Hybrid Power Automation System for NorthWest Hospital project overview

Client Challenge

The hospital's two solar inverters, grid connection and backup generator operated without unified control, risking inconsistent power flow, no real-time visibility, and possible generator damage from reverse power.

Scope of Work

Project scope details are available from the engineering team.

Solution Architecture

Automatrix implemented a PLC and HMI based automation system providing full local and remote control over power flow, source priority management, and load optimization across all three sources.

Implementation & Commissioning

Added real-time local and remote monitoring via web and mobile platforms, a lifetime cloud subscription for 24/7 access, flexible grid export control (Zero Export or net-metering compliant maximum export), and generator reverse power protection with smooth multi-source synchronization.
