Distributed power controller for high-reliability voltage, frequency, and reactive control offered by WAGO

GERMANTOWN, Wis. – WAGO Corp. in Germantown, Wis., is introducing the distributed energy resources (DER) controller for voltage, frequency, and reactive power control.

The DER controller is a library function block with a control algorithm that helps ensure a high-reliability power system. The DER connection to the grid requires communication between the energy source and the operator.

The controller uses standards like IEEE 1547-2018 to provide a trouble-free connection between systems. Of the 11 clauses related to IEEE 1547-2018, WAGO's DER supports clauses 5 and 10. Clause 5 deals with reactive power and voltage/power control.

This reinforces Clause 10 which handles interoperability for information exchange. The library function block in these controllers is programmed with CODESYS 3.5 software and has been validated and verified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.
