THE CONTROL LAYER BEHIND ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE

Start simple. Scale smart. Operate with confidence.

Not every project needs full microgrid capability, but every project deserves smart control. That’s why Discover has designed a scalable controls ecosystem that grows with your needs. Whether you're managing basic demand charges or operating a fully resilient off-grid system, our architecture layers control, precision, and protection exactly where your project requires it.

Modular Architecture That Fits Your Project

Three-layers of controls delivers tailored functionality depending on site and project complexity:

Energy Management System (EMS)

For Economic Optimization and Peak Shaving 

Perfect for sites focused on cost savings and DER utilization. The EMS provides intelligent dispatch of the BESS and PV, integrating with smart meters, inverters, and utility rates. 

Used For:

• Peak shaving
• PV self-consumption
• Demand response programs
• Energy arbitrage 

No resiliency required? No problem — the EMS runs the show.

Microgrid Controller (MGC)

Add This Layer for Resiliency and Real-Time Site Control 

When continuity matters, the MGC delivers. It enables autonomous islanding, real-time coordination of generators, inverters, and loads, and ensures seamless transitions during outages. 

Used For: 

• Grid loss detection and automatic transfer 
• Generator synchronization 
• BESS grid-forming operation 
• Load shedding during faults
• Required for sites that must stay online when the grid goes offline.

Switchgear & Interconnection Systems

Advanced Power Distribution and Interconnect Logic 

For complex, multi-source projects, our engineered switchgear ensures safe power routing, UL-listed protection, and future-ready expansion. Built for real-time transitions, continuous operation, and zero-compromise reliability. 

Used For: 

• Modular utility/genset/PV/battery/load interconnects 
• Smart load shedding and interlocks 
• Grid interconnect for microgrid integration (MID) 

When your project demands custom distribution, we can deliver. 

▶ Explore Interface Systems

Our layered architecture doesn’t just run your energy system—it adapts with it. From utility-facing DR programs to autonomous island operation, our platform is ready for whatever the future demands.

Let us help you engineer the foundation of your energy independence.

CASE STUDY

Off-Grid Energy Resilience at Springville Foods, PA

Springville Foods, a Pennsylvania grocery store, saves money on their energy resilience by replacing costly diesel generators with Discover's AES 210HV energy storage system. The 418 kWh battery installation paired with 75kW solar delivers dramatic fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs while ensuring uninterrupted power to critical refrigeration, HVAC, and point-of-sale systems that are essential for food safety and operations.
