What operating objective should the distributed-energy resource serve?
Distributed Energy Integration
Integrate energy resources without fragmenting facility operations.
TEKEPC coordinates distributed generation, storage, metering, control and facility-system interfaces so energy resources can participate safely and predictably within the wider operating environment.
01
Define operating priorities
02
Coordinate control boundaries
03
Preserve facility resilience
Energy-System Coordination
Adding an energy asset creates new operating relationships.
Generation and storage affect electrical systems, facility controls, demand management and operational response. Their integration must be defined as part of the facility architecture rather than treated as an isolated package.
How should facility loads, generation and storage interact under each mode?
Which controller or system has authority over each operating decision?
What information must be visible to operators and facility management?
Coordinate DER assets with facility operation
TEKEPC focuses on the control, communications and operating interfaces that determine how distributed-energy systems behave after installation.
DER Control Integration
Coordinate operating modes, enable signals, setpoints, constraints and status between energy assets and facility systems.
Battery Storage Interfaces
Integrate storage-system controls, status, alarms and operating information within defined facility requirements.
Metering & Power Information
Connect energy measurements required for dispatch, demand visibility and operating verification.
Facility-System Coordination
Align DER operation with BMS, energy management and other facility systems where operating objectives intersect.
DER Integration Architecture
Make authority and system responsibility explicit.
Distributed-energy integration is strongest when local equipment control, facility-level coordination and external interfaces have clearly defined responsibilities.
Energy Asset
Generation, storage and associated equipment execute their internal operating and protection functions.
Local Control
Asset controllers manage local setpoints, operating states, diagnostics and equipment interfaces.
Facility Coordination
Facility systems determine how DER operation interacts with loads, schedules and site priorities.
Energy Information
Metering and status information provide visibility into production, consumption, storage and demand.
Operational Interface
Operators receive the status, alarms and controls required to understand energy-system behaviour.
Operating Objectives
Technology should follow the facility's energy strategy.
Different sites require different combinations of resilience, demand management, generation, storage and energy performance.
Resilience
Coordinate resources around the facility's defined continuity and operating requirements.
Demand Management
Use generation, storage and controllable loads within an agreed demand strategy.
Visibility
Provide operators with clear information about resource status and contribution.
Maintainability
Preserve interfaces, documentation and operational knowledge for future support.
From energy objective to coordinated operation
Distributed-energy integration progresses from use-case definition through system boundaries, implementation and operating verification.
Define
Confirm energy objectives, operating modes, facility constraints and resource priorities.
Interface
Define control authority, communications, metering and equipment-system boundaries.
Engineer
Develop control, monitoring, alarm and facility integration requirements.
Integrate
Implement communications and control interfaces across energy and facility systems.
Validate
Verify operating modes, status, alarms, control interactions and required performance.
Integration records that clarify how the energy system operates
The operating relationship between energy resources and facility systems should remain understandable long after startup.
Integration Architecture
System boundaries, control authority, communications, metering and facility-interface definitions.
Operating Logic
Modes, enable conditions, setpoints, constraints, alarms and system-response requirements.
Validation Baseline
Functional verification, system settings, as-built interfaces and final operating records.
DER integration across facilities with different operating priorities
The architecture should reflect how each site values resilience, demand control, energy performance and operational continuity.
Commercial Facilities
Generation and storage coordinated with building loads and facility-energy objectives.
Industrial Sites
DER systems integrated around production requirements and facility utility infrastructure.
Critical Facilities
Energy resources coordinated where continuity and operating-state visibility are particularly important.
Campuses
Multiple buildings and energy resources organized within shared facility and energy strategies.
Institutional Facilities
Distributed assets integrated with building controls and operational management.
Modernization Programs
New energy resources added to existing facility-control and electrical environments.
