Watch and run every battery from anywhere. Control stays on site.
A cloud EMS is the remote layer of an energy management system (EMS) for BESS: fleet monitoring, dispatch scheduling, alerts and reports for every site, from one screen. Ingro EMS runs on site (offline), in the cloud, or as a hybrid, so the battery keeps operating even when the internet does not.
Three ways into Ingro EMS
A battery without an energy management system is hardware waiting for instructions. The EMS reads the plant, applies the order of priorities (device limits, reserve, tariff, grid code), sends setpoints to the power conversion system, and records every decision. Cloud or local, that loop is what turns a battery into an asset.
Dispatch matched to tariff windows, the demand ceiling or the grid schedule, every interval.
Device limits and interlocks re-checked on every control cycle, so the battery is never pushed past them.
Every dispatch, availability hour and command recorded for owners, lenders, auditors and the grid.
Any make of battery, inverter, meter or generator, added as configuration rather than new hardware.

Put Ingro EMS inside the batteries you build, or replace a locked or underperforming controller.
EMS for integrators and EPCsThe plant controller a tendered battery is paid against: dispatch, grid-code response and availability evidence.
EMS for grid-scale tendersDemand-charge shaving, time-of-day arbitrage and solar-plus-storage control for a plant or campus.
EMS for C&IMost BESS operators today rely on fragmented tools, manual site visits, and reactive maintenance. The result: missed revenue, preventable failures, and compliance headaches.
Without centralized monitoring, 30% of BESS issues go undetected until they cascade into downtime. A single cell overheating at 2 AM can take down an entire rack before anyone notices.
Manual inspection cycles mean the average issue goes undetected for 4-6 hours. By the time a technician arrives on site, revenue losses have already compounded.
CERC and SERC reporting requires painstaking manual data extraction. One missed filing can trigger penalties that wipe out a month of revenue.
Without remote dispatch control, even minor schedule changes require a technician on-site. Across a distributed fleet, O&M costs spiral out of control.
The control loop always lives at the site. What changes is how much of the monitoring, scheduling and reporting moves to the cloud. Pick a mode and cut the internet to see what keeps running.
Try cutting the connection to see what keeps running.
Ingro EMS is deployed on site (offline), in the cloud, or as a hybrid of the two. In on-site and hybrid deployments, site control continues with no internet connection.
Weighing the trade-offs? Cloud vs local EMS · Fleet cloud EMS
Six capabilities for operators, owners and lenders, delivered by the cloud layer on top of on-site control.
Every BESS site you run, on one screen: state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), power flow, temperature, revenue and alarm status. Colour-coded health on an interactive map takes you from the national fleet view to an individual cell in three clicks.
Change schedules, SOC limits and operating modes, such as arbitrage or peak shaving, without sending anyone to site. The cloud sends the command and the on-site controller applies it within device limits, so a mistyped setpoint cannot override a protection. Role-based permissions decide who may issue what.
Temperature excursions, voltage imbalance, current spikes, SOC-bound violations and communication loss are caught, ranked by severity and sent to the person who can act on them, then escalated if nobody acknowledges.
Regulatory and stakeholder reports generate themselves on schedule and land with the people who need them. No spreadsheet extraction, and every figure traces back to its raw source when a regulator or lender asks.
Ingro EMS is manufacturer-independent and register-map driven. It connects to PCS, BMS, meters, PLCs and utility SCADA over Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU over RS485, SunSpec, IEC 61850, DNP3 and OPC-UA, plus dry contacts, digital I/O and aggregator gateways. A model it has not met before is added as configuration, not new hardware.

Talk to an EMS engineerIngro is the EMS and SCADA technology partner at Tata Power-DDL's Rohini substation in Delhi.
The 10 MW / 10 MWh plant was commissioned in 2019 on a vendor-locked platform. Ingro took over its energy management and SCADA, adding real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and node-level fault diagnostics. The plant has been in service for more than six years; Ingro has run its EMS and SCADA for the last two.

The EMS does not work in isolation. It is the data foundation that powers every other layer of Ingro's AI Powered BESS platform.
Every data point the EMS captures, SOC, temperature, power flow, market price, grid signal, feeds directly into Ingro's Battery AI engine. Where the EMS gives you visibility, Battery AI uses that data to make autonomous optimization decisions: when to charge, when to discharge, how to maximize revenue while protecting battery health.
Explore Battery AIIngro EMS continuously records operational telemetry, cycle counts, depth-of-discharge patterns, thermal exposure, capacity fade measurements, and writes them into the immutable Battery Passport. This creates a complete lifecycle record for every battery, from commissioning to decommissioning, essential for warranty claims, regulatory compliance, and end-of-life valuation.

11 questions
A cloud EMS is the remote layer of an energy management system for battery storage. It gives operators fleet-wide monitoring, dispatch scheduling, alerts, analytics and automated reports for every site from one screen, while the control loop that actually operates each battery runs at the site.
An energy management system (EMS) for BESS is the control software that decides when a battery charges and discharges, within the limits of its batteries, inverters and grid connection, and records why. Ingro EMS also gives operators monitoring, dispatch scheduling, alarms and automated reports, on site, in the cloud, or both.
Yes, in on-site and hybrid deployments. The controller runs the plant from the plant room, so site control continues with no connectivity at all. The cloud connection serves fleet visibility, forecasting, re-optimisation, reporting and remote support, not the control loop.
Yes. Ingro EMS is supplied to BESS integrators, EPC contractors and developers to go inside the batteries they build, or to replace a locked or underperforming controller. See EMS for BESS integrators and EPCs for scope and integration.
Yes. The platform is manufacturer-independent and register-map driven. It integrates over Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU over RS485, SunSpec, IEC 61850, DNP3 and OPC-UA, plus dry contacts, digital I/O and aggregator gateways. A model not previously encountered is added as configuration, not as new hardware.
Yes. Ingro EMS is designed, built and supported in India by Ingro Energy. Ingro is the EMS and SCADA technology partner on India's first grid-scale BESS, the 10 MW / 10 MWh plant at Tata Power-DDL's Rohini substation in Delhi.
Choose local (on-site) if the site must run with no external connection or keep its data on the premises. Choose cloud for monitoring, scheduling and reporting across one site or a fleet. Choose hybrid if you want both: control that keeps running through an outage, plus a remote view of every site. Ingro EMS supports all three.
Either, or both. Ingro EMS is deployed on site (offline), in the cloud, or as a hybrid of the two. In on-site and hybrid deployments, site control continues with no internet connection. The cloud layer adds fleet-wide monitoring, dispatch scheduling, analytics and reporting across one site or many.
Control always happens at the site. In a hybrid deployment the on-site controller runs the plant and the cloud sits on top of it: operators set schedules and limits in the cloud, the on-site controller applies them within device limits, and telemetry flows back for fleet dashboards, alerts and reports.
Yes. Grid-scale BESS tenders are judged on dispatch compliance, grid-code response and availability evidence, which is what the EMS records. Control response is specified per project — sub-millisecond, 4 ms, 10 ms or 20 ms — to match the grid code, the connection agreement or the client's own requirement. Check your tender document for the exact requirements.
Yes. The EMS generates regulatory-format reports such as CERC, SERC and SLDC on a schedule, as PDF or XLSX, with every figure traceable to its source data.
