Benefits

• Simplified battery energy storage, PV Integration and scalability of the microgrid
• Standardized control boxes that work with all kinds of engines, generators, inverters and breakers
• Back-Up Mode: peer-to-peer controls with basic Microgrid operating modes if master control and safe backup power mode if other units fail
• Reduce complexity on your supervisory control / energy manager control by delegating control functions to sub-level controller, which makes it easier to build up your microgrid controller
• Control AC networks as simple as DC networks
• Increase system stability and reliability with Hot Swap redundant communication between controls
• Capability for simulation of the control system before project realization, work through realistic use-cases before commissioning including the interconnection to your Microgrid, Supervisory command and Energy Management System
• Simplification of wiring and reduced need for distributed PLC modules

Features

• Various application modes off-grid, on-grid, as well as Import / Export control in dual mode (*2)
• Running each DC power sources in AC island operation and/or parallel to grid operation (*2)
• Controlling constant power/reactive power flow
• Controlling frequency and voltage in island operation (*2)
• Battery charging optimization – determines the correct moment for charging and discharging the energy storage
• Indicate operation modes, setpoints and alarms of the inverter and DC power source and react accordingly (*3)
• Interact with combustion engine controls (easYgen-3000XT), breaker controls (LS-5 or LS-6) and other controls in the systems
• Support power management systems and SCADA systems
  • Guide the inverter and DC sources via interface (prepared for interfacing with all kinds of Modbus TCP based inverter systems, Modbus Master Mapper to modify protocols according to inverter and BMS protocols)
• Operate the DC breaker
• Operate the AC breakers
• Black start capabilitiy
• Balance safe operation and maximizing renewable energy sources
  • Supports optimized dynamic spinning reserve calculation to make sure lowest numbers of diesel gensets are running to save fuel (in island mode and if necessary at all)
  • Curtailing of solar power to avoid operating diesel gensets in reverse power or below low load operation
