One controller, coordinating every asset, on or off the grid Sophisticated microgrid controls are now critical for data center and other large load energy management. HybridOS™ offers one pre-integrated system to orchestrate every energy asset in real time and dispatch based on availability and site conditions. Schedule a demo Stay powered through grid instability Automatic transitions between grid-tied and island operation, without a loss of power quality. Reliable backup power, without the interruption Battery, solar, and generator power dispatched automatically from a single control scheme. Quickly adapt to fluctuating AI power loads and demand peaks Ramp rate control, load smoothing, and power discharge for sites where demand shifts in milliseconds, not minutes. Microgrid Controls The core orchestration layer for every asset One controller, dispatching every asset based on availability and site conditions. Power balancing across generation and load in real time Islanding and seamless grid resynchronization that factors in voltage, frequency, and phase angle Black start sequencing, managing transformer inrush, and coordinating startup before assets assume voltage and frequency control Multi-source generator orchestration across diesel, gas turbine, and other generation assets alongside battery and solar Ramp Rate Controls Coordinate complex and variable conditions with ease Keeps power smooth and stable during transitions and in response to variable grid or load conditions. AI-driven load smoothing to flatten fast or irregular demand Coordinate ramp rates across complex electrical topologies Ramp rate control tuned to interconnection requirements and point-of-interconnection (POI) limits Quick Response Applications Reliable controls for managing demand Sites with fast, variable demand need rapid responses. Load following for loads that ramp up and down rapidly Frequency response and black start in combination, not just in isolation Peak demand management to reduce grid stress and optimize revenue Behind-the-meter dispatch for sites without a firm utility connection Built to adapt as your generation and hardware mix does As demand surges, reliability expectations climb, and on-site energy portfolios grow more dynamic, the software layer coordinating it all matters more than ever. HybridOS™ integrates with different interfaces and controllers, making it easy to follow less predictable load shifts, and FlexGen has fielded quick-response microgrid controller applications, not just modeled them in a lab.

Frequently Asked Questions What is a microgrid controller, and what does HybridOS™ do? A microgrid controller coordinates every generation and storage asset on a site so they act as one system rather than several independent ones. HybridOS™ does this from a single platform, sending and receiving signals across battery, solar, generators, and switchgear to keep a site powered whether it's grid-tied, islanded, or transitioning between the two. Can HybridOS™ handle island transitions and black start? Yes. HybridOS™ manages the transition between grid-tied and island operation and can bring a site up from zero using battery or generator as the initial source. Both are core to the microgrid controls layer of the platform. What's the difference between microgrid controls and ramp rate controls? Microgrid controls decide what gets dispatched and when: island transitions, generator orchestration, black start. Ramp rate controls govern how smoothly that dispatch happens, including load smoothing and low-voltage ride-through (LVRT). Sites with fast-changing demand typically need both working together. Does HybridOS™ support both utility-scale and behind-the-meter microgrids? HybridOS™ has been deployed across utility, community, commercial, and industrial microgrids, and the same orchestration and ramp rate controls extend to behind-the-meter applications, including sites supporting data centers and AI compute and training loads. How does HybridOS™ handle fast-changing loads, like AI training workloads? AI loads can ramp up and down in milliseconds. Battery response is currently the fastest way to follow a load like that, and HybridOS™ combines microgrid orchestration with ramp rate control and load smoothing to keep the site's output stable even as demand shifts quickly. What is LVRT, and why does it matter for microgrids? Low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) keeps a site online through a grid disturbance instead of tripping offline. For microgrids with a utility connection, this protects the site from instability originating on the grid side of the interconnection. What generation sources can HybridOS™ coordinate? HybridOS™ coordinates battery storage, solar, diesel generators, gas turbines, and grid interconnection, dispatching whichever combination is available and appropriate for current site conditions.
