„STABL Energy has developed a technology that fundamentally improves battery storage systems. These storage systems can be used in many ways, e.g. for solar power, for an interruption-free power supply in hospitals or to avoid peak loads in production. With our modular inverters, the construction of electricity storage systems is considerably simplified. Instead of statically connecting a central inverter to battery modules, as in conventional systems, our STABL modules are dynamically interconnected with their integrated inverters. Compared to conventional systems, losses are reduced by up to 70 % and thus operating costs as well as CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 40 % per year. To achieve this, the modules must communicate with each other in a highly synchronised manner. At the same time, we are constantly working on improving our technology. New software solutions for the real-time communications of the modules are always necessary for extended functions.
For this purpose, we have been working with IMMS since 2018. It has supported us in evaluating possible software architectures and has developed various software modules for the central STABL controller as well as for the controllers of the modules. Among other things, IMMS has implemented the Modbus interface for the central controller, i.e. ported the stack of the communications protocol to the master node and connected it to our software. With this communications interface, systems can be integrated into higher-level structures. This makes it possible to integrate our technology into energy management systems, for example.
IMMS is also a flexible partner for us beyond R&D projects in order to develop high-quality solutions quickly and efficiently. The self-image at the institute of thinking our way into our systems and proactively delivering solutions has helped us a lot. We are very satisfied with the results, as well as with the targeted, constructive and collegial way of working. We have come to know and appreciate IMMS as a very competent partner with easy and fast communication and almost even faster implementation of our requirements. We can highly recommend IMMS and look forward to further cooperation.“

We develop embedded systems for you as complete solutions consisting of sensors and actuators, signal processing and communications technology as well as open-loop and closed-loop controls.
Core topic
Real-time data processing and communications
New hardware is usually not supported by operating systems for real-time tasks. We are researching which operating system can be implemented in which way for which real-time application and the hardware required there.
