Turnkey PMS and PPC for Grid Modernization

We offer Power-Management-Systems (PMS) and Power-Plant-Controller (PPC) to turn power-distribution systems into smart grids. Our solutions can adjust electricity consumption in real-time based on demand and can inject power back to the utility grid with respect to Power-Purchase-Agreement s (PPAs) and Feed-In-Tariff (FIT). Additionally, our solutions will enhance grid's capacity and resiliency to minimize penalties posed by power-outage legislation.
