Overview
The Core Real-Time Data is a Certified Product Point Template for Battery Racks that defines the standardized, minimum set of telemetry (e.g. time series points) Bazefield recommends for real-time monitoring of all battery racks. These points ensure consistent data collection, improve interoperability across assets, and enable accurate reporting and analysis across your portfolio.
This point template provides a reliable baseline of real-time data expected from each Battery Rack modeled in Bazefield. The purpose is to:
Ensure consistent naming and normalization of critical telemetry available on all makes and models of battery racks
Streamline configuration for SCADA or historian data ingestion
Support cross-site and cross-technology data normalization
The Core Real-Time Data template defines 14 standard data streams for Battery Racks. Battery Racks represent individual battery strings or modules within a Battery Container, providing granular cell-level telemetry and contactor/fault status.
Template Definition
The Core Real-Time Data template contains standard data streams for Battery Rack SCADA data. Details on the Point Names, Descriptions, and Types are below. The Core Real-Time Data template specifically holds all the critical “raw” data expected from all Battery Rack SCADA systems.
Minimum Requirements: In most modern battery racks, there will be a significant number of points available beyond this list which are vendor or SCADA specific. This list represents the minimum, common list of critical data often available in ALL vendors and SCADA systems. Many of the points below are used directly in Bazefield core functionality, or core performance calculations.
Required for Bazefield Core Dashboard functionality
Optional for common additional data streams/sources
