What is an Operating Schedule?

An operating schedule allows you to define how and when your Energy Storage System (ESS) operates based on a fixed schedule that provides programmatic control over the system’s operation. The schedule is predefined and does not dynamically respond to changing conditions or real-time data. Instead, it relies on user defined operating modes to determine when the ESS should be charging, discharging, or idle, giving programmatic control over system behavior.

ETB Controller relies on operating schedules to determine battery behavior while Acumen AI optimizes the ESS based on revenue, bill savings opportunities and the selected optimization strategy (Energy Arbitrage, Demand Charge Management and Stacking).
