What are the main concerns in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)? One of the primary concerns with BESS is the risk of fire or thermal runaway, often caused by overheating, overcharging or faults in the system. Other challenges include voltage fluctuations and current surges, all of which can impact performance and safety and lead to equipment damage and downtime. At Impulse Embedded, we provide advanced monitoring and control solutions using I/O modules and data acquisition devices that integrate seamlessly with BESS, offering real-time monitoring, early warning detection, automated control responses and remote monitoring capabilities.
Why is secure computing & networking vital for sustainable energy integration? Secure systems are the backbone of green energy systems, ensuring safe data flow, control and coordination across devices. A cyber breach does not just risk data, it can cause downtime, equipment damage and safety risks. The IEC 62443-4-2 standard sets out technical requirements to protect OT components such as embedded computers, networking devices and applications. At Impulse, we partner with Moxa, offering solutions that are compliant or certified to this standard, helping customers build resilient and future-proof energy systems.
