DEIF ASC plant management Automatic sustainable controller

Automatic sustainable controller, ASC Plant Management

Serving as a link between photovoltaic (PV) power plants and genset power plants,

DEIF’s Automatic Sustainable Controller (ASC Plant Management) is

a safe and reliable control solution for PV/genset hybrid plants.

Maximising sustainable power penetration

The ASC Plant Management will in any operation mode automatically maximise

sustainable power penetration, depending on the total load demand to

the hybrid without compromising constraints such as minimum genset load demand.

Minimum genset load in island operation

Minimum genset load constraint is available in the ASC Plant Management.

The constraint applies in island operation only. This constraint will cause the

sustainable power penetration to decrease in case it is compromised.

This is to secure a certain amount of load on the gensets, eliminating the risk

of reverse power situations and impure combustion and exhaust problems.

Spinning reserve

The ASC Plant Management offers spinning reserve support as a percentage of the produced power,

as part of an existing superior system (for instance an existing PLC system) or by means

of short-term cloud detection functionality, depending on your application and requirements.

Ideal for self-consumption applications

While in grid parallel mode, the ASC Plant Management is capable of feeding surplus PV

energy to the grid and generate profit in accordance with grip operator feed-in tariffs.

Alternatively, the ASC Plant Management can regulate the PV production to match the

self-consumption thereby preventing any feed-in of PV power

to the grid if prohibited by grid operator regulations.
