Distributed Generation and Storage

Energy Storage is most valuable when deployed on the system where it can serve multiple needs. These needs range from off-setting peak demand to transmission congestion management, voltage control and minimizing demand charges.

Distributed resources reduce on peak losses and provide local voltage support, frequency control, transmission system congestion mitigation, peaking capacity, peak shaving (reducing demand charges), spinning reserves, contingency reserves and market and arbitrage opportunities.

By distributing battery and generation sources (such as micro turbines, small gas turbines, reciprocal engine based generation or fuel cells), we can place the operational benefits where they are needed most, diversify risk, reduce losses, minimize the environmental impact at any one site and slash siting delays.

Distributed resources can be sited at transmission or distribution substations or existing or retired generation sites.

We possess state of the art system modeling tools to identify the benefits to be achieved through distributed resources. Each installation is unique. Sizing the installation to meet the objectives and space available is key.    More on our modeling and simulation capability can be seen at www.opsxpert.com

 Energy Storage installations have ever increasing financial & operational benefits as installed storage capacity grows. 

Storage technology choice is a major issue. Many installations have used Li-Ion batteries but Graphene is a new and better technology option on the market today with greater energy density.

Most importantly, Graphene storage is chemical free, eliminating the risks associated with chemical reactions and thermal runaway and greatly simplifying siting concerns.

 The solid-state graphene-based technology exhibits the superfast charge and discharge of a supercapacitor, while delivering the ability to store energy for months and precisely control its release over 12+ hours and while being cycled 4 times per day without any degradation. With no heat signature, the hazards of lithium are eliminated making sustainablestored power both effective and safe. 

Fuel Cell technology has evolved to meet the rapidly expanding needs of Data Centers and Crypto mining.  Please contact us to learn all of the latest technology advances in Distributed Resources.
