Controllers, EMS (Energy Management Systems), and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are the operational “brains” of modern energy systems. This hub explains how these technologies work together to monitor equipment, automate decisions, maintain grid compliance, and optimize performance across DER assets such as solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, and microgrids.Â
Controllers, EMS (Energy Management Systems), and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are the operational “brains” of modern energy systems—monitoring equipment, automating decisions, maintaining grid compliance, and optimizing performance across DER assets.
Choosing the right controller is critical for system reliability, safety, and performance. Learn controller types, key features, communication protocols, and how to match capabilities to solar + storage, microgrids, EV charging, and utility interconnection needs.
Learn moreCompare controller options side-by-side: supported protocols, DER compatibility, grid-forming vs grid-following functions, cybersecurity readiness, scalability, and EMS/SCADA integration—so you can select the best-fit controller for your application.
Learn moreEMS and SCADA serve different but complementary roles. Learn what each platform does, how they communicate with field devices, what data they manage, and when you need one—or both—across solar + storage, microgrid, and utility-scale deployments.
Learn moreControl strategies determine how DER assets behave under normal and abnormal conditions. Explore peak shaving, load shifting, frequency/voltage support, islanding response, black start readiness, demand response participation, and optimization for cost savings and grid compliance.
