Your challenge

As the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar panels, wind turbines and battery storage systems increases, Utilities face the challenge of efficiently managing these diverse energy resources. It is necessary to balance the integration of DERs to meet sustainability goals while ensuring regulatory compliance and the reliability of the electrical grid.

Your focused solution


A tailor-made complete solution for the efficient management of DERs. Grid Feeding System continuously monitors utility grid parameters such as frequency and voltage, and effectively manages the connections of DERs to the grid. By doing so, it ensures stable and safe integration of DERs, promoting grid reliability and regulatory compliance.

assets-lifetime
Grid stability
Ensures that DERs operates in harmony with the electrical grid in terms of voltage and frequency regulation.
Maximize safety and reliability
Safety
Prevents safety hazards by detecting unintentional islanding phenomena and equipment damage by detecting frequency and voltage variations.
Easy installation
Compliance with regulations

Procures the compliance of DERs with the requirements of different grid operators.

Continuous operations
Availability

In case of temporary grid disturbances, facilitate the automatic reconnection of DERs to the grid once stability is restored.
