Secure feed-in. Compliant control. Reliable operation.

The Weidmüller Power Plant Controller provides a central control solution for modern energy generation plants. It continuously monitors key grid parameters at the point of connection, controls active and reactive power and ensures that PV, wind and storage systems always operate in line with grid operator requirements.

Developed from real-world applications and based on practical project experience, the solution enables fast implementation and a high level of flexibility in operation. Thanks to its open system architecture, the Power Plant Controller can be easily adapted and extended, making it well prepared for future requirements and evolving grid regulations.

Experience the Power Plant Controller in our interactive 3D world

The Power Plant Controller is the central instance for monitoring and controlling energy generation plants at the grid connection point. In our interactive 3D world, you can explore how it ensures grid-compliant operation and integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures.

Weidmüller Power Plant Controller

At the core of the Power Plant Controller solution is the u-control system, combined with the open operating system u-OS and the integrated Power Plant Controller library. It is component certified and handles key control functions, including the implementation of external setpoints, active and reactive power control for grid stability, as well as monitoring and ensuring the safe operation of the power plant.

  • Connectivity via IEC 60870‑5‑101 / ‑104, Modbus TCP / RTU, OPC-UA and MQTT
  • Interfaces: Ethernet, serial communication (RS‑232 / RS‑485), analogue and digital I/Os and USB service interface
  • Secure remote access via VPN (e.g. OpenVPN, IPsec, u-link)
  • Integrated IT security and firewall functions, encrypted web visualisation and central user and access management
  • Visualisation, monitoring and reporting for maximum transparency: live dashboards, status monitoring, long-term data storage and export functions for grid operators, operators and certifiers

Integrated system solution

The Power Plant Controller combines all required components into an integrated system solution within the control cabinet. Discover each component in detail and explore how their interaction and integration ensure safe and grid‑compliant plant operation.
