Microgrids: Components of the Hybrid Microgrid
Advanced Solar Solution
Powered by advanced thin-film solar modules that are setting the industry benchmark for improved performance that delivers:
- Top performance. Reliable and predictable power in all climates, particularly high temperatures, high humidity, extreme desert and coastal environments.
- Robust modules. Modules are independently tested to pass accelerated life and stress tests.
- Scalable, compatible and easy to install. A fully scalable, pre-engineered solar solution that is compatible with other systems and easy to install.
Controls: Cat Microgrid Master Controller (MMC)
The Cat MMC is the brain of this distributed generation system. It is responsible for integrating all systems, including grid management in systems connected to the main grid, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to loads with high quality energy at the lowest price.
Combined energy storage with the “Bi-directional Power” (BDP) power supply module:
The new Cat BDP module represents the latest technology in power conversion equipment and storage systems. It includes the renowned power converter developed by Caterpillar that has proven its reliability and safety in the harshest environments, demonstrated by its use in the Cat D7E track-type tractor.
