Quasar Edge · Utility-Scale
Utility-Scale Edge Controller
Grid-code certified. TSO-grade. Quasar Edge is the cabinet-grade controller for utility BESS and hybrid plants — IEC 61850 + IEC 60870-5-104 native, dual-redundant Ethernet, hardened for substation deployment. Deployed up to 95 MW / 95 MWh.
TSO-grade, grid-code certified
Cabinet-grade hardware designed for utility BESS and hybrid plants. Native protocols on both plant and TSO sides. Closed-loop POI control with capability-envelope awareness.
TEİAŞ-Ready Out of the Box
IEC 60870-5-104 native on both internal and operator sides. ICCP / TASE.2 ready. No extra gateway hardware, no extra license.
Closed-Loop POI Control
Active + Reactive power control at the Point of Interconnection. Capability envelope (banana curve) honored. Transformer and cable losses auto-compensated.
Grid Services Ready
PFR / SFR / mFRR / Synthetic Inertia + LVRT/HVRT envelopes per TEİAŞ and ENTSO-E NC RfG.
Features
Built for the substation
Cabinet-Grade Hardware
SICAM A8000 or N2N RTU. Rittal AX cabinet, IP54+, lockable, tamper-alarmed. Field-proven.
Substation-Grade Protocols
IEC 61850 (GOOSE + MMS), IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, CAN. Plant-side and TSO-side both native.
Redundant Connectivity
Dual-redundant Ethernet + 4G/LTE backup. DEHN + Phoenix Contact + Schneider surge protection. DC UPS with 30-min graceful shutdown.
Defense-in-Depth Cybersecurity
mTLS, IPsec, secure boot, signed firmware, RBAC, audit logging. NIS2 + EPDK siber compliant.
Architecture
Plant to TSO,
both sides native
Quasar Edge is the cabinet-grade controller that lives in your plant's substation. Plant-side, it speaks IEC 61850 GOOSE + MMS to inverters and BMS containers. Operator-side, it speaks IEC 60870-5-104 over IPsec VPN to the TSO SCADA. Store & Forward telemetry buffer means link drops do not lose data — when connectivity restores, every sample is delivered in order.
Capabilities
Beyond a gateway
A complete utility-scale BESS controller. P-Q closed-loop, imbalance management, hybrid coordination and augmentation planning — all proven up to 95 MW / 95 MWh.
Active + Reactive Power Control
Setpoint, ramp rate, curtailment, gradient. Q-V droop, cos φ, STATCOM-like operation. Typical ramp: 5-10 MW/min per TEİAŞ directive.
Imbalance Management
AI forecast (Solcast + 90-day learning) closes the gap between forecast and actual through battery dispatch. Target: 99.4% forecast adherence, zero imbalance penalty.
Hybrid Coordination
PV + BESS unified at the POI. Peak PV flows into the battery instead of being curtailed — typically 12-15 MWh/day saved on a 95 MW plant.
Asset Performance + Augmentation Planning
Cell-level SoH heatmap. AI degradation models warn 18 months before SLA breach so augmentation CAPEX is budgeted on time.
Specifications
Technical details
Engineered for the substation. Every component is selected to survive 25 years of utility-scale field service.
Use Cases
One controller, every utility scenario
Standalone Utility BESS
Frequency regulation, energy arbitrage, capacity market participation. Deployed up to 95 MW / 95 MWh.
Hybrid PV + BESS Plant
Single POI controller. Curtailment-free dispatch. Forecast-aligned export keeps imbalance penalties at zero.
TSO Yan Hizmetler Pazarı
PFR, SFR, mFRR pre-qualification support. European PICASSO / MARI prequalification on the roadmap.
Multi-Plant Fleet Operator
Each plant deploys its own Quasar Edge; the Quasar cloud orchestrates the fleet from a single panel.
