Ageto was founded in 2018 with the goal of accelerating the adoption of renewable energy by simplifying the integration and control of off-grid and behind-the-meter power systems.

The Ageto renewable energy controller (ARC) is an on-site microgrid controller, capable of managing grid services (such as energy arbitrage and demand charge management) and resiliency services/backup power for commercial and industrial projects.

ARC is a resource-agnostic device and, thus, is able to integrate with a wide range of solar inverters, energy storage inverters, battery management systems, power meters, protective relays, weather stations, and engine generator controllers.

If a project requires a device that is not on our existing list of previously integrated products, Ageto is able to build out additional communication and control drivers as needed.

The controller works on-site where an internet connection is not required for operation but is necessary for remote monitoring and remote access. It features full logging of electrical data for each asset monitored, and system alarms and notifications are sent to system users via email or text SMS.

The solution also has a UPS so it can black-start the system after an outage.

Per project basis with on going software fees.

• Flexibility and dependability - ARC is a resource-agnostic device and thus is able to integrate with a wide range of solar inverters, energy storage inverters, battery management systems, power meters, protective relays, and weather stations.
• Operations - Control commands are dispatched every second and the site data for each monitored asset can be viewed through Ageto's cloud-based platform.
• Data management - 30-second interval data can be downloaded in .csv format.
• Accessibility - Users with high-level access can either make system adjustments on-site through the faceplate user interface (or external hardwired computer) or remotely through a secure VPN connection.
• Range of DERs managed - Ageto ARC has managed the following technologies: solar PV, lithium battery storage, iron flow batteries, vanadium flow batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, flywheels, wind generators, reciprocating diesel and natural gas generators, weather stations, protective relays, commercial/industrial/large residential loads.

Microgrid project development and implementation process are famously complex. Developers struggle to find solutions in a landscape of distributed energy resources (DERs) without a top level-software to pull them together. Ageto aims to solve this issue with its microgrid energy management system, the ARC microgrid controller.

Ageto focuses on helping developers of commercial and industrial microgrid projects who were an underserved market with most of the MGCs focusing on bigger scale deployments in the tens of MW range. By using ARC, customers can meet not only desired utility bill savings, but also provide facility resiliency as well.
