Video: Intelligent microgrids

The intelligent components behind optimization

In the Eaton Experience Center's controlled environment, a full-scale operational microgrid powers the lighting, HVAC and house loads. The microgrid features Eaton's Power Xpert Energy Optimizer controller and is used as a "live" platform for testing control advancements. The microgrid controller intelligently manages multiple sources, including solar, energy storage, generation and the utility supply, to ensure power continuity for shortand long-term utility interruptions.
Built on open standards (IEC 61850), Eaton's Microgrid Energy System (MES) employs a modular system design that accounts for microgrid needs now and in the future. Repeatable generation module templates, pre-format load options, a suite of pre-engineered optimization strategies, standard displays and reports and scale templates help Eaton build a microgrid from the ground up.
