The brains behind microgrids

EDGE AI controllers are essential for advanced microgrids. Without such a controller, it’s impossible to manage the complexities of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, battery storage systems, and EV charging stations. Controllers effortlessly enable real-time automation and efficient power distribution. Discover how you can customize your EDGE AI controllers via our Frequenz platform below.

OVERVIEW
What's an AI controller?
An EDGE AI Controller is a sophisticated piece of hardware equipped with advanced AI capabilities. It operates at the 'edge' of the network where it processes data locally, at or near the source of your data.

This approach reduces latency, minimizes bandwidth use, and enhances the system's ability to make immediate, autonomous decisions based on real-time data – even if you’re not connected to the cloud.
HOW IT WORKS
How it works
In the context of a microgrid, the EDGE AI Controller acts as the brain of the microgrid, intelligently managing various DERs like solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage systems, and EV charging stations.

By analyzing data and forecasting energy production, consumption, and external factors like market prices and weather conditions, the controller optimizes energy distribution and storage, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability.

Core Features

Data
pipeline

Access historical data and get resampled live streaming of current and power values from all electrical components.

Stream aggregated metrics, use automatically generated formulas for fetching composite values like grid power, total battery power, etc., or compose data streams to build your own formulas from multiple electric meters.

‍

Dynamic
configuration

Dynamically reconfigure all features of the SDK in real-time, including changes to the electrical component graph, or the automatically generated power formulas from multiple meters.

Additionally, you can subscribe to be notified of configuration changes that have been made in the UI and dynamically re-configure your own actors.

Power
Management

With multiple batteries, charge and discharge requests are distributed across the batteries in such a way that their charge levels remain balanced, which helps maximize the available battery power at all times.

Conflicting power requests from different actors will seamlessly converge into a single decision based on actor priorities.
