Overview
The Core Real-Time Data is a Certified Product Point Template for Energy Storage Sites that defines required normalized real-time performance calculations that scale, or transform several of the points in the Core Real-Time Data (PCS). These points are required for the Bazefield installation to function properly across all core applications.
These calculations specifically translate OEM-specific signals into consistent indicators of operational state, availability, communication status, and event conditions. By abstracting vendor-specific complexities, the Core Real-Time Data enables unified fleet monitoring, reduces configuration overhead, and supports consistent reporting and alarm management across heterogeneous energy storage sites technologies.
The Core Real-Time Data template defines 7 data streams for Energy Storage Sites. These include meter-derived aggregations of site-level power and grid measurements, as well as setpoint and budget inputs.
Template Definition
The Core Real-Time Data is defined below. Calculations are one of the following types:
Scale Equations — Algebraic or logical manipulations of input data done on the Bazefield edge buffer
Online Expressions — Algebraic or logical manipulations of input data done on the central Bazefield data engines (typically on a storage node). Similar to scale equations in purpose, but done in the centralized architecture.
Interval Expressions — Algebraic, logical, or advanced manipulations of input data done within a pre-defined aggregation interval (e.g. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, etc). These are typically done centrally on a storage node.
Details on the Point Names, Descriptions, and Types are below.
Required for Bazefield Core Dashboard functionality
Optional for common additional data streams/sources
