Controls and hardware

Equipment and controller details

Manufacturer and model are shown only when a source names them. Generic descriptions are not converted into guessed product assignments.

01

Microgrid controller

IPERC — GridMaster

Peer-to-peer controller nodes sit with microgrid equipment and automatically reconfigure when components change or fail. [3]

02

Integrated storage and inverter module

Go Electric, Inc.

High-speed transfer switches and controls transfer load to batteries in less than one electrical cycle before synchronizing generation. [2]
