The developments in renewable power technologies and the ineffiency of distributing power from centralized generators is currently leading the way to microgrids that will revolutionize power topology for the first time since AC won the AC-DC competition.
If the previous overview sounded a bit too theoretical then imagine this scenario…borrowing a cup of sugar from the neighbour is an ancient tradition…so if your house solar system ran out of power then how about borrowing power from your neighbour if he had any spare? Currently your only options are to buy more power in from the grid at a premium and then later return your excess generation to the grid at a pittance.
CATIM control PLC’s solution can manage your resources not just by optimising the use and statistics but also to source resources automatically at the best value.
