The microgrid controller is the brain for your microgrid — the piece of technology that transforms a collection of disparate microgrid energy resources into a cohesive independent power grid. This technology is necessarily complex, balancing supply and demand, making the most of every asset, and managing energy storage, PV solar, generators, and other distributed energy resources while shedding loads within seconds to deliver resilient and reliable power.
The ARC microgrid controller performs under the most demanding conditions for applications where power reliability is critical. Extreme weather? Traditional grid blackouts? Behind-the-meter or off-grid, A has your back with stable, resilient power.
Real-time energy management controls ensure system stability and resiliency. The ARC microgrid controller sends data every second to balance power generation with load. With Generac's microgrid solutions, you and your power connectivity won’t miss a beat.
The ARC microgrid controller interfaces with a wide variety of conventional and renewable energy resources, including energy storage inverters, photovoltaic solar inverters, diesel and natural gas generators, wind turbines, weather stations, power meters, and sheddable loads.
Monitor and control all your microgrid assets from one user-friendly dashboard, both locally from the touchscreen and remotely via a secure VPN connection. ARC records data every second so you can monitor loads, solar estimates, energy production, and more for precision trending and troubleshooting.
The ARC microgrid controller automatically sends email alerts when there’s an alarm from any of your microgrid assets. ARC stores alarms and system events so you can view them anytime.
The ARC microgrid controller is encased in a durable NEMA 3R enclosure, protecting your microgrid infrastructure and your investment. The ARC cabinet stands strong through heat, cold, rain, snow, sleet, humidity, and high altitude conditions.
ARC delivers microgrid solutions configured for your application — rural energy systems, remote communities, island resorts, remote mine sites, and commercial facilities — so your island microgrid can meet all your electricity needs with generator-off operation, minimum generator loading, sheddable loads, and spinning reserve management.
ARC automatically saves you on energy usage while providing resilient power by optimizing the microgrid around the utility rate seamlessly and reducing the amount of energy purchased from utilities during peak times with time of use (TOU) shifting, reducing the facility peak with demand charge management, and controlling the power flow at the point of common coupling (PCC) to meet utility interconnect requirements.
