A microgrid is only as smart as its control system. While a microgrid’s power sources and energy storage provide the muscle, the control system is the brain, orchestrating every action to ensure optimal performance, unwavering reliability, and total energy independence. Dorce Prefabricated Construction specializes in providing complete Microgrid Control solutions, integrating the most advanced technology into our turnkey platforms to deliver a smarter, more resilient power ecosystem.
The Conductor of the System: What is Microgrid Control?
Microgrid Control, often referred to as a Microgrid Energy Management System (MEMS), is a sophisticated hardware and software platform that serves as the central intelligence of the entire microgrid. It is an automated system that manages and coordinates all power sources, energy storage, and loads in real-time. It is the core technology that allows a microgrid to make instantaneous decisions—from switching between energy sources to disconnecting from the main grid—all to ensure a continuous and efficient power supply.
The Dorce Advantage: Engineering Smart Microgrids
Building a microgrid can be complex, but the integration of its control system is the most critical step. Dorce’s prefabricated, turnkey approach simplifies this process, delivering a complete, pre-tested solution where the control system is a core, integrated component from day one.
- Turnkey Integration for Seamless Performance: We eliminate the logistical headaches of on-site integration. Our control system is pre-installed within a prefabricated E-House or container alongside the inverters, switchgear, and BESS. This ensures every component is engineered to work together perfectly, reducing commissioning time and guaranteeing reliable, plug-and-play functionality.
- Real-Time Optimization for Maximum Savings: Our Microgrid Control solutions use advanced algorithms to intelligently manage power flow. The system automatically prioritizes the most cost-effective energy source, such as solar power during the day, and strategically engages the generator only when absolutely necessary. This capability enables powerful strategies like “peak shaving,” significantly reducing fuel consumption and operational costs.
- Unwavering Resilience and Seamless Transition: The control system is engineered for uninterrupted power. During a main grid outage, it can instantly and seamlessly switch to “island mode,” drawing power from its internal sources and ensuring that critical operations—such as those at hospitals, data centers, and military bases—remain online without a flicker.
- Remote Monitoring and Cybersecurity: With a user-friendly interface, operators can remotely monitor the microgrid’s performance, view real-time data, and run diagnostics from anywhere in the world. Our systems also feature robust cybersecurity protocols, protecting your critical energy infrastructure from digital threats.
