Abstract
An energy storage system includes a plurality of physical devices and an integration engine. The physical devices include at least a battery and a power inverter operable to charge and discharge the battery. Each of the physical devices stores one or more data points. The integration engine includes a processing circuit having a processor and memory. The memory stores a virtual device network including a plurality of virtual devices and a virtual device manager. Each of the virtual devices includes one or more attributes. The virtual device manager is configured to map the attributes of the virtual devices to corresponding data points stored by the physical devices and update the attributes of the virtual devices in response to detecting changes in value of the corresponding data points stored by the physical devices.
