CivicGrid 500 consists of several coordinated subsystems that collectively manage generation, energy storage, power conversion, system control, and facility electrical loads.
Major Subsystems
| Subsystem | Primary Function | Relationship to System |
|---|---|---|
| BESS | Stores electrical energy for later use. | Provides stored energy to support facility loads and system operation. |
| PCS | Converts and controls electrical power between system components. | Connects the BESS and electrical system and supports controlled power flow. |
| MGC | Coordinates system-level control and operating transitions. | Manages system response to operating conditions such as utility loss and restoration. |
| EMS | Monitors and manages energy-related information and control functions. | Provides energy status, monitoring, and configured energy-management functions. |
