This whitepaper brings clarity to how our energy management system (EMS), ETB Controller (formerly Acumen EMS), operates in the field to maximize economic value. Written specifically for the needs of solar and storage developers and host customers exploring behind-the-meter (BTM) storage, it explains how an EMS optimizes the intelligent dispatch of an energy storage system (ESS) and illustrates its real-world impact, making storage strategies more tangible and easier to evaluate.
