The Pixii Gateway is a built-in powerful controller, enabling you to connect with, monitor, and control all components within the system, as well as external sensors and other hardware at your site.
The Pixii Gateway allows you to configure a wide range of services, monitor and optimize performance, collect energy data, manage alarms, and take part in the energy flexibility market to open new revenue streams. It runs on Pixii OS, giving you full flexibility with MQTT and Modbus protocols, allowing you to integrate with 3rd party management software and connected hardware. The Pixii Gateway can act as an individual controller, or as a master, controlling a cluster of Pixii cabinets as one.
The Pixii Gateway is the controller and communication hub for all Pixii systems. It communicates securely with all elements within the system and the outside world for system monitoring and advanced control, enabling both local flexibility and the opportunity for coordination and flexible fleet management.
With built-in services and the ability to set priority and scheduling of services, Pixii Gateway provides full control over your Pixii Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Whether you want to use it for peak shaving, PV self-consumption, arbitrage, grid or voltage support, or flexibility markets, your Pixii BESS will always be ready for optimal performance.
Pixii Gateway enables secure integration with on-site and off-site Energy Management Systems (EMS), site controllers, and third-party equipment such as EV chargers, meters, and more.
- Services: Demand response, power control, Target State of Charge (SoC), peak shaving, adaptive peak shaving, voltage support, ancillary services
- Communication Interfaces: RS-485, CAN bus, Ethernet, Wi-Fi access point (for local configuration), USB, 4G is available as an option through USB
- Communication Protocols: Modbus/RTU, Modbus/TCP, TCP/IP, MQTT, HTTPS and CAN
- Battery Control: The Pixii Gateway can communicate with different types of batteries via CAN or Modbus/RTU
- Thermal Management: Heater, Fans, and AC control options available
- Peak shaving: Reduce your demand charges and save costs by shaving the peaks of your power consumption.
- Arbitrage: Support loads from the battery when electricity rates are high and charge the battery when electricity rates are low.
- PV self-consumption: Get the most out of your solar investment and reduce your dependency on the grid through smart power management, enabling you to direct excess energy to batteries for later use during peak hours.
- Local power boost: Increase maximum available power capacity by adding smart energy storage systems in parallel with the grid. In locations with temporary overloads, energy storage systems can cover the overload and avoid grid upgrades.
- Voltage support: Enables grid operators (DSO’s/DNO’s/DNSP’s) to enhance quality of supply on long weak lines significantly. Unique functionality for voltage-based phase balancing active/ reactive power compensation.
- Balance services/ Flexibility markets: Unlock the value of your battery energy storage system and monetize your system’s flexibility by offering available capacity to ancillary services like FFR, FCR, standard ramp FCAS services and more.
