Power control technology integrates demand and generation assets

Hingham, MA - Russelectric, A Siemens Business, announces its Advanced Microgrid Control Solution, adding value to a facility's infrastructure through power quality, resiliency, cost reduction, carbon minimization and grid market transaction participation. At the core of the Advanced Microgrid Control Solution, Russelectric's transfer switches, switchgear, and power controllers provide hardware, data, and control integration of a facility's onsite demand and generation assets. This integrated hardware and software solution optimizes loads and generation sources. In doing so, it delivers all the benefits from a wide range of distributed energy resources (DER) technologies.
