Built from the ground up
for industrial battery sites
Resilience
- On-Site
- Robust on-site control keeps critical functions local. Enable sub-150ms inverter response times, backup operation and seamless islanding without relying on the cloud.
- Availability
- Built for continuous operation. Redundancy features and hot-swap software updates minimize downtime and keep your site running through maintenance and upgrades.
- Cybersecurity
- Designed for critical energy infrastructure. Our architecture follows the latest cybersecurity standards and best practices for industrial battery systems.
Integration
- Strong Genset Support
- Bridge conventional and renewable power. Integrate existing diesel and gas generators with batteries and renewables under one control system.
- Electrical & Thermal Optimization
- Optimize electricity and heat together. Combine CHP, batteries and heat pumps while responding dynamically to energy prices and site demand.
- Market Integration
- Connect your assets to energy and grid-service markets (aFRR, mFRR, FCR, FFR) through open APIs, or run advanced optimization directly on site.
Service
- Off-the-shelf
- Go from installation to operation faster. Pre-built integrations and advanced commissioning tools minimize engineering effort and time on site.
- Modern Diagnostic Tooling
- Advanced remote diagnostics give our team deep visibility into system performance, reducing troubleshooting time and unnecessary site visits.
- 365 Support
- Expert support whenever you need it. Our team is available 365 days a year to help resolve critical issues quickly.

Hardware-independent
Our controller runs on a wide variety of platforms. Use an IPC from Advantech, RevPi, Phoenix Contact or discuss using your own hardware.
Rock-solid
Developed in Rust, a high-performance software language renowned for its strong security guarantees.
Certified
We support German VDE-AR N 4110 and 4120 certification requirements.
Low Latency
Runs on-premise, fast control response at all times. Operate safely and closer to the full capacity of your hardware.
Our Story
We’ve spent a decade building control and battery systems for critical infrastructure and off-grid sites as early employees at Qinous GmbH.
Qinous was acquired by Rolls Royce Power Systems in 2022, acknowledging it as a best-in-class manufacturer of battery systems.
Inspired by working with energy industry pioneers, we now want to bring our knowledge to the fast-growing grid-connected battery market.

Questions,
answered.
Who does HEAT supply to?
EPCs, independent power producers (IPPs), and distributors.
Where is HEAT active?
HEAT is active globally. So far, we have projects in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, the UK, Ireland, Italy, and Chile, with more countries to follow.
Can I connect the controller to the market?
Yes. The HEAT Energy Gateway includes built-in on-site optimization for dynamic tariffs. Third-party VPPs and direct marketers can schedule a wide range of grid services through a central cloud API for multiple HEAT controllers, or on-site via Modbus or MQTT.
What is the scope of supply?
We deliver the control software pre-installed on an industrial PC (IPC). It is either accessed locally or through our asset management platform in the cloud.
What certifications to you have?
We are ISO 9001 certified and plan to achieve ISO 27001 certification in Q1 2027. We also meet all obligations of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) that currently apply.
Can HEAT replace an existing EMS?
Yes, we have already replaced competitor systems in existing projects. To de-risk the switch, the Energy Gateway can first run alongside your current EMS in observation-only mode, without issuing control commands. You can also use this to get a load profile and use it in our simulation.
Can you provide simulations?
Yes. We can run the HEAT Energy Gateway for you as a cloud simulation, using the exact same software that will control your site. Upload your own load profiles to test sizing and optimizations. There is no gap between simulation and reality, because it's the same product.
How is the HEAT Energy Gateway priced?
The HEAT Energy Gateway is priced per site, contact us or use our online RFQ form to get a quote.
