EPSherpa
EPSherpa is Energy Partners’ energy management system for commercial and industrial sites. It combines an on-site controller with monitoring software to coordinate photovoltaics, batteries, charging infrastructure and flexible loads. Energy Partners also develops and operates broader energy infrastructure, allowing the EMS to be delivered within an integrated site project. [2]
The entries below document published information against the eight assessment criteria. They distinguish stated capabilities from evidence needed for verification. No scores have been assigned.
Demonstrated innovation
EPSherpa combines forecast-based optimisation with real-time local control across several asset classes. Battery dispatch balances self-consumption, peak shaving, electricity prices and additional charging demand. [1]
Net savings and operational value
The controller targets self-consumption, tariff arbitrage and peak shaving. Advertised savings ranges are vendor estimates and require a site-specific baseline and full project costs. [1]
Grid capacity and flexibility control
Published functions include load shedding, grid-limit-aware PV control and battery charging support beyond connection capacity. Confirm the configured priorities for each installation. [1]
Interoperability across equipment brands
Energy Partners reports numerous device integrations and third-party API access. The actual charger, inverter, battery and load combination needs compatibility validation during project design. [1]
Reliability and recovery
Energy Partners states that control logic runs locally and continues through internet interruption. Monitoring includes alarms; restoration guarantees require the project’s service terms. [1]
Cybersecurity and data governance
The reviewed EPSherpa overview does not specify encryption, access-control roles, data location or a security certification. Request deployment-specific security documentation from Energy Partners. [1]
Installation, operation and user experience
A web portal provides live dashboards, historical analysis, exports and multi-site monitoring. Energy Partners’ charging projects include installation, commissioning and operational management services. [1] [3]
Support, lifecycle terms and portability
Charging infrastructure services include maintenance, spare parts and round-the-clock support. Confirm which obligations cover the EMS itself, plus software support duration and migration rights. [3]
