According to a recent LinkedIn post from Elum Energy, the company’s ePowerControl PPC is being used as the control “brain” for a 3.4 MWp utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Chile. The post suggests the project is designed to support higher penetration of renewables while enhancing grid stability under varying operating conditions.

The LinkedIn post highlights that the system operates in two primary modes: Grid Prime Mode, in which the BESS provides active and reactive power support under normal grid conditions, and BESS Prime Mode, where the asset forms the grid in islanded operation by regulating voltage and frequency. Automated and manual reconnection back to Grid Prime Mode is presented as part of the architecture.
For investors, the described deployment points to Elum Energy’s attempt to position its ePowerControl platform in advanced grid-support and grid-forming applications, a segment that could benefit from growing renewable integration in markets such as Latin America. If replicated at scale, similar projects could expand the company’s addressable market in utility-scale storage control solutions and potentially strengthen its competitive standing among energy management system providers.
