Battery Energy Site Manager

Problem: As Energy Vault expanded its clean energy infrastructure, the platform needed to scale alongside a rapidly growing network of users, deployments, and connected devices. The existing experience made it difficult for users to quickly understand overall system health, navigate between grid-level and device-level views, or confidently manage increasingly complex energy operations. Critical actions like monitoring connectivity, adjusting power modes, and managing groups of devices lacked consistency and clarity, while the platform’s information architecture and navigation structure became cumbersome as new systems and features were introduced. Users also needed more flexible tools to create custom dashboards, apply filters or rules, and perform bulk actions across devices without relying on fragmented workflows or isolated management tools. Solution: To support scalability and improve usability, the platform was redesigned with a more intuitive sitemap, clearer visual hierarchy, and a modular navigation system that allowed users to move seamlessly between high-level grid overviews and detailed device insights. A persistent system health and safety layer was introduced to surface operational statuses, visual alerts, and emergency controls consistently across the platform, helping users quickly identify issues and maintain confidence in system performance. A centralized device management experience was also developed, enabling users to monitor, organize, and control devices from any area of the platform. Users could create custom dashboards and data tables, apply filters and conditional rules, group devices across sites or sectors, adjust modes and battery settings, and perform bulk actions efficiently at scale. Real-time monitoring and power management controls were integrated throughout the experience, ensuring users always had immediate access to critical system functions while maintaining clarity across complex energy ecosystems.
