Power Plant and Grid Control

The power management at the grid connection point is required for the efficient operation of an energy park (PGS). The PGS controller is the central component of the park, which can consist of different power generation units (PGU), such as CHP units, photovoltaic installations (PV), battery storage systems or wind turbines. This takes over the control of power and the resulting setting of manipulated variables for the individual power generation units.

The power set value for the entire park is transferred from higher-level instances such as supply network operators and direct marketers to the power plant controller. This in turn takes over the calculation of the set values for the individual PGUs and sends this information to the energy generators.
