Evolving energy demands, regulations, and technologies can be complicated. Your energy controls shouldn’t be. The new Cat® ECS range offers a series of integrated, connected, and scalable controllers which enables customers to flexibly manage their energy needs, from single generators to cohesive full-site microgrid solutions which link multiple assets. All in a modern and easy-to-use interface.
As the energy ecosystem evolves, so does the need for distributed generation resources and the innovative solutions necessary to manage them. Designed by Caterpillar’s network of global engineering experts for a changing regulatory environment and more control of advanced energy systems, the portfolio meets most major grid requirements and utilizes simple, scalable architecture, which allows customers to layer additional functionality and serviceability in line with changing energy needs.
Wherever you are on your energy journey, and whatever the future may bring, this updated energy control system has the flexibility, scalability, and connectivity to support your operation.
The range includes:
As with all Cat products, our global network of dealers is the best in the business, and experts are available locally to provide full product support, including a warranty, training, and service.
Be confident your site has a reliable control system that is future-proof and able to work with your existing assets throughout the energy transition.
The new controllers meet new global grid code and regulatory requirements, including UL 6200, and are powerful enough to meet future ones. Factory-engineered to ensure compatibility and a consistent customer experience with on-site power products, the Cat ECS controllers include an innovative plug-and-play feature to make installation and commissioning of additional modules faster.
The new system, offering faster communication and a modern user interface, provides a simple solution for energy management. The energy control system also offers warnings, automatic shutdown, voltage data, and event history while engine protection monitors fluids, temperature, and gas pressure.
