Stem was named as finalist of the The smarter E AWARD 2026 in the category "Smart Integrated Energy" for the application "PowerTrack Energy Management System (EMS)".
Declining feed-in tariffs and increasing periods of negative electricity prices are driving the hybridization of PV and battery storage, making a robust EMS/PPC essential as the central integration layer. PowerTrack EMS from Stem combines energy management and grid-compliant power plant controls on a redundant edge-to-cloud platform, supporting key grid codes (e.g., VDE-AR-N 4110/4120/4130). The system runs on industrial hardware or the PowerTrack Logger (with edge AI) and provides fast failover. An integrated UI replaces local SCADA, enabling configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics. Extensive interfaces (e.g., Modbus, IEC 61850, OPC UA) and strong cybersecurity standards (NIST, SOC 2, IEC 62443) ensure reliable and secure operation.
