Battery management
The platform allows interacting with battery systems linked to a supply point through the Connect API.
important
Battery information (e.g. capacity, SOC history) is available for all users, but battery control actions (such as charging or discharging commands) are only available for users who have connected their system and granted permission via Huawei OAuth integration. We are actively working to support additional inverters in the near future.
What you can do via API
Through the API, you can:
- Monitor the battery's power in real time, including current charging or discharging power (kW) and historical power data over a specified time range.
- Access static battery information, such as total capacity (kWh) and maximum charging and discharging power (kW).
- Retrieve the battery's state of charge (SOC) within a defined time range, enabling historical visualization and monitoring.
- Program battery charging and discharging operations, by sending a list of scheduled actions specifying the time which the action shuld occur and a target state of charge. Once the scheduled time arrives, the system will automatically execute the corresponding command. The action will end when the battery reaches the specified
targetSOC, or another scheduled action starts (whichever comes first).
This allows remote battery control aimed at energy optimization, for examplee charging during low-tariff periods, discharging during peak-price hours, or enhancing solar self-consumption.
Use cases enabled
- Smart charging strategies
- Real-time and historical SOC monitoring
- Cost savings through dynamic battery control
- Integration with user-facing dashboards and automation
