necessary functions for genset protection. It stands out for its reliability and operator-friendliness.

• The AGC 150 Hybrid comes with all the necessary functions for protection and control of a hybrid

installation with PV and genset.

• The AGC 150 Engine Drive controller provides engine protection and controls engine start and stop

sequences, including simple fixed- and variable speed functions for pump applications.

• The AGC 150 Remote Display unit provides access and control of any master controller in the AGC

150 series over the local network. This provides fast incident response and operational convenience.

• The AGC 150 PMS Lite controller is ideal for setting up and operating simple power management

systems in off-grid plants with up to 128 gensets.

The AGC 150 Genset controller containing all necessary functions for control and protection of a genset.

The slim design makes the genset controller suitable for paralleling even small gensets thus the AGC

150 is integrable in nearly all types of gensets.

AGC 150 – Advanced Genset Controller

Easy setup

Gensets connected via CAN bus are easily set up for parallel operation as the controllers automatically

detect each other at the CAN network. If you at a later stage connect more gensets, the controller

automatically identifies and connects them via CAN bus, and application configuration is possible via

the display.

Easy and safe to use

Get access to important genset information quickly via the sunlight readable LCD.

The controller features illuminated buttons that smoothly guide the operator and make it very easy

and intuitive to operate. Only buttons relevant for a function are visible to the user. Get easy access

to the most common functions with configurable shortcuts.

The AGC 150 provides up to three levels (customer, service, and master) of password-protected and

role-based access. Configure parameters for each level and have only relevant parameters displayed.

Built to last – also in green energy applications

The AGC 150 comes with uncompromising quality. The controller is made of robust materials and is

built to last. It has undergone several tests showing that it stands wear and tear in all types of harsh

environments. Also, the controller is suitable for PV-Diesel hybrid solutions and also meets Tier 4 Final

requirements

Key features of modern ATS controllers

Supports Any Power Source

Advanced ATS units can operate in both traditional Generator–Mains mode and Source–Source mode. This means they can handle virtually any setup-including dual mains inputs, genset‑hybrid combinations, and renewable energy sources.

Seamless Blackout Prevention

With features like overlap switching, modern ATS controllers prevent blackouts by keeping both breakers closed for a user‑defined period, allowing short‑time paralleling for a smooth transition between sources.

Flexible 2‑ or 3‑Breaker Operation

Whether your system uses two or three breakers, a quality ATS controller can be configured to handle complex setups-such as opening and closing bus tie breakers between two power sources-making it suitable for global applications across many industries.

Easy Installation & Intuitive Operation

IP65‑certified, front‑mounted designs and sunlight‑readable LCD displays make the newest ATS controllers simple to install and operate. With configurable parameters and support for utility software like M‑Logic, setup becomes fast and user‑friendly.

ATS controllers (Automatic Transfer Switch controllers) are essential components in emergency power systems, ensuring seamless and reliable transfer between primary and backup power sources. Modern ATS controllers-such as the advanced AGC‑150 ATS-are designed to enhance uptime, protect critical equipment, and maintain stable power in facilities of all sizes.

What is an ATS controller?

An ATS controller monitors the primary power source for voltage, frequency, and other irregularities. If an outage or anomaly occurs, the controller automatically switches to a secondary power source-such as a genset, renewable system, or battery energy storage-ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Why choose a modern ATS Controller?

• Minimize downtime during grid failures

• Optimize power flow across multiple sources

• Enhance safety and equipment protection

• Support hybrid and renewable power systems

• Ensure automatic, hands‑off system operation

Whether you are managing a data center, commercial building, industrial facility, or renewable‑hybrid power plant, the right ATS controller ensures your power system performs safely and efficiently under all conditions.

Why choose DEIF for energy storage?

With DEIF, you get more than just a product; you get a partner committed to your success. Our energy storage controllers are highly configurable and compatible with a wide range of equipment. They support various control strategies and operating modes, ensuring that your energy storage system meets your specific needs. Experience the benefits of reduced operational costs, improved sustainability, and enhanced power quality with DEIF’s innovative solutions.

Key benefits of hybrid power

Hybrid power reduces emissions by maximising green energy penetration in your energy mix while ensuring reliable power. It improves the efficiency of diesel generators, helping you cut emissions and extend service life. And you can achieve hybrid profitability through lower operating costs, reduced mains power use, and lower fuel consumption.

Designed for scalability and compatibility

The ability to flexibly combine power sources makes hybrid power solutions both sustainable and reliable. DEIF control solutions add to this flexibility by facilitating quick system reconfiguration, letting you scale and redesign your solution as required. New controllers are onboarded automatically as soon as they are connected, including them in the energy management logic and helping you meet your business objectives.

In greenfield applications, DEIF hybrid microgrid controllers form complete energy management systems (EMS) or power management systems (PMS), ensuring reliability and resilience. In brownfield applications, they can be integrated in third-party EMS/PMS solutions or deployed on their own in standalone off-grid or mains parallel applications.

Hybrid microgrid controllers

Our complete range of hybrid microgrid controllers helps you enjoy the benefits of hybrid power generation in a wide range of applications. You can design, run, and supervise greenfield hybrid power plants, or add hybrid capabilities to existing power plants using our controllers for brownfield applications including power rental.

Greenfield or brownfield?

In greenfield applications, you design a hybrid power plant with DEIF power/energy management systems (PMS/EMS) from the ground up. DEIF controllers allow you to design for a wide range of solutions with built-in features that ensure flexibility, scalability, reliability, and redundancy.

In brownfield applications, you integrate single DEIF hybrid microgrid controllers in existing power plants with 3rd party controllers or a pre-existing EMS/PMS, expanding the solution with a wide range of control options. You can also deploy them in standalone off-grid or mains parallel applications.

Hybrid capabilities in a wide range of applications

DEIF hybrid microgrid controllers handle all renewable power sources, from PV panels to wind turbines, as well as battery energy storage solutions (ESS). In addition, they can interface with mains and genset controllers, enabling you to combine a wide range of power sources in your hybrid power plant.

Compatible with all SCADA systems and a wide range of PV and ESS inverters and battery management systems, our controllers are suitable for smart energy control in many different off-grid or mains parallel applications such as micro grids and nano grids; commercial and industrial sites; and events such as concerts, festivals, or camps.
