An automated smart-grid battery storage controller uses the following algorithm to manage system operations, but it does not make efficient use of selection structures.

1   WHILE (controllerActive = True) DO
2
3       RECEIVE gridDemand FROM GRID_SENSOR
4       IF (gridDemand > 50) THEN
5           SET batteryMode TO "Discharging"
6       END IF
7
8       RECEIVE batteryTemp FROM TEMP_SENSOR
9       IF (batteryTemp > 45) THEN
10          SET coolingFan TO "High"
11      END IF

13      RECEIVE stateOfCharge FROM SOC_SENSOR
14      IF (stateOfCharge < 20) THEN
15          SET lowPowerWarning TO "Active"
16      END IF
