Centauri Energy Server
The singular solution for power management
Centauri Energy Server can be deployed in any location, to service any kind of load profile (from kW to MW), with or without grid access or generator availability. The Centauri Energy Server is a fully integrated power electronics and software platform that requires no additional hardware or software to function. While the Centauri Energy Server can operate as a stand-alone device, it can communicate with external hardware and software if needed.
Key Attributes
- Handles torque loads allowing start-up of motors, compressors, and all forms of inductive loads with surge currents, without oversizing the system
- Accepts 5x – 6x renewable input without oversizing the system
- Plug-and-play connectivity to storage (does not require additional battery inverter for Sirius Energy Storage, Lead Acid or Li Ion)
- Handles renewable intermittency by switching seamlessly between renewable generation and storage
- Directly supplies the load from renewable generation during generation hours (does not route through the battery)
- Charges storage during generation hours (concurrently as it supplies the load)
- Plug-and-play connectivity to multiple DC or AC generation inputs
Seamless switching between multiple input sources without destabilizing the load
Energy blending capability for multiple input sources
Actively corrects power factor losses to 1 on the circuit caused by inductive and capacitive loads
Filters harmonics caused by the load
Includes built-in safeties, data logging, monitoring, and control features
Includes flexible protocols to communicate with and respond to signals from the grid
Is configurable to work in islanded or non-islanded modes. In non-islanded mode, is bi-directional.
Auto genset start/stop/control when genset is connected
Modular and scalable

Aplication
Centauri Energy Server can be deployed in any location, to service any kind of load profile (from kW to MW), with or without grid access or generator availability. The Centauri Energy Server is a fully integrated power electronics and software platform that requires no additional hardware or software to function. While the Centauri Energy Server can operate as a stand-alone device, it can communicate with external hardware and software if needed.
The Centauri Energy Server replaces integrated systems comprised of multiple components (PV inverter + charge controller + battery inverter + communication software and hardware + safety devices etc.) in all use-cases. The Centauri Energy Server can be deployed, with energy storage, in:
- Residential
- Commercial and industrial
- University campuses
- Mission critical facilities
- Military bases
- Mines
- Agricultural farms
- Oil and gas infrastructure
- Island states
- Prefabricated housing
- Displaced persons’ camps
- Disaster relief
- Private virtual networks
- Data centers
