T-Star 350: Industrial IoT Gateway for Microgrids, DERs & Real-Time Energy Management

What Is the T-Star 350?

The T-Star 350 is an industrial IoT gateway designed for the demands of modern energy infrastructure. Built as a SkySpark Distributed Architecture Node, it connects microgrids, distributed energy resources (DERs), and virtual power plants (VPPs) to your energy management platform — delivering real-time data, analytics-ready connectivity, and edge computing power at the grid edge.

Whether you are managing commercial solar-plus-storage systems, demand response assets, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or EV charging infrastructure, the T-Star 350 provides the reliable, secure, and certified industrial IoT gateway your operations need. For lighter commercial energy monitoring, see the T-Star 245.

Built for Microgrids, DERs & Virtual Power Plants

The T-Star 350 was purpose-built for the complexity of modern distributed energy. It supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet, DNP3, and other industrial protocols common in energy storage systems, solar inverters, generators, and load controllers. Its dual-SIM cellular connectivity ensures that remote sites — from rooftop installations to utility-scale microgrids — maintain a continuous connection to your central Energy Analyst platform.

As a SkySpark edge node, the T-Star 350 can run local analytics and control logic directly at the site — reducing latency, lowering bandwidth costs, and maintaining grid-responsive control even during cloud connectivity interruptions.

Real-Time Energy Management at the Grid Edge

Paired with Intellastar's Energy Analyst platform, the T-Star 350 turns raw site data into real-time insights: peak demand tracking, interval meter reading, DER state-of-charge monitoring, and automated grid-responsive dispatch. It is the hardware layer that makes your energy intelligence strategy possible.

With support for Project Haystack semantic tagging and on-board dashboards, the T-Star 350 transforms operational data into actionable insights — whether you manage a single microgrid or a distributed portfolio of DER assets.
