4 FAQs about Microgrid control basseterre

What is a microgrid control system?

The microgrid control system also generates historical data that can be used for cost impact estimation and load and generation forecasting. This allows you to implement energy storage and peak-shaving strategies to reduce energy cost and use renewable sources when they're most advantageous.

What makes SEL a good microgrid control system?

SEL is the global leader in microgrid control systems, verified by rigorous independent evaluations and proven by 15+ years of performance in the field. Our powerMAX Power Management and Control System maximizes uptime and ensures stability, keeping the microgrid operational even under extreme conditions.

How can a microgrid controller be integrated into utility operations?

A simple method of integration of a microgrid controller into utility operations would be through abstraction. High-level use cases are presented to the operator (ex., voltage regulation, power factor control, island mode), but most actual control is handled by the remote controller and not the power system operator.

How do microgrids protect against cyber attacks?

Microgrids can help the larger electrical grid become more resilient to large-scale cyber attacks, as each microgrid control system is isolated from controls in other parts of the grid. To secure the microgrid itself, layered cyber defenses are part of every SEL microgrid control system.
