Key Benefits
• Reliability enhancements through real-time detection of unstable system behavior and isolation of the affected system ensuring your most critical infrastructure stays online until normal system operation is restored• Improve Resiliency by providing a system that can self-isolate from the affected grid and continue to support its loads independently for desired periods of time
• Energy Cost Reduction through a solution that can efficiently manage and optimize your energy resources based on real-time energy market prices, operational costs and energy resource mix
• Increase Revenue providing the capability to your system to provide ancillary services to the grid such as Frequency Control, Reserve Capacity, and Demand Response• Energy Security by effectively controlling, monitoring and optimizing your local energy assets reducing your need to rely on a centralized supply
• High percentage of Renewables integration through an energy management solution that will support the transition to new renewable energy targets and policies • Reduce Emissions by optimal dispatch and management of your energy resource mix
