The City of Middletown’s Department of Public Works, Connecticut chose Clarke Energy to design and engineer a hybrid energy, turnkey microgrid solution to support a large recreation facility. The facility is located on the previous site of the Woodrow Wilson Middle School and is being developed to support the local community including a new recreation office, gyms, pools creating the first ...
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report pointed out that global warming in the last 50 years is occurring at a rate unprecedented since the past 2000 years, and the instability of the climate system has increased, which UN Secretary-General Guterres called "a red alert for all mankind". ...
Critical facilities such as hospitals, police and fire stations, and even telecom sites and data centers, play vital roles in disaster response and recovery. This sector provides protection, communication, and emergency services essential to public safety and welfare. To meet the changing needs of society, this industry is evolving and so is its electrical infrastructure. I sat down with ...
In the previous two posts in this series, we’ve looked at the hidden risks that make managing critical power facilities so challenging. We’ve also seen how digitalizing electrical power distribution networks trends mean you no longer have to ‘work blind.’ Connected smart devices sharing data with cloud or facility-based software and mobile apps help shine a bright light on ...
System function introduction: Collection, statistics and comparative analysis of all data on DC side and AC side Real-time collection, comparative analysis of power generation side data and load data of each user, calculation of line loss; timely detection of electricity theft The EMS system automatically allocates energy, independently turns on the switch of ...
Type: Rooftop Microgrid Systems Location: India Client: Keltron Rooftop Solar Microgrid with Battery Backup Most Indian cities are densely populated and rooftop areas are very constrained. This is a rooftop with battery backup to allow for occasions when the grid fails. This system has a 50kW hybrid bidirectional inverter, 25 ...
There’s an old environmentalist’s mantra about thinking globally but acting locally. Several homebuilders, including Woodbridge, Ont.-based Country Homes are putting that practice into place by committing to build sustainable housing using products like Schneider Electric’s Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor to help achieve their goals. A smart home is a sustainable ...
Smart power generation, power consumption, energy storage devices are connected to the entire IoT network, self-management and control are achieved with the help of information flow, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of energy production and consumption. The structure of a smart microgrid is different due to different load requirements, but its basic units include solar ...
According to the analyst firm MarketsandMarkets, the global microgrid market is projected to grow from US$24.6 billion in 2021 to US$42.3 billion by 2026. However, as we have learned from the recent wave of natural disasters, solar panels, operating on their own, provide no level of business resilience. If the solar power system is grid-tied, and no local energy ...

As a global reference in energy conversion systems, FRIEM accelerates on the energy field by acquiring Windkinetic, an Italian company dedicated to provide innovative solutions for offgrid and microgrid systems, integrating different renewable energy sources and battery storage. ...
Luckily, solar engineers have devised one solution to the grid dependence of a traditional solar system – solar microgrids. A Minnesota solar microgrid offers not only a clean energy source but also energy independence and reliability. ...
At their North American headquarters in Boston, the company wanted to create a visible example of their microgrid technology in action, while offsetting energy costs and creating a backup power source during outages. REC Solar built and will operate the canopy and rooftop solar arrays that power the microgrid, which was built by Schneider Electric. Duke Energy ...
REC Solar’s unique capabilities and experience with microgrids, in addition to their robust experience with PV for K-12 schools, made them an ideal provider. The implemented solution includes a variety of mounting methods including carports, playground shade structures, fixed tilt ground mount on a hill slope, and roof mount racking. The microgrid ...
” Battery Boosters Expanding power production and saving money on installation aren’t the only benefits that can come from combining wind and solar. When applied to microgrid systems — local energy grids that can disconnect from the traditional grid and operate autonomously — combined solar and wind can help cut battery costs as well, ...

They have also installed an LPG dual-fuel system to allow increased grid uptime and reliability. Haitian corncobs purchased from local farmers fuel a Power Pallet located in the small village of Tuffet in Haiti. Limyè Pa w, a labor of love created by Ben Shell, Dan Bierenbaum and Duquesne Fednard, is using its Power Pallet to supply power to the community with an ...
The project is being developed by Solutions Using Renewable Energy (SURE) who are building a microgrid system tying a 2.5 kW solar array and a 5 kW wind turbine to our 20 kW Power Pallet. ...
The renewable sources of energy are being connected to the local distribution system/local grid leading to embedded generation. As these sources are intermittent in nature, they impose technical challenges in the power system operation which include power quality related problems of local grid. The performance of the system has to be evaluated while connecting these sources to the local ...
