Microgrids

Rapid microgrid pre-commissioning and system integration. Microgrid controller RCP and testing.

Create a fully working microgrid control prototype and assess its behavior even at the earliest steps of its lifecycle. Connect your prototypes with drag & drop energy storage systems, PV plants, diesel gensets, etc. The Typhoon HIL toolchain offers industry-standard interfaces and supports all major communication protocols (e.g. ModBus, IEC 61850, IEC 61400). Optimize your microgrid control software algorithms for integration with existing substation communication protocols and existing DERs to see how the newly added infrastructure will communicate with external resources.
