INTILION scalepac

Compatibility

External monitoring and control require INTILION confirmation

The 2025 brochure documents Modbus TCP/IP, a customer interface and IEC 60870-5-101/104 for grid operators. Use the customer interface for monitoring; its project point list supplies the addresses and units. The public brochure is sufficient to plan meter boundaries but contains no register table or proven Edge installation.

Current INTILION scalepac family with the INTILION Application Unit only. Record the exact scalepac unit count, PCS configuration, battery version, IAU version, firmware and commissioned application. Do not transfer this guide to scalebloc, scalecube or project-specific third-party components.

Models

Specifications

The brochure tabulates four-to-eight-unit configurations using 254 kWh LFP units, giving 1.016 to 2.032 MWh nominal energy and 914 to 1,828 kWh usable energy at 90% depth of discharge. The tabulated apparent-power limits range from 500 to 1,000 kVA. The current INTILION Application Unit can connect up to 16 units, so the table is not the maximum complete-system size.¹

Tabulated energy range

1.016 to 2.032 MWh nominal; 914 to 1,828 kWh usable at 90% depth of discharge¹

Tabulated power range

Up to 500 kVA for scalepac4 and up to 1,000 kVA for scalepac8; customer-specific nominal power from 500 kVA in approximately 125 kVA steps; 0.5 P maximum charge and discharge power¹

Battery

Prismatic 306 Ah LFP cells; 254 kWh nominal per unit; more than 6,000 cycles stated¹

Published communications

Modbus TCP/IP, remote-control protocols and cloud connection; IAU customer, trader, generation and grid-operator interfaces¹

Grid-operator protocols

IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 are named for individual grid-operator integration¹

Electrical connection

400 V three-phase with neutral and protective earth; grid-parallel operation; 110% overload for at least ten minutes¹

Enclosure and environment

Climate-controlled IP54 outdoor enclosures with C5 corrosion protection; -20 to +50 °C with derating above 40 °C; up to 3,000 m altitude^1, 2

Interface

Documented measurements and integration boundaries for scalepac.

• Potential identity, communications state, availability, operating mode and alarms require the approved IAU customer-interface map.
• Potential AC power, import and export energy, state of charge, state of health and available charge or discharge power must retain source, sign, unit, quality and freshness.
• Unit, PCS, battery, IAU, site-meter, trader and grid-operator values are separate measurement boundaries and must not be collapsed into one generic BESS point.
• No charge, discharge, market, power-plant-controller or grid-service command is approved by this guide.

Setup

1. Confirm the delivered system

   Capture every scalepac enclosure, PCS and battery identity, the IAU hardware and firmware, the commissioned application, meter arrangement and service boundary.

2. Place the meters on the site diagram

   The IAU supports up to five energy meters for sum and difference measurements. Label the grid connection, battery AC feeder, local generation and any separately metered load. Record each meter’s import direction and whether it measures one feeder or the whole site. Keep the customer, trader and grid-operator interfaces separate.

3. Read through the customer interface

   Use the 2025 brochure’s customer-side data interface as the starting point. Ask INTILION for the project endpoint and point list: addresses, data types, scale factors, units and power direction. Select identity, operating state, AC power, energy and alarms where supplied. Start with reads only and compare values with the local display; record the installed IAU version once in the commissioning sheet.

4. Compare battery and grid measurements

   Compare IAU battery power with the battery AC feeder meter over the same interval. Compare the grid meter separately: it includes the site loads and local generation, so it should not normally equal battery power. Check import and export signs during an existing scheduled charge and discharge, without sending a new command. For sum or difference measurements, verify the contributing meters before interpreting the calculated total.

5. Treat every command as a safety case

   For any later approved setpoint, document owner, range, ramp, interlocks, timeout, local override, rejection feedback, safe fallback and measured connection-point response.

Common questions

Does INTILION scalepac publish Modbus?

Yes. The current brochure lists Modbus TCP/IP among its communication standards. It does not publish the exact customer point map, access rules or firmware boundary needed to claim an Edge integration.¹

Can Edge command scalepac from this guide?

No. An approved command path needs the exact writable object, units, range, ramp, interlocks, timeout, rejection feedback and safe fallback. The public brochure does not provide that contract.¹

Is scalepac a single 254 kWh system?

The brochure lists a 254 kWh enclosure as the building block, but states that the smallest complete system has four units. Its technical table starts the system range at 1.016 MWh and 500 kVA.¹

Do IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 prove a customer monitoring path?

No. The brochure names those protocols for individual grid-operator integration. The project must establish the authorised interface, information objects, addressing, command ownership and cyber-security controls.¹
