Escape215-r specifications & downloads
Product Downloads & Technical Guides
Does the Escape-215-R support off-grid operation?
Yes, the Escape-215-R is fully capable of operating in off-grid scenarios. It is designed to supply power independently of the grid, making it suitable for remote locations, microgrids, and sites where grid reliability is limited. In off-grid mode, the system manages energy generation, storage, and load demand to maintain stable power delivery. The Escape-215-R can also integrate with renewable energy sources such as solar PV and backup generators, helping ensure continuous operation even when grid power is unavailable.
What is the switching time between on-grid and off-grid modes?
The switching time is configurable and can be either 20 milliseconds or 30 seconds, depending on the system setup and operational mode. A fast-switching time of around 20 milliseconds enables near-seamless transitions during grid disturbances, helping maintain power to sensitive equipment. The longer switching option allows for a more controlled transition where required, providing flexibility for different applications and energy system designs.
Can the Escape-215-R control third-party PV inverters?
Yes, the Escape-215-R supports integration and control of third-party photovoltaic inverters. It can communicate with compatible solar inverters using standard industry communication protocols, allowing the system to monitor and coordinate solar power generation. This enables solar production to work efficiently alongside battery storage and site loads, giving system integrators flexibility when designing hybrid or renewable energy systems.
Is the Escape-215-R capable of controlling a diesel generator?
Yes, it can interface with and control diesel generators as part of a hybrid energy system. It can automatically start and stop the generator based on factors such as load demand, battery state of charge, and renewable energy availability. This helps optimise generator use, reduce fuel consumption, and improve overall system efficiency in applications where backup or supplementary generation is required.
Does the Escape-215-R support control by third-party EMS?
Yes, it supports communication with and control by third-party EMS platforms. Using standard communication protocols, it can exchange data and receive control commands from external EMS platforms. This allows the system to be integrated into larger energy management or microgrid control environments, enabling coordinated monitoring, optimisation, and control of distributed energy resources.
