Microgrid Controller
Combining the size and ruggedness of a PLC with the power and ease-of-integration of the Ovation control system, the compact controller is ideal for microgrid applications.
Emerson’s microgrid controls solution, built upon the Ovation™ control system with an integrated microgrid controller, manages a microgrid’s distributed energy assets to cost-effectively produce low-carbon electricity while maintaining grid stability and operational resiliency.
It effectively automates control of all microgrid components and macrogrid interconnections to satisfy power demand and maintain stable operating conditions with minimal operational staffing.
Emerson’s Sustainable Grid Solutions transform unpredictable renewable energy into predictable, reliable power. With real-time demand forecasting, operational visibility and analytics, decision-making becomes easier and more precise. Renewable energy sources are now seamlessly incorporated into your traditional energy mix, maximizing efficiency from generation to delivery.
In this Electric Energy Online (EET&D) article, Emerson’s Rick Kephart outlines how implementing a single automation strategy for microgrid management provides numerous operational, maintenance and financial benefits.
