Product Highlights

Solutions

Distributed Energy Resource Controllers

With the growth and changes in today’s energy industry, the demand to reduce carbon emissions with renewable electrical energy generated by Distributed Energy Resources (DER), grid operators must be able to monitor and control these new energy resources. Standards such as IEEE 1547-2018 have been adopted to provide a trouble-free connection between systems. WAGO DER controllers help reduce time to market of new systems due to its IEEE 1547-2018 verification.

Why Use WAGO?

  • Compliant with IEEE 1547-2018
  • Use the control capabilities of CODESYS 3.5 to monitor and control other functions of your system. •
  • Bridge multiple protocols with just one device: e.g., Modbus TCP/RTU/Sunspec, DNP3, CANbus, IEC61850, and more.

Smart Grid Monitoring and Control

The modern electrical grid is undergoing an unprecedented transformation due to exciting new innovations in renewable energy generation, electrification of transportation – with its associated high charging loads, and 2-way charging infrastructure improvements. More than ever, utilities and electrical distribution system operators need increasing amounts information to better ensure power quality, safety and reliability. To this end, better monitoring and control of low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) electrical power in front of and behind the electrical meter is necessary.

Why Use WAGO?

  • Cost-effective, rugged and reliable controllers with 500+ I/O modules for monitoring and/or control.
  • WAGO has extensive experience with and references for utilities, OEMs, and C&I end users.
  • Support for popular protocols such as DNP3, IEC61850, Modbus and more for efficient communication with remote control centers and field devices.

Hydrogen

In the fast-paced New Energy Landscape, Hydrogen is becoming one of the best enablers for a more carbon-free environment. WAGO technology enhances your journey to produce, transform, transport and utilize hydrogen at end user sites. WAGO’s best-in-class technology is used to connect, monitor and control your hydrogen assets.

Dynamic Load Management

Electric vehicle (EV) charging is growing in importance as part of the energy and mobility transition. Intelligent charging point distribution and load management is the key challenge in expanding e-mobility for grid operators, facility managers and industrial companies. For the e-mobility charging infrastructure, WAGO offers customized solutions for connection and energy flow control.

Customer Applications

The Digital Energy Transition with High-Tech Controllers

The expansion of renewable energies can only succeed if the fluctuating supplies from solar and wind arrays are compensated by flexible electrical consumers and batteries. Digital technology can help to solve this problem: Intelligent systems convert the analog electrical network into a communicative smart grid and pave the way for linking virtual power plants, generators and consumers.

The Multilingual Transformer Station

The security of the power supply can be easily endangered – for example, when an overly enthusiastic backhoe operator damages electrical lines during an excavation.

Wiring Inverters - Safely, Quickly and Easily With A Lever

The roofs of many homes are already adorned with photovoltaic systems. But to ensure that the electricity generated from solar power also finds its way to your sockets, you need an inverter. To make the connection as safe, quick, and easy as possible for the installer, Fronius uses the lever connection technology from WAGO for its GEN24 Plus inverter generation – currently making it one of a kind on the solar inverter market.
