Designing flexible BESS layouts with RatedPower
Layout editor lets users customise energy installations directly on the map.
The problem
RatedPower's algorithm generated optimised layouts automatically, but when a block needed manual adjustment, there was no way to do it inside the tool.
When a site had irregular boundaries, spatial constraints, or an opportunity to squeeze in additional blocks that broke the standard installation pattern, the tool couldn't accommodate it.
So developers exported the layout, opened AutoCAD, and manually redrew it to fit the reality of the site.
The result was a fragmented workflow split across three tools, with RatedPower's automatically generated documents no longer reflecting the actual design.
The solution
Hello, manual control!
Automate first. Adjust when it matters.
We designed a layout editor that sits on top of RatedPower's automated output, giving project developers direct control over their BESS blocks. Users can place blocks manually on a Battery Area, adjust individual container orientations, margins, and arrangements, rotate and reposition elements directly on the map, and add new blocks beyond what the algorithm placed, all while the platform continuously recalculates energy output, cable lengths, and project documents in the background.
The result is a workflow that keeps the precision of automation and adds the flexibility that real sites actually require. No AutoCAD. No spreadsheet reconciliation. No outdated documents at handoff.
First prototypes.
Inline edition prototypes.
