SO-ROUTER
Central routing layer that determines which approved energy path is active.
SO-EMS M02
Energy Router
M02 decides where measured energy should go.
M01 tells us what energy is moving. M02 uses that information to route energy between sources, storage, loads, recovery paths and experiments according to defined operating rules.

M01 MEASURE
M02 ROUTE
M03 STORE
M02 PRINCIPLE
Measure first. Then decide where every watt should go.
M02 is not an energy source.
It is the routing layer that manages available energy after M01 has established what is actually entering, leaving or being recovered.
ROUTING ARCHITECTURE
One controlled DC bus. Multiple destinations.
The M02 prototype begins as a protected low-voltage 12 V DC routing bench.

LOAD BUS
RECOVERY BUS
M02 CORE COMPONENTS
Routing requires protection, switching and rules.
SO-PROTECT
Fuses, DC breakers, current limits and emergency-stop protection for each relevant energy path.
SO-SWITCH
Relays, contactors or appropriate solid-state switching devices used to connect and isolate energy paths.
SO-RULES
Control logic defining when energy may move between sources, batteries, loads and recovery paths.
ROUTING DESTINATIONS
M02 sends available energy where it creates the most value.
Battery A
Primary storage path with independent protection, measurement and controlled connection.
Battery B
Secondary storage path allowing controlled dual-battery experiments and energy transfer strategies.
Critical Loads
Loads that should receive priority when available energy becomes limited.
Experimental Loads
Research loads that may be disconnected when energy reserves fall below safe operating limits.
Recovery Bus
Controlled pathway for measured recovered energy returning from regenerative or experimental systems.
DUAL BATTERY ARCHITECTURE
Two batteries should remain independently visible.
Battery A and Battery B are treated as separate energy stores with independent protection, measurement and routing decisions.
This allows SO-EMS to observe what happens when one storage bank is supplying loads while another receives available charging energy.
Energy moved between batteries must pass through an appropriate controlled conversion or charging stage.
M02 STORAGE ROUTING
Dual Battery Model
R&D
IMPORTANT ROUTING RULE
Do not connect battery banks together blindly.
M02 does not assume that Battery A can simply be connected directly to Battery B.
Charging or transferring energy between storage banks requires controlled conversion, appropriate charging limits, protection and measurement.
The router decides the approved path. It does not bypass the electrical requirements of the storage system.
M02 MEASUREMENTS
Routing decisions need measured context.
Storage State
Monitor available state of charge or another validated indicator of storage condition.
Source Input
Measure renewable or other source energy available to the routing bus.
Load Demand
Measure energy required by critical and experimental loads.
Recovery Input
Track recovered energy separately by source where practical.
Conversion Loss
Compare energy before and after converters or charging stages used by the router.
Routing History
Record when routes changed so energy data can be tied to operating state.
SO-RULES
Begin with simple, explainable routing logic.
The first M02 rules should be understandable enough to test manually before they are automated.
Surplus Source Energy
When primary loads are satisfied and safe storage capacity remains available, route approved surplus energy toward the appropriate storage path.
Preserve Critical Loads
When storage reaches a defined low-energy threshold, reduce or disconnect noncritical experimental loads before critical loads.
Recovery Routing
Route measured recovered energy only toward an available and electrically appropriate destination.
Protect Storage
Do not route charge or discharge outside defined storage operating limits.
Fail Safe
If the measurement or control state becomes unreliable, the router should move toward a defined safe state instead of guessing.

FIRST M02 TEST
M02-T01 — Dual Battery Intelligent Transfer
The first M02 test evaluates controlled routing between two separately monitored storage banks and a defined electrical load.
The objective is not to demonstrate perpetual operation. It is to measure how routing decisions affect storage state, conversion losses, available energy and load continuity.
M02-T01
Dual Battery Test
PLANNED
M02-T01 PROCEDURE
Test the router before trusting automation.
Establish Starting State
Record Battery A, Battery B, source availability and load conditions.
Verify M01
Confirm energy measurement channels are operating before any routing decision is tested.
Verify Protection
Confirm fuses, current limits, switching states and emergency-stop behaviour.
Select Initial Route
Connect the defined source and storage path using the approved switching sequence.
Apply Load
Operate a defined load while recording energy flow.
Reach Routing Threshold
Allow the system to reach the predefined condition that calls for a route change.
Change Route
Execute the controlled switch to the alternate approved path.
Verify Energy Flow
Confirm measured current and energy are moving through the intended path after switching.
Compare Losses
Quantify energy used, transferred and lost during the routing process.
Repeat
Repeat the sequence before automating the routing rule.
SO-PROTECT
The router must never become the weakest safety layer.
Switching logic does not replace overcurrent protection, suitable wiring, battery protection or appropriate charging control.
The low-voltage prototype should remain fused, current-limited where practical and equipped with an accessible emergency stop.
FAIL-SAFE STATES
Loss of intelligence should not mean loss of control.
Measurement Failure
Stop automatic route changes when the required measurement becomes unreliable.
Controller Failure
Return switching devices to a defined safe state where the hardware permits it.
Low Storage
Preserve critical loads and disconnect experimental loads according to defined thresholds.
Emergency Stop
Provide a direct way to interrupt the experimental routing system.
M01 + M02
Measurement and routing become one feedback loop.

M01 VERIFIES
SO-RULES LEARNS
A routing decision should be confirmed by measurement after the switch. The command alone does not prove that energy actually followed the intended path.
SOURCE INTEGRATION
The router can grow as new measured sources are added.
Solar Input
Route measured solar energy toward loads or available storage through appropriate charging equipment.
Solar Calculator →Regenerative Input
Measure recovered energy independently before routing it back toward an approved destination.
Micro-Hydro Input
Route measured generation from useful water flow through a controlled conversion path.
Experimental Sources
Experimental energy sources remain separately measured so their contribution cannot be confused with primary generation.
RECOVERY BUS
Recovered energy gets its own accounting path.
Regenerative braking, micro-hydro, mechanical recovery or another experimental source can enter the Recovery Bus only after its contribution is measured.
This prevents recovered energy from being mistaken for primary generation.

M02 → CONTROL ROOM
The Control Room should eventually know both energy and route state.
M01 provides measured energy data. M02 adds context about where that energy was intentionally routed.
Future telemetry can therefore show not only how much energy moved, but which source, storage bank or load was active during that period.

Together, the first three modules form the initial physical core of the SO-EMS architecture.
M03 takes the next step by formalizing how energy storage is characterized, protected, charged, discharged and measured.
