Delivering complete, intelligent energy ecosystems for industrial and commercial applications

Pramac continues to strengthen its position as a strategic partner in the energy transition by showcasing its integrated approach to Energy Management Systems (EMS) and microgrid controllers, with PSEC – Pramac Smart Energy Controller at the core. This solution reflects Pramac’s ability to combine advanced engineering with a holistic vision, enabling businesses to achieve energy autonomy, resilience, and cost optimization.

Integrated Architecture for Smarter Energy

Modern energy systems are evolving rapidly, driven by the need for flexibility, sustainability, and operational security. Pramac integrated EMS architecture responds to these challenges by coordinating distributed resources, such as battery storage, renewable generation, EV charging infrastructure, and backup generators, within a unified control framework.

The integration between the EMS and microgrid controller capabilities enables intelligent and dynamic management of energy flows, ensuring optimal system performance under both grid-connected and islanded operating conditions. This functionality is vital in industrial and commercial settings where operational continuity, energy efficiency, and cost optimization are paramount.

PSEC: The Intelligence Behind the System

At the heart of this architecture lies PSEC, the Pramac Smart Energy Controller. More than a simple control unit, PSEC acts as the decision-making hub for the entire ecosystem. Its modular and scalable design supports a wide range of applications, including:

• Self-Consumption: Intelligent energy management maximizes on-site use of locally generated power, reducing grid imports and increasing system efficiency.
• Peak Shaving: Adaptive algorithms reduce peak power drawn from the grid, minimizing demand charges and avoiding penalties.
• Multi-Use: By combining Self-Consumption and Peak Shaving, the PSEC optimizes energy usage dynamically. A defined SoC (State of Charge) threshold enables automatic switching between modes, maximizing both self-consumption and peak reduction efficiency.
• Grid Services: Enables participation in ancillary services such as frequency regulation and demand response, contributing to grid stability.
• Microgrid Management: Ensures coordinated control of distributed energy resources and loads under all operating conditions. It facilitates autonomous operation during grid outages (islanded mode), optimizes energy flows and stability during normal grid-connected operation, and guarantees safe reconnection when grid service is restored.

PSEC integrates seamlessly with diverse assets through standard communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU, ensuring interoperability and futureproofing. Advanced algorithms optimize dispatch strategies based on real-time data, while cybersecurity safeguards and GDPR-compliant cloud hosting guarantee secure remote operations. Continuous Over-The-Air (OTA) updates deliver new features and security improvements seamlessly, ensuring the system evolves without disrupting operations.

Microgrid Intelligence for Complete Energy Autonomy

Expanding beyond traditional energy control, the PSEC adds intelligent coordination for complex microgrid environments, seamlessly managing battery storage and backup generators. In both hybrid and off-grid setups, PSEC continuously balances generation and consumption, automatically activating the generator when battery levels are low and optimizing the energy mix for maximum efficiency and resilience.

Once optimal charge is restored, the system transitions smoothly back to battery operation, ensuring uninterrupted power and minimizing fuel use. With advanced synchronization and fast response capability, the PSEC maintains power quality and adapts dynamically to changing load conditions.

This level of intelligence allows PSEC to serve as the true brain of a microgrid – enabling reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy autonomy for industrial and commercial applications.

Engineering Excellence and Strategic Vision

Pramac’s approach goes beyond product development. By combining edge intelligence with cloud-based analytics, the EMS powered by PSEC delivers a comprehensive platform for energy optimization. Features such as digital twin configuration, over-the-air updates, and role-based access control simplify deployment and lifecycle management, reducing total cost of ownership.

This integrated solution is particularly well-suited for industrial sites that require resilience and operational continuity, logistics hubs and retail centers aiming to optimize energy costs, and local energy communities focused on self-consumption and achieving sustainability goals.

Driving the Energy Transition

The energy landscape is shifting toward decentralized models, where microgrids and distributed energy resources play a central role. Pramac’s integrated ecosystem positions the company as a trusted partner for organizations navigating this transformation. By delivering complete, intelligent solutions, Pramac enables businesses to meet regulatory requirements, reduce environmental impact, and unlock new revenue streams through grid services.
