Welcome To Our Microgrid
1 NexGear switchgear
NexGear Switchgear connects the AC output of the microgrid to the rest of the system.
2 Powerblock
Fully integrated power generation system which includes two 625kW EPA Tier 4 Final diesel engines, controllers and monitoring software in our 4-bank PowerBlock enclosure.
3 Fuel Cells
Bloom Energy Fuel Cell distributed power generation system which provides always-on, primary power. System includes 50kW, 480VAC power source fueled by natural gas.
4 Battery Energy Storage System
The Battery Energy Storage System is 852.32kWh, equaling 500kW, with 704-913 VDC and 0.5 C-battery rating.
5 Power Equipment Center (PEC)
The PEC encloses the Battery Energy Storage System and the DC Switchgears. The switchgear components interconnect energy storage, fuel cells and the photovoltaic (PV) system into a single output.
6 Inverters
The 250 kW Fuel Cell Inverters convert power from AC to DC. The Microgrid Output Inverters convert 1,000 kW from DC to AC, and vice versa, and regulate the power flow from and into the microgrid.
7 Photovoltaic Inverter
The 250 kW PV Inverter regulates the power flow from the rooftop solar system to the microgrid.
8 Fuel Cell Load Bank
This load bank system serves the Fuel Cells in using its energy output to test, support or protect the power source in the event of an outage.
9 Fuel Cell Load Bank Emergency Switch
10 Microgrid Transformer
The Microgrid Transformer equals 1000kVA.
11 Load Bank Systems
The Load Bank Systems serve the power source, using its energy output to test, support or protect the power source in the event of an outage.
12 Utility Transformer
The connection point to the utility power source.
13 Solar
PowerSecure's 200kW PV system, with 47 strings of 12 PV modules, serves as a renewable fuel source for the microgrid.
PowerSecure's microgrid provides a customized, adaptable and dependable power solution that reduces consumers' carbon footprint and energy expenses while making their facility more resilient.
Explore PowerSecure's onsite microgrid features below. As a localized group of electricity generation sources, storage options and loads, our microgrid is connected to the centralized group and can run synchronously with it, but can be islanded and operated autonomously as needed. This provides backup in cases of emergency while also cutting costs and allowing for energy independence.
