We speak your SCADA's language from day one.
Cellanchor acts as a DNP3 master station or IEC 61850 client — no firmware changes to your inverter or PCS required. We ingest real-time telemetry, day-ahead LMP from ISO OASIS feeds, and 48-hour ambient temperature from NWS into a single analytics pipeline. Your SCADA continues operating as-is.
Hardware integrations out of the box.
Native protocol drivers for the major BESS inverter and power conversion system vendors deployed in utility and C&I sites today.
Industrial protocol support.
Native drivers — not wrappers. Cellanchor maintains its own protocol implementations for deterministic polling and low-latency telemetry ingestion.
Distributed Network Protocol 3. The dominant North American utility SCADA protocol. Cellanchor operates as DNP3 Master, supports secure authentication (IEEE 1815 SA), unsolicited reporting, and multi-drop serial configurations. IEEE 1815-2012 compliant.
International substation automation standard. GOOSE messaging and MMS reporting with logical node models (ZBAT, MMXU, GGIO). Required for utility-scale BESS interconnection agreements in ISO-NE, ERCOT, and many CAISO projects.
Most common C&I and mid-market BESS protocol. Both TCP (Ethernet) and RTU (serial RS-485) variants supported. Configurable register maps per vendor.
Open alliance model for inverter and storage communications. SunSpec Model 124 (storage) and Model 126 (storage control) fully supported.
Controller Area Network. Primarily used for BMS-to-inverter communication in integrated BESS enclosures. Supported for CATL and BYD internal telemetry.
HTTP REST with JSON payloads for cloud-connected BESS platforms (Tesla Megapack API, Fluence API). OAuth 2.0 token auth, configurable polling intervals.
