Core features

  • The Power Xpert Energy Optimizer controller, maintains system stability and optimizes distributed energy resources for energy savings (ROI),  peak shaving, intelligent islanding and more
  • Feasibility studies offer a careful analysis of risks and needs specific to each situation
  • Virtual microgrid testing in a closed loop simulation test ensures system functionality and control integrity before it arrives at your site
  • Multiple distributed generation sources — including generators, solar, wind and energy storage — can be integrated on a common grid structure

Achieve energy resiliency and uptime

The reliability of the U.S. power grid has been significantly compromised by factors such as aging equipment, lack of maintenance, insufficient infrastructure and the proliferation of energy-hungry devices. With the ability to isolate from the primary grid, microgrids have emerged as an ideal solution to assure energy resiliency, independence from utilities, islanding, load control and optimized energy usage.
