Foundation Power uses an energy storage system (ESS) that is more efficient than the two current methods of local energy storage and release (AC coupling and DC to DC coupling) called DirectCore™ Technology. This proprietary method is a more efficient version of DC coupling, including the management and optimization of modules, as well as streamlining the flow of usable energy to create efficiencies heretofore unreached.

Foundation Power has partnered with PATHION Inc. because it has developed an energy storage system (ESS) that is more efficient than the two current methods of local energy storage and release (AC coupling and DC to DC coupling) called DirectCore™ Technology. This proprietary method is a more efficient version of DC coupling, including managing and optimizing modules and streamlining the flow of usable energy to create unreached efficiencies.

The DirectCore™ Energy Management System (EMS) is a unique and powerful system that reaches all renewable resources, inverters, battery storage, and the utility grid to deliver energy savings, ongoing energy resilience and security, and new-found revenue.

The DirectCore™ EMS operates at the heart of the Distributed Energy Resource (DER), providing system-level control, optimization, and monitoring of all electricity generation and storage assets. The DirectCore™ EMS open architecture enables fast integration of batteries and renewables into intelligent, responsive systems that react in real-time – optimizing for changing environmental, application, and system conditions.

The DirectCore™ Energy Management System (EMS) is a fully redundant system programmed to ensure the optimal functionality of your solution. With double redundant servers, power, and communication systems, the PATHION EMS will continue to operate through any power disturbances, weather, or failure scenarios. Using the latest Intel Server-class chipsets, DDR4 RAM, and Gigabit Ethernet speeds to ensure that the Energy environment is monitored and controlled on a real-time basis for its lifetime. Designed with future compatibility in mind and ready to implement the latest technologies in cyber-security to keep your energy system and data safe from hacking, the EMS uses the most powerful encryption methods with forward secrecy preventing access to data in the cloud or any other part of the internet. The EMS actively manages all access to your energy system using time-sensitive and tight privilege-controlled authorization and authentication, so only approved personnel can communicate with the system.

Energy AutoShift™
Designed with a modular architecture, the EMS software can layer applications with priority to take advantage of the right energy need at the right moment, allowing the system to choose from storage to sell energy throughout the day to maximize return on investment. In addition, the system is designed with the future of energy regulation in mind and complies with state and federal policies, including all current and upcoming incentives and regulations. This result is a system that ensures the highest payback over its lifetime.
