Microgrid controllers are the talk of the industry because of their growing sophistication. The best of them infuse genius into generators, batteries and other pieces of the microgrid that would otherwise be dumb and inflexible. Microgrid controllers can forecast, figure and optimize — faster than any human being – to leverage these assets.
The aim of the project was to develop a commercially viable and flexible microgrid controller that can easily adapt to end-user applications and electric grid characteristics. The Electric Power Research Institute led a team that included Spirae, NREL, a microgrid system analytics consultant, 14 utilities, and three target communities.

Because SEL''s controller is able to operate at relay speeds, this can all be done seamlessly, which means processes stay online during islanding from the grid and resynchronizing to it. SEL controllers and systems allow the facility to stay online continuously, maximizing process uptime. SEL microgrid control systems can combine microgrid
