Power Plant Controllers with WAGO Power Plant Control
Power plant controllers help power plants achieve grid-compatible feed-in management at the grid connection point (GCP).
WAGO Power Plant Control allows plant operators and system integrators to meet the requirements for these controllers that are set on the grid side – flexibly and reliably. The solution is certified per VDE-AR-N 4110 and 4120.

Why are certified power plant controllers necessary?
The percentage of renewable energy in the power grid is increasing, and we want this increase to continue – but without endangering the stability of the grid. For this reason, the technical connection rules (TCRs) for decentralized power plants have been made tightened. A central element of this is a power plant controller, which must have a corresponding component certificate. With WAGO Power Plant Control, that’s not a problem.
Here’s How the WAGO Solution Works
The power plant controller forms the interface between the plant and the power supplier, the grid operator the direct marketer, in order to allow the control power to be sold on the exchange, for example. In the process, it regulates the setpoint values for active and/or reactive power at the grid connection point (GCP). It compares these setpoints to the measured actual values at the GCP and communicates the calculated control variable to the generating systems. With the help of the power plant controller, the grid operator can control the plant feed-in via specified characteristics on the generator side.
Your Path with WAGO to Grid-Compliant
Plant Connection and Operation
WAGO lets you choose your path to grid-compliant plant connection and operation with a certified power plant controller. Either we will support you in assembling the necessary components, or you can take advantage of our network of system integrators and hire them for the implementation service.
Implementing Power Plant Controllers Yourself
Our Sales department will support you in selecting hardware to implement grid-compliant plant connection and operation yourself. You can also get further support, e.g. with the necessary e!COCKPIT programming knowledge, from our free customer support and our telecontrol technology and programming training program.
Order Power Plant Controllers
If you have neither the time nor the know-how to connect your plant to the grid correctly, then hire a WAGO Solution Provider (WSP) as a kind of all-inclusive package. They will provide the complete solution – from procuring the appropriate components, to implementing and commissioning, to documentation.
