A newly retrofitted multi-use facility being constructed in a major northeast city took this challenge head on.
These trends are expected to accelerate in the years ahead making planning the electrical infrastructure of new commercial buildings more important than ever. All while providing energy savings while grid connected and sustainable back-up power when the utility grid is out.Ĭhallenge: The electrification of buildings and transportation are changing when, where and how we use power. It is efficient and highly resilient, requiring no fossil fuels to deliver and operate, thereby reducing costs. The completed microgrid is a quiet and sustainable system avoiding the emissions and noise associated with generators. Results: The completed microgrid provides a host of benefits to both the city and the adjacent community. The Power Xpert microgrid controller intelligently manages the solar PV, BESS, water tower pumps and point of interconnection with the utility. Solution: Funded through a government grant Eaton’s services team engineered, procured and constructed a microgrid consisting of 104 kW of solar, 440 kW of battery energy storage (BESS) and Pow-R-Line Xpert microgrid switchboard.
A growing midwestern city took notice and contracted Eaton to build a microgrid to provide energy efficiency and resiliency to two existing water towers. As such many states, cities and municipalities are looking for alternative solutions with better return on investment and reduced emissions. Vehicle controls, automation & power managementĬhallenge: Traditional backup diesel or natural gas generators keep the water flowing during utility grid outage events. These backup systems are effective but provide no benefit when grid-connected, require increasingly costly fuel to operate and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.Server racks, enclosures and airflow management.Safety, security & emergency communications.
