Why Microgrid Solutions?

Ensure continuous, cost-effective and sustainable power for critical operations. Microgrid Solutions give you access to a fully integrated physical, operational and financial control platform for complex, mission critical distributed energy systems, ranging from partial back-up generation and demand management to fully functional microgrids.

FEATURED CAPABILITIES

Optimize your microgrid with advanced controls

Retain business continuity

Allow seamless control of your facility’s electrical demand and generation assets, providing least cost, least emission business continuity strategies for both short and long duration outages.

A Siemens industrial control system, likely a PLC or I/O module, composed of several interconnected light-blue/gray units. The central module features a display screen showing 'SIEMENS,' 'I/O MODULE,' and input/output status indicators. Multiple smaller modules are attached, each with rows of white terminal blocks for electrical connections. A metal DIN rail mounting bracket is visible on the right side of the assembly.

Optimize power systems

Improve facility power quality, benefiting internal equipment and reducing utility power quality charges. Features include:

  • Dynamic islanding capability with blackout detection
  • Fast, reliable decoupling
  • Automatic black start of backup generators
  • Seamless grid resynchronization after outage
  • Real-time measurements for improved control
  • Generation offsetting and balancing
A Siemens industrial automation setup showing various hardware components connected to a large monitor. The foreground features two light-blue modular control units with multiple ports and terminal blocks, linked by green cables and mounted on a DIN rail. A larger, light-gray rack-mounted system is visible in the background, connected by a black cable. The monitor displays a detailed graphical user interface with graphs, numerical data, and status indicators, illustrating a process control or monitoring system.

Reduce energy costs

Optimize your facility’s controllable demands, onsite storage and power generation to reduce energy costs and cost volatility. Reduce utility metered demand or participate in demand response and ancillary service markets. Secure low-cost grid power by maintaining demand within defined boundaries or “collars.” Leverage batteries to store low-cost off-peak energy and release it on peak.

A large, light-gray industrial electrical cabinet or switchgear, featuring multiple vertical sections. The leftmost section has an open panel displaying a control schematic with red and green indicators, and a ventilation unit below it. Other sections are closed, marked with yellow electrical hazard warning symbols and various rectangular cutouts or components.

Lower green house gases

Fully integrate onsite renewable generation resources into your facility’s distributed energy system, reducing your facility’s GHG's & helping your company meet sustainability goals. Achieve sustainability goals and maximize renewable generation. Reduce deployment of nonrenewable onsite generation and grid power purchases.

An aerial view showcasing a landscape divided into two main sections: in the upper part, a cluster of traditional-style buildings with dark roofs is nestled along the edge of a winding river or lake, surrounded by some trees. In the lower part, a vast solar farm stretches across a green field, with numerous rows of blue solar panels neatly arranged. A narrow path or road separates the village and water from the solar panel array.
