Australia’s Quietest Community Battery
Valen’s VoraPlus is Australia’s only community battery that has been developed with noise mitigation, fast deployment and ease of integration, monitoring and maintenance. Valen’s VoraPlus has been developed from scratch with noise mitigation as the key driver. A fully engineered, double-wall enclosure, mass loading and component choices reduce noise levels by up to 40% based on current models.
All-in-one Unit
Fast Deployment; a faster roll-out is a cheaper roll-out. Valen’s Voraand VoraPlus design means less time on site and less associated costs and risks. The battery was developed in consultation with the industry, and has key features to enable ease of installation, leading to faster roll-out and execution of installation programs. These include designed-in metering and easy connections, all within a single unit requiring minimal groundwork.
Premium Energy Management System
Valen’s unified energy management system excels in cyber security, seamlessly integrating with your secure network with no link to the outside world. it monitors, controls and alarms on all on-site components – including HVAC, UPS, temp, humidity, access, energy system and generator etc – while linking across all energy storage systems. With servier redundancy for maximum reliability and built-in tools for scheduling maintenance and servicing, it streamlines operations, delivers realtime performance insights, and helps prevent issues before they arise.

Premium Energy Management System
Empowering electricity networks through advanced energy management, Valen’s EMS is designed to optimise asset control, streamline network operations, and reduce environmental impact. By centralising comprehensive monitoring and providing seamless control across critical power assets, we enable network operators to minimise field visits, cut operational costs, and focus their teams on high-value tasks.
Control every site, every component from any location - effortlessly.
Valen provides an agnostic, all-encompassing remote monitoring and management platform to track, analyse and optimise your telecommunications sites’ performance. Single dashboard for all data points including batteries, temperature, door alarms etc. If you think it, we can monitor it from this dashboard.
Seamless integration
The main job of the Energy Management System is to make sure everything is working together and synchronised. Valen’s monitoring solution can take a variety of protocols and feed out a selected protocol. For example, it can feed in MODBUS RTU or MODBUS TCP and feed out DNP3. These decisions are discussed and defined during Valen’s design stage.
Supports FCAS
The Energy Management System (EMS) supports Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) by actively monitoring and managing the battery energy storage system. It can quickly respond to changes in grid frequency by charging or discharging the batteries to help maintain stability. This dynamic response helps the grid stay balanced and supports overall grid reliability.
Dynamic and adaptable
Valen’s Energy Management System (EMS) for its Battery Energy Storage System is very flexible and can easily adapt to changes. You can add new drivers or protocols if needed, and they can be quickly uploaded to the EMS, making it ready to go. The system has 34 input and output points, both digital and analogue, which allows it to handle a variety of tasks. Plus, it uses very little power, making it efficient to run.
Cyber-security
Cyber security is and should be at the forefront of community battery deployment. Valen’s Energy Management System (EMS) comes with agnostic integration to all components through a control and monitoring network. This enables a single login and control from one platform and can be tailored to requirements.

Designing Stand-Alone Power Systems That Truly Build Network Resilience
Why “Grid-Like” Matters as Networks Evolve Across Australia, DNSPs are making deliberate decisions to remove poles and wires in parts of the network and replace them with stand-alone power systems (SAPS). The drivers are clear: improving resilience in remote and high-risk areas, reducing exposure to bushfire and storm events, and delivering a more sustainable long-term […]
