Project Dashboard (EMS)

When you open a project, the default page is the EMS dashboard. It gives a real-time, at-a-glance view of the whole installation: how power is flowing right now, how the batteries and PV are being controlled, and the key performance figures for the site.

Use the Show details toggle at the top right to reveal extra information on the dashboard. The page header shows the project name, and the energy-flow diagram shows its last-update time.

Energy flow diagram

At the top, a live diagram shows how power moves through the installation, with the current power (in kW) on each link. It is updated continuously, so you can see at a glance whether the site is importing or injecting, and whether the batteries are charging or discharging. Typical nodes are:

  • Main grid connection: power exchanged with the grid (import / injection) at the connection point.

  • PV: current solar production.

  • Batteries: aggregate battery power (charging or discharging).

  • Residual consumption: the remaining site consumption not covered locally.

Key metric cards

A row of cards summarises the live state of the site:

  • Control mode: the active control strategy (for example local optimization / self-supply, or cost optimization) with a short description of what it does. See Control algorithms for the underlying logic.

  • Battery power: the current aggregate battery power, with a recent history chart.

  • Energy prices: injection and consumption prices (€/MWh) over time. These drive cost-optimized control.

  • Self-sufficiency & self-consumption: two percentages, namely how much of your consumption is covered by your own generation (self-sufficiency), and how much of your generation you use yourself instead of injecting (self-consumption).

  • Weather forecast: today's and tomorrow's outlook, to anticipate solar generation.

  • Site status: whether there are open incidents on the site (green = none). See Incident Management.

  • Battery SOC: a gauge with the aggregate state of charge of the batteries (%).

Latest control decisions

At the bottom, the dashboard lists the most recent decisions the EMS made, grouped per asset, so you can verify the controller is doing what you expect and troubleshoot when it is not:

  • Batteries: per battery / ESS, the commanded power and its status.

  • PV inverters: per inverter, the applied setpoint or limit and its status (for example no limitations or target reached).

Expand a row to see the detail and the reason behind that decision.
