Contract with Energy Cells for the implementation of the BESS production control system SCADA

UAB “Elsis TS” won an open international tender and on December 19, 2025 signed a contract with UAB “Energy cells” for the installation, maintenance and additional services of the Production Control System SCADA. The contract partners (subcontractors) of are “COPA DATA GmbH”, UAB “Novian PRO” and UAB “Novian Technologies”. The duration of the contract is 72 months.

The principal role of Energy Cells, the operator of the electricity storage facilities, is to ensure the provision of the isolated standby power system operation service to Litgrid, the transmission system operator, which creates the conditions for reliable, stable and user-friendly operation of the Lithuanian power system.

The system of electricity storage facilities managed by the company consists of four battery farms with an equal capacity of 50 MW and power of 50 MWh each in Vilnius, Šiauliai, Alytus and Utena districts. The total power and capacity reach 200 megawatts (MW) and 200 megawatt-hours (MWh). It is currently the largest in the Baltic States and one of the largest parks of its kind in Europe.

The operation of the system consisting of four battery parks is monitored without interruption (24/7) from a control centre in Vilnius. In the event of disruptions in the transmission system network, the energy storage system can automatically, within 1 second, respond to the transmission system operator Litgrid’s need to ensure the security and stability of the electricity system by injecting or withdrawing power into or out of the network, thereby helping to regulate the frequency of the transmission system’s network. Once activated, the instant energy reserve service would continue to be available until the start-up of power generation sources of the other market participants.

A new supervisory control and data acquisition system or SCADA (hereinafter referred to as BESS SCADA) will be installed for full-fledged operational management, control, technical maintenance, real-time and historical data collection and display, reporting, and data exchange of all 4 battery farms.

The core of the new BESS SCADA system is the “zenon” software platform developed by COPA DATA for production and energy. The collected data will be stored in Microsoft SQL Server DB.

COPA-DATA is an independent manufacturer of industrial and energy automation software, combining extensive automation experience with new digital transformation capabilities.

The contract value is 1.049 million euros excluding VAT. The system installation work is planned to be completed within 12 months.

Modernization of radars of patrol ships of the Lithuanian Naval Force

Client:

Leonardo S.p.A. (main contractor), GEM Elettronica, Lithuanian Naval Force (LNF)

Period:

2022/01 – 2023/12

Project description:

Elsis TS together with partners – Italian defence sector companies Leonardo S.p.A., GEM Elettronica, successfully implemented the project of modernization of radars of patrol ships of the Lithuanian Naval Forces.

The core of the system is GEM Elettronica’s Columbus MK2 3D multi-mission radar purposely designed for coastal surveillance and shipborne applications, created using the latest technologies, ensuring low radiation detection, system longevity and automated work. It is a compact and advanced radar system for short- and medium-range air and surface contact monitoring and target designation for ship’s weapon systems.

The new radar systems were installed on Lithuania’s Flyvefisken‐class (Standard Flex 300) offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) Žemaitis (P11), Dzūkas (P12), Aukštaitis (P14), and Sėlis (P15).

The main role of the new equipment is to ensure safety of the ships when navigating in narrow passages (e.g., straits, port channels) and open sea, and search and rescue missions. The systems will help detect objects as far as 100 kilometres way. The dual function of the radars is detection and tracking of surface and airborne targets which will enable the use of currently integrated weapons on different types of targets with accuracy, including under especially adverse hydrometeorological conditions during the light and the dark part of the day. The installed radars also have integrated IFF (friend or foe) identification antennas.

During the project implementation, Elsis TS provided essential services, including:

  • Production of cables according to the standard IPC/WHMA-A-620B (Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies) developed by Wiring Harness Manufacturers Association (WHMA), the only industry-consensus standard prescribing practices and requirements for the manufacture of Cable, Wire and Harness Assemblies, describing materials, methods, tests, and acceptability criteria for producing crimped, mechanically secured, or soldered interconnections and the related assembly activities associated with cable and harness assemblies;
  • Production of mechanical adapters – radar antenna holders and console mounting adapters;
  • All installation works of radar systems – control equipment, cables, electrical connections, consoles, additional screens, and IFF antennas.
