Microgrid Application Study

Integration and Operation of a Microgrid

Global Power Supply provides a specialized Microgrid Application Study, which involves a comprehensive analysis of your existing power system to identify optimal strategies for integrating a microgrid. Our expert engineers create a model of your power system and simulate different scenarios involving the integration and operation of a microgrid. The simulations allow our engineers to understand the potential benefits, costs, and challenges of applying a microgrid in your specific context. Our goal is to provide you with insights and ultimately recommend the tools necessary to improve your power system’s resilience and efficiency.

Modeling and Power Flow Design

Our engineers study system modeling and simulation data created around critical data specific to your existing power systems. Based on the results of our simulations, our team of expert engineers will provide specific, actionable recommendations for integrating a microgrid into your power system, type of microgrid, components that should be included in the microgrid, strategies for managing energy within the microgrid, guidelines on how to integrate the microgrid with any existing power systems and infrastructure, and preferred location and orientation for the system.

In order to maintain regulatory compliance, we consider local regulations and environmental standards related to the installation and operation of microgrids when providing advice.

We offer assembly, installation, maintenance services, training and support – making sure that your microgrid is properly installed, and effectively managed moving forward.

“In recent years, our northern California facility has been increasingly affected by Public Safety Power Shutoff’s (PSPS), which sometimes results in power outages lasting several days. We were able to maintain operations with rental generators in the past, but because our business is so reliant on power, we were looking for a long-term solution that would provide greater energy security and resiliency. A microgrid solution turned out to be the perfect solution. It allows us to charge energy storage systems that will automatically kick in and provide supplemental power at peak periods, which saves us money on utility bills, and also will power our entire facility off-grid for up to a week.”
