Management Solution. By deploying industrial intelligent gateways, the solution connects all on‑site equipment: BMS, PCS, EMS, temperature/humidity/water leakage/smoke sensors, fire control PLC, air conditioner PLC/liquid cooling CDU, cameras and more.
It collects real‑time environment, battery, power quality and equipment status data, and uploads data via 5G/4G to the remote monitoring platform. The system delivers closed‑loop capabilities including centralized monitoring, intelligent alarm, remote control and data analysis, helping customers improve management efficiency and ensure energy storage safety.

Core Connected Equipment

• Battery & Power Equipment: BMS, PCS, EMS, power meters, circuit breakers, UPS, step‑up transformers, power distribution cabinets, grid‑connection cabinets, switch cabinets
• Thermal Management: air conditioners, fans, liquid cooling units (CDU)
• Environment & Fire Protection: smoke sensors, water leakage sensors, temperature & humidity sensors, gas detectors, fire alarm controllers, fire suppression systems
• Security & Auxiliary: lighting, access control, cameras

Key Functions

1. Full‑Protocol Data Collection & ConversionWideIOT industrial gateways support IO, serial and Ethernet ports. They connect southbound to PLC, Modbus, IEC101/103/104/61850, DL/T645 and other mainstream protocols, and northbound to Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA, IEC104 and standard protocols, completely eliminating data silos.
2. Industrial‑Grade ReliabilityGateways feature 9–35V wide voltage input, operating temperature ‑20°C to 70°C, EMC and extreme temperature certifications. They adapt to harsh outdoor environments (cold, heat, vibration) and support offline caching & retransmission to prevent data loss.
3. Remote Centralized MonitoringThe visual management platform displays real‑time location, quantity, model, status, alarms, work orders and camera feeds across all sites. It enables unified scheduling and remote inspection, greatly reducing on‑site labor.
4. Intelligent Fault AlarmsCustomizable alarm rules (overtemperature, overvoltage, abnormal gas concentration, fan failure, etc.) trigger instant notifications via WeChat, SMS or email for fast response and risk prevention.
5. Remote Control & LinkageOperators remotely issue commands via mobile or PC to start/stop or adjust fire equipment, power switches, air conditioners and fans, containing anomalies and minimizing losses.
6. Multidimensional Reports & Intelligent AnalysisThe system auto‑generates power reports (grid‑tied/consumed power, cumulative charge/discharge, peak‑valley strategy), alarm statistics and fault distribution. Big data analytics reveal degradation trends, predict failures and optimize charge‑discharge strategies for data‑driven decisions.
