Microgrids for Industrial Facilities
What is a Microgrid?
A microgrid is an engineered power delivery configuration consisting of on-site electric components either custom or modular in a connected and controlled environment to meet a very specific energy requirement while also focusing on the environment and sustainability while improving (or increasing) increasing resilience. Microgrids can operate connected to the utility or independently. Maybe say – “Microgrids that incorporate renewable power generation and energy storage can operate in “island mode” a self-contained electrical network.
Optimizing operations and designing a microgrid that is cost-effective can provide a business the energy independence,resilience and operational flexibility to survive over the decades of growth and economic change that a commercial or industrial facility needs to succeed.
Snapshot of the process:
- Feasibility Study
- Walk-through and Detailed Energy Audit
- Preliminary design
- Formal Project Proposal
- Detailed system design
- Acceptance and Customer committment
- Project Financing
- Permitting and Interconnection (move this up below project financing)
- Ordering of equipment, site construction, delivery and installation
- Commissioning and testing
Size matters. The early adopters have a considerable power footprint to accommodate the economy of scale to see the benefits on energy costs:
- Hospitals
- Data Centers
- Vertical Farms and indoor growing facilities
- Water Utilities
- Waste Plants
- Cold Storage
- Food Production and Processing
- High-Tech Manufacturing
- Resorts and Casinos
- Large University Campus
Expertise is Required
Energy independence in the distributed energy space is an expertise GPS has developed through our decades of experience in on-site power delivery and project management.
Microgrids optimize your energy operations with cost-effective, sustainable multi-resource power solutions that include renewable energy sources with new emerging technologies in combination with old methods that can significantly reduce emissions and provide resilience.
Microgrid and Renewable Energy
Energy InfrastructureConsider the complexity of interlinked systems using these assets:
- Generator Sets Gas/CCHP/Hydrogen
- Absorption Chiller
- H2 Storage
- Fuel Cell System
- Electrolyzer
- Renewable Energy Sources (RES)
- Heat/Cooling
- Generator Electricity
- Dynamic Rotating Uninterrupted Power Supply (DRUPS)
- Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
We work with partners from all industries from OEMs, consultants, procurement managers, engineering firms, developers, property owners, and many more in financing and operations.
Operations, maintenance, ongoing optimization and asset management are delivered as part of a microgrid project – comprehensive management services.
