Spinning reserve optimisation: Elum controllers manage each genset automatically depending on the period of the day, the day of the week and the weather conditions. Spinning reserve level is set to ensure stability & reliability while minimizing fuel consumption.
Minimum genset loading: Elum controllers monitor each genset and, if needed, curtail PV power to ensure that each active genset operates above a minimum load to avoid low-speed and poor fuel combustion.
Diesel-off mode: In systems with storage, when the PV production is sufficient, Elum controllers switch off the gensets and ensure the spinning reserve through the Energy Storage System.

Grid feed-in management: Some grid operators do not allow to reverse power on their grid. Elum controllers curtail the exact amount of solar power to maximize solar penetration while avoiding any penalty from the grid operator.
Active / reactive power control: Elum power plant controller ensure compliance of the PV plant with country grid code through power control while maximizing power output and plant revenue
Load control: Elum controllers are able to manage load equipments
– Direct integration: electric vehicle charging stations
– Relay control: air-conditioning, water-heater, etc.
