Compliant grid connection
for tesvolt energy storage systems

Integrate battery storage systems into the power grid in compliance with standards

The grid connection of commercial energy systems in Germany is subject to clearly defined technical and regulatory requirements. Especially for larger installations, battery storage systems, photovoltaic systems, and other energy generators must be integrated in a way that ensures grid stability, controllability, and compliance with applicable standards.

TESVOLT supports specialist partners and project developers in meeting these requirements—with validated interfaces, compatible system architectures, and in-depth technical consulting throughout the entire project lifecycle.

This ensures that battery storage systems can be reliably connected to the power grid and comply with all relevant requirements set by grid operators.

TEC Pro S: TESVOLT solution for grid connection

TESVOLT provides a standards-compliant interface for integrating battery storage systems into EZA-controlled installations with the TESVOLT Energy Controller Pro S (TEC Pro S).

The controller connects the higher-level master EZA controller with the TESVOLT battery system and ensures that all control commands are executed correctly.

Why grid connection matters

Connecting large-scale energy systems to the power grid is not just a technical step. It is part of a complex interplay of:

  • legal requirements
  • technical standards
  • grid operator specifications
  • system integration of various energy generators

To ensure safe operation, systems must be able to respond to grid signals—for example, requirements related to active power, reactive power, or grid stability.

In Germany, standards such as VDE-AR-N 4110 define the requirements for systems connected to the medium-voltage grid. Above a certain capacity, a central control unit is required to coordinate all generation assets.

When is an EZA controller connection required?

  • From a total feed-in capacity of 270 kW, the requirements of VDE-AR-N 4110 apply (status: March 2026).
  • The grid operator may require remote controllability via an EZA controller.
  • The system can only be commissioned after successful integration.
  • These regulations ensure that even large decentralized energy systems are integrated into the power grid in a stable manner.

TEC Pro S functions:

  • validated interface between the master EZA controller and the TESVOLT battery system
  • standards-compliant implementation in accordance with VDE-AR-N 4110
  • integration into TESVOLT energy management systems
  • communication with inverters, metering systems, and IoT components
  • secure control of the battery within the overall system

This keeps the overall system logic flexible and allows it to be optimally adapted to the requirements of the respective grid operator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Grid Connection (FAQs)

Why doesn’t TESVOLT provide a complete EZA controller?

The overall control of complex energy systems is a specialized field in its own right.
Therefore, the master EZA controller is selected on a project-specific basis by system integrators or specialized providers.

TESVOLT focuses on battery storage systems and provides the standards-compliant interface for integrating

Is an EZA controller a standard product?

No.
The design depends on many factors, such as:

  • number and type of energy generators
  • grid requirements of the local operator
  • overall system complexity

Therefore, the EZA controller is typically dimensioned and configured on a project-specific basis.

Why is the TEC Pro S needed?

The TEC Pro S provides a certified, standards-compliant interface between the EZA controller and the battery system.

It ensures that the grid operator’s control commands are reliably executed and that all functions of the TESVOLT energy management system can be fully utilized.

What services does TESVOLT provide for the grid connection of a TESVOLT battery storage system?

TESVOLT provides all components required for the integration of the battery storage system. These include:

  • the battery storage system
  • the TEC Pro S as a standards-compliant interface between the battery system and the master EZA controller
  • integration into the TESVOLT energy management system
  • technical support for system integration and commissioning

This ensures that the battery storage system can be technically integrated into the overall system correctly.

What is the role of TESVOLT partners in grid connection projects?

The specialist partner is responsible for planning and implementing the overall control of the energy system. This includes in particular:

  • selection and provision of the master EZA controller
  • planning the control strategy of the overall system
  • integration of additional energy generators and consumers (e.g. PV systems, CHP units, or additional storage)
  • coordination with the responsible grid operator
  • execution of the overall commissioning of the system
