📦 What’s inside the box?

We have auto-generated a comprehensive industrial platform for you:

• 🎛️ SCADA Dashboard: A high-fidelity interface for visualizing energy flow, monitoring Batteries health, and controlling Generators.
• 🤖 Modbus Emulator: A complete Docker environment simulating 7 distinct devices (Solar panels, Wind turbine, etc.), allowing you to see the solution in action immediately.
• 🧮 Smart Calculations: 12 pre-configured Calculated Fields that derive complex metrics like Average 3-Phase Voltage, Net Battery Flow, and System Overload automatically.
• 🚨 System Alarms: Over 30 automated rules that trigger on critical events, such as Solar panels overheating, high discharge current, or Power transformer overload.
• 📡 Auto-Configured Gateway: The solution automatically configures the Energy management gateway to communicate with energy assets using the Modbus protocol.

🌟 Why use this template?

• ⚡ Holistic Visibility: Fragmented systems hide inefficiencies. This solution brings Solar panels, Wind turbine, Batteries, and Grid data into a single pane of glass for total situational awareness.
• 🔋 Active Control: Don’t just watch — act. The dashboard allows you to remotely toggle generators, switch inverter modes, and manage battery storage to respond to peak demand.
• 🧠 Intelligent Metrics: Raw data isn’t enough. The system uses Calculated Fields to automatically compute complex metrics like 3-Phase Averages and System Overload status, giving you actionable insights instantly.

✨ Key Features

• Unified SCADA View: Consolidate data from 7 distinct subsystems (Generation, Storage, Conversion, Load) into a real-time command center.
• Smart Alarming: Includes 30+ pre-configured alarm rules covering everything from Generator fuel levels to Wind turbine rotor speed.
• Power Quality Analysis: Monitor granular data points like Input/Output Voltage and Frequency across the Power transformer and Inverter to ensure grid compliance.

🌍 Real-World Applications

This template serves as a robust foundation for various sectors:

• 🏭 Industrial Plants: Optimize on-site generation and manage peak loads to reduce energy costs.
• 🏢 Commercial Buildings: Monitor backup power systems (Generators/Batteries) to ensure business continuity.
• 🏘️ Smart Microgrids: Balance renewable inputs (Solar/Wind) with storage capacity for sustainable off-grid operation.

🔌 How to connect real devices?

• IoT Gateway: The solution is designed to use the ThingsBoard IoT Gateway to connect Modbus TCP/UDP or RTU devices.
• Modbus Protocol: Direct integration with Inverters, Power Meters, and PLCs via Modbus Connector.
• MQTT API: Alternatively, integrate custom Energy Management Systems (EMS) using the MQTT Gateway API.
