We have launched a strategic collaboration with Top NRG to implement industrial and commercial battery control (BESS) projects. The common goal is clear: to build scalable, commercially viable energy management solutions that provide real cost savings, grid flexibility, and operational reliability.
As the first step of the collaboration, we will integrate theCarya all-in-one energy storage systeminto theScepi Smart EMS, followed by the inclusion of theKamada battery system.We are already preparing several larger-scale projects based on these foundations – shopping malls, industrial facilities, and corporate environments.
Why is this collaboration important?
Industrial energy storage alone is not enough. The real value is created where the battery:
makes decisions based on real-time data,
adapts to tariffs, grid constraints, and business objectives,
is capable of collaborating with external systems, VPPs, and EMSs.
In this, the hardware and system-side experience of Top NRG complements the software and regulatory logic of Scepi Smart EMS.
The Carya system – what do we know today?
Carya is a high energy density BESS solution designed for industrial use, with built-in PCS and advanced protection system. It is crucial for us thatit provides open, Modbus TCP-based communicationso it can be deeply integrated into the Scepi Smart EMS.
In our joint developments, we build on the following strategic capabilities.
Basic strategies (Basic features)
Minimise Feed-in
Preventing or minimizing feed-in based on network and business considerations.
Peak Shaving (with fixed rules)
Limiting peak power with predefined thresholds and grace periods.
Time of Use strategies
Time-based energy management optimized from monitoring data and consumption patterns.
Advanced strategies (Pro features)
Generator Control
Controlling external generators in hybrid systems, using the battery as a stabilizer.
Load Control
Consumption control based on tariffs and peak power for flexible loads (EV chargers, HVAC, industrial machines).
Backup Power
UPS-like operation in case of power outages, to protect critical consumers.
Off-grid Power Supply
Fully independent operation from the grid, island mode.
Standardized protocol for 3rd party VPP/EMS systems
External regulation and data reading through industrial standards.
Peak Shaving Pro – Dynamic Smoothing
Continuous monitoring of the rolling average of the 15-minute settlement period and active intervention to comply with the contracted peak power.
Currently unused but planned directions (Holding off)

Hardware that supports it
The Carya 261 kWh systems are built on LFP semi-solid state cells, with an 8000 cycle lifespan, a planned operational life of over 10 years, industrial liquid cooling, IP55 protection, and an integrated fire protection system. The 125 kW internal PCS, high system efficiency, and comprehensive protection features make them suitable for industrial, commercial, and critical infrastructure environments.
What's next?
This collaboration is not about a single product. We are building amodular energy management ecosystemthat:
can be quickly implemented on a small scale,
is scalable for large projects,
is ready for grid services and VPP integration.
In the coming months, we will present live pilots, followed by larger-scale projects. If you have industrial, commercial, or complex energy challenges, this direction will solve them.
