Meet ECO, the Energy Controller Optimizer
ECO, the Energy Controller Optimizer by Atlas Copco, is the brain of Atlas Copco's energy storage systems. This human-machine interface (HMI) provides operators with full control over their temporary power applications by optimizing energy generation, distribution, and consumption through advanced data management.
A future-proof approach to optimized energy supply
Microgrids
Energy storage systems are the heart of battery-based microgrids, and thanks to Atlas Copco's in-house developed EMS, the ECO ControllerTM, they enhance scalable and decentralized systems with several energy inputs. These microgrids are independent power networks that use local, distributed energy resources to provide grid backup or off-grid power to meet local electricity needs.
Enabling the combination of several energy sources, the heart and the brain —an energy storage system and ECO— help rental companies and operators to deploy flexible power, decarbonizing operations and achieving significant fuel, energy and lifecycle savings.
Why ECO?
- It is the brain that orchestrates energy sources with a demand side craving cleaner solutions
- Fully flexible and customizable, allows users to gain control and optimize their temporary power application
- Provides remote control and is open to communicate with third party monitoring systems
Versatility
- Highly compatible, with a dedicated interface for the rental industry
- Manages different energy sources —renewables, the grid and power generators— to efficiently match the load demand
- Facilitates the scalability of battery-based solutions with its paralleling capabilities
- Enables operators and end-users to build energy efficient solutions for different applications and changing scenarios
What does it do?
- Human-machine interface (HMI) that controls the sources of energy feeding the solution, the state of the batteries and the load demand
- Ensures consistent operations and optimal performance of the entire installation, enabling operators to minimize downtime
- Reduces the environmental footprint of any battery-based solution, always making sure that the load is fully covered.
Flexible & Consistent Software
- In-house development, with manual and automated controls
- Seamless user experience, configurable settings in multiple languages and a match for versatile applications
- Real time health monitoring, downtime reduction and optimized energy management, which translates into improved productivity
Connected
- Customer-oriented: provides performance data so operators can take any immediate corrective action
- Regardless of the AC input source, ECO communicates with all of them to increase operational efficiency
- Monitors and protects main components, such us inverters, batteries, solar chargers, and heaters, offering optimal performance and extended lifetime
- ECO is connected to Fleetlink, Atlas Copco’s cloud-based fleet monitoring portal
