Green, reliable hybrid power and microgrid solutions
Read our hybrid application guide
Increasing environmental concerns and consumer demand for green power make hybrid and microgrid power more popular than ever. A hybrid microgrid combines two or more power sources, often including renewables, and is an optimum solution for achieving optimum power system reliability and resilience while cutting carbon emissions, saving fuel, and reducing maintenance requirements.
DEIF offers intelligent and reliable control solutions for a wide range of greenfield and brownfield hybrid applications, allowing you to design green and reliable power solutions that can be scaled and reconfigured as required and which can include fossil and renewable power sources plus energy storage.
Greenfield or brownfield?
- In greenfield applications, you design a hybrid power plant with DEIF power/energy management systems (PMS/EMS) from the ground up. DEIF controllers allow you to design for a wide range of solutions with built-in features that ensure flexibility, scalability, reliability, and redundancy.
- In brownfield applications, you integrate single DEIF hybrid controllers in existing power plants with 3rd party controllers or a pre-existing EMS/PMS, expanding the solution with a wide range of control options. You can also deploy them in standalone off-grid or mains parallel applications.

Off-grid applications
- With a genset:
The controller uses the genset power measurements to calculate the set points for the PV power.
- With storage:
The controller combines the available PV power with the charge/discharge scheme to determine the set point for the PV power.
