Parallel generator set controller MGC series

synchronizationmultiplewith multi-bus tie breaker management

Overview
The PowerCommand Microgrid Control® (MGC) suite provides centralized control for distributed energy power systems. Available in two models (MGC300 and MGC900), the MGC family manages renewable sources (solar, wind), energy storage and gensets through a single interface to operate integrated microgrid architectures. Both models optimize energy flow across assets to maximize renewable output and reduce levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and total cost of ownership (TCO), while supporting customized system topologies and configurations.
