Some of the features are such as:
· Your Design
Ø Standard product line
Transparent pricing and standardized product features to speed-up quotation processes
Ø System design flexibility
Our controllers can operate with most brands of inverters, battery PCS, genset controllers on the market, bringing system design flexibility.
· Your Commissioning
Ø Autonomous commissioning
Controllers can be deployed in full autonomy. no trained engineer is required onsite reducing commissioning time and cost.
Ø Expert assistance
If required. ELUM experts in microgrid controls provide their expertise (local or remotely) ensuring a smooth deployment.
· Your Operations
Ø Efficiency Optimisation
Control algorithms ensures best operating schedule under specified constraints (modifiable parameters).
Ø Upgrade possibilities
In case of system evolution (adding solar, BESS) upgrade is pushed over the air to fit new situation.
· Safe operation
ELUM Energy – Compatibility
ELUM products are compatible with large number of equipment from different companies.

Grid Following vs. Grid Forming
Grid Following unit
- As the name implies, DERs follow the grid(tracks voltage and frequency) – (U/f).
- Active and reactive power injection -(P/Q).
What is a grid code?
Ø A set of rules on voltage / frequency
(amplitude, phase, bandwidth) to follow to be authorized to inject power to the grid.
- A set of rules on P/Q Power Injection
(ramping constraints/specific conditions based on inputs receive from grid manager).

Grid Forming unit
- DER sets voltage magnitude and frequency ofthe Microgrid.
- There is only one source which can be thegrid forming unit.
- Different Grid-forming unit sources have to beseparated by an Automated transfer switch (ATS) – (genset paralleling controllers may provide this feature).

Grid Following
- Grid-tied Solar inverters are alwaysgrid following.
- PCS inverters can be grid following.
- Diesel generators can be grid following.
Grid Forming
- PCS inverters can be grid forming.
- Diesel generators can be grid forming.
- Hybrid inverters (Solar inverters + PCS inverters in one)are most of the time grid forming.
