The Cirrus Flex product combines a cloud-hosted service in combination with grid-edge technology to manage BESS. This allows asset owners and their operators to optimize BESS operation across multiple markets.

Problem
The role and value of BESS to the grid and market is growing. BESS offers the opportunity to bridge the gap between periods of high renewable generation output and times of the day or week when electricity consumption and energy prices are high. Owning & operating DER has become more complex because operators need to go after a wider range of market opportunities, charge and discharge scheduling is moving closer to real-time, the need to leverage data is growing and operators need to limit downtime with asset management.
It’s for these reasons that more customers need an independent technology partner to facilitate their revenue stacking, manage interfaces to multiple route-to-market providers, provide real-time insights through monitoring & visualization and help them leverage their data.

Solution
Cirrus Flex provides the underlying platform for control and management of batteries with the integration to grid and market systems required to effectively optimize asset operation. Cirrus Flex provides the configurability to embed the battery and interface systems capabilities into the algorithms that optimally schedule and dispatch the assets. This enables a wide array of battery systems, grid and market mechanisms and objectives to be successfully delivered.
Cirrus Flex also provides the most advanced optimization engines and mathematical program solvers available. These are used to deliver a rolling window of optimized dispatch schedules based on forecasts, energy prices, asset capabilities and the revenue generating services that are to be delivered. Cirrus Flex includes the capability to update these schedules manually or automatically based on real-time operating point and dynamic grid and market states. Automatic optimal schedule creation is crucial to reduce manual operator intervention requirements for larger fleets, 24/7 operation and complex grid and market environments. The operator interface provides schedule and dispatch interaction, system operation and health monitoring as well as controls for trading operations.
