Notifying Gridual
Gridual will require information about the EPSherpa EMS before they can control any assets.
This includes the EPSherpa EMS Serial Number, and the SiteID, which is the same as the Serial Number with '_site_0' appended at the end.
Add 'Gridual - Imbalance control' External Signal
In the next page, you have the option to include/exclude devices for remote control. Ensure to mark all checkboxes of devices you'd like to include.
Note
When using multiple batteries, they are aggregated into one (virtual) asset for Gridual.
'Gridual' is now set up on the EPSherpa EMS.
Tip
When Gridual External Control is added, the EPSherpa EMS algorithm has no control over the battery's behaviour.
Default Fallback
If no signal is received from Gridual for 2 minutes, control falls back to the local algorithm.
