Advanced Microgrid Controller

Integrated Microgrid Hardware & Software Control Solution by Russelectric

A fully integrated physical, operational, and financial control platform for complex, mission critical distributed energy systems, ranging from partial back-up generation and demand management to fully functional microgrids.

Founded in 1955, Russelectric has thousands of operating systems from 100 – 50,000 kW — all proudly made in the USA and installed across the United States.

Fact Sheet

Business Continuity
RDEC’s seamless control of your facility’s electrical demand and generation assets provides least cost, least emission business continuity strategies for both short and long duration outages.

Facility Integrated Solar
Most existing PV systems are connected to the grid and designed to shutdown during grid outages. RDEC integrates your PV system to power your facility during outages.

Priority-Based Load Shedding Permitted Emissions Optimization
Reduce demand and deploy clean, least cost generation and storage options
to maintain critical loads during short outages while reserving permit-limited emissions generation for long outages.

Power Quality

RDEC improves facility power quality, benefiting internal equipment and reducing utility power quality charges.

  • Dynamic islanding capability with blackout detection
  • Fast, reliable decoupling
  • Automatic black start of backup generators
  • Seamless grid resynchronization after outage
  • Real-time measurements for improved control
  • Generation offsetting and balancing
  • Electrical fault and short circuit protection
  • Stable grid operation via spinning reserves
  • Voltage and frequency control:
    • Stabilize system
    • Maintain voltage under all scenarios
    • Balance reactive power
    • Adjust generation and demand
  • Offset renewable generation intermittency

Energy Costs

RDEC optimizes your facility’s controllable demands, onsite storage and power generation to reduce energy costs and cost volatility.

Demand Reduction
Reduce utility metered demand or participate in demand response and ancillary service markets.

Demand Collars
Secure low-cost grid power by maintaining demand within defined boundaries or “collars”.

Time of Use Asset Optimization
Leverage batteries to store low-cost off-peak energy and release it on peak.

Least Cost Gen Source Deployment
Deploy least cost generation assets to meet your electrical loads.

Green House Gases

Advanced Microgrid Controls fully integrates onsite renewable generation resources into your facility’s distributed energy system, reducing your facility’s GHGs & helping your company meet sustainability goals.

Achieve Sustainability Goals
Maximize Renewable Generation
Reduce deployment of nonrenewable onsite generation and grid power purchases

  • Solar PV
  • Wind
  • Biomass
  • CHP
  • Fuel Cells

Reliable Solar & Wind
Coupled with energy storage, intermittent renewable power is converted into continuous, dispatchable power.

Advanced Microgrid Controls

The core of each Advanced Microgrid Controller is Russelectric’s transfer switches, switchgear, and power controller to provide seamless physical, data, and control integration of your facility’s onsite demand and generation assets.

Depending upon your power control needs, an optional SCADA and Electric Power Management System can be added..

Russelectric can provide storage systems or work with your selected storage supplier..
