Four main control systems were incorporated that consisted of an energy farm controller (responsible for managing the operation of the energy farm to process AC energy), a battery management system, a battery conditioning system and a low-level controller (which managed battery IO). All controllers involved both Linux real-time components and an FPGA. An object-orientated architecture was used for each system. Multiple protocols were used including CAN, Modbus, rest, OPC, serial and ethernet. • Developed a cloud-based data infrastructure for remote monitoring field-based systems, visualizing data and analyzing larger performance-based data sets. • Instrumental in the deployment of the Company’s system commercially to customers that included governmental entities and multi-national companies. Served as the main interface for implementation of the system on premise and on-going functionality. • Managed the relationship for key software vendors of the Company, including negotiating contracts and overseeing successful delivery of services.
