How can arc monitor and control my microgrid assets?

Monitor and control all your microgrid assets from one user-friendly dashboard, both locally from the touchscreen and remotely via a secure VPN connection. ARC records data every second so you can monitor loads, solar estimates, energy production, and more for precision trending and troubleshooting.

What is a microgrid?

The DOE defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the power grid.

What is a community microgrid?

Community microgrids with multiple distribution circuits—integrate renewable resources, ensure resiliency, and reduce energy costs. We partner closely with microgrid owners and their contractors and integrators in planning, testing, and commissioning the control system.

What is a microgrid use case?

In this project, two microgrid use cases were explored. The first – intended for utilization by the city’s emergency management office – provided resilient and low-cost energy to a large emergency shelter, a grocery store, bank, pharmacy, and maintenance facility for machines which repair dikes and levees throughout New Orleans.

Why do microgrids need different control arrangements?

This suggests a need for capabilities that model different control arrangements, such as through ADMS, Aggregators or DERMS, and the visibility of control so that stakeholders may assess the degree to which the capabilities of the microgrid can be used to meet stated performance objectives as dictated by the controller arrangement.

What is a microgrid planning capability?

Planning capability that supports the ability to model and design new microgrid protection schemes that are more robust to changing conditions such as load types, inverter-based resources, and networked microgrids.
