Intelligently controlled energy systems

Microgrids

A microgrid is an intelligently controlled energy system designed for local power generation including traditional and renewable sources, energy storage, and distribution. It is engineered to operate reliably both when connected to the utility grid if available and as a fully independent isolated system.

By combining renewable generation, battery energy storage systems, and diesel or gas backup generators, a microgrid provides a stable power supply in remote communities, industrial facilities, or critical infrastructure where operational continuity is essential. Customers gain energy independence, improved cost control, and increased resilience against grid outages.

What We Do

We design and control microgrids for real-world operation

We design and implement microgrid control logic that automatically responds to changes in generation, load, and grid conditions. Our goal is to ensure stable, safe, and predictable system behavior, even under demanding operating conditions.

Control of Individual Units within the Microgrid

Each generation or storage unit within the microgrid is equipped with its own PLC controller responsible for safe and autonomous operation. We develop control logic that ensures both proper standalone functionality of each unit and its seamless integration into the overall system.

Our solutions include:

  • safe startup and shutdown sequences
  • power regulation and operating state control
  • alarm, fault, and protection management
  • transmission of operational data to SCADA systems

Load Sharing

Balanced power distribution across the entire system

We design control strategies that balance active and reactive power across all units in the microgrid in real time. The system continuously considers resource availability as well as the technical limitations of individual assets.

Control logic accounts for:

  • performance characteristics of individual energy sources
  • battery state of charge (SoC)
  • real-time renewable power availability
  • permitted grid import and export limits

This ensures a stable, efficient microgrid capable of responding to rapid load changes.

Diesel Generator Operation Planning

Smart backup utilization without unnecessary costs

We design diesel generator control in a way that generators operate only when truly required. The system continuously evaluates the current state of generation and energy storage and optimizes generator start/stop decisions.

The logic considers:

  • available renewable photovoltaic power
  • battery state of charge
  • generator capacity, operational limits, and priorities
  • current system load

The solution also includes controlled transitions to generator-free operation, where the system runs solely on batteries and renewable energy sources.

Load Shedding

Controlled demand reduction without compromising critical processes

When available power is insufficient to supply all loads, we implement controlled load shedding strategies based on predefined load priorities.

This approach protects critical technologies and ensures controlled system operation, even in emergency scenarios.

Blackout recovery

Automated system restoration

In the event of a complete power outage, we design and implement automated recovery sequences that enable a safe and gradual restart of the entire microgrid without the need for manual intervention.

Grid Interaction

Voltage and Frequency Support (U/F Support)

The microgrid can actively support grid stability by regulating the injection or absorption of active and reactive power at the point of connection. System behavior parameters can be customized to meet local grid requirements.

Peak Shaving and Power Quality Control

Reduction of peak demand and optimization of energy flows

We control active and reactive power flows to:

  • reduce peak demand
  • maintain import and export limits
  • optimize power factor and overall power quality

This directly results in lower operating costs and increased system stability.

Transitions Between Operating Modes

Grid Connected

Smooth and safe connection of a microgrid to the utility grid requires appropriate synchronization protection and measurement devices that meet synchronization requirements (voltage, frequency, and phase angle). When these conditions are met, we provide automatic synchronization with the grid without any impact on system operation.

Island Mode

Where technology allows, we implement seamless transitions to islanded operation, during which the inverter assumes the grid-forming role and the system continues operating without any interruption of power supply.
