Grid Paralleling
VoltaGrid’s custom switchgear, modular energy resources, and patent-pending energy control schema improves power quality, integrates on-site generation resources, reduce peak demand charges, and provides standby (emergency) power generation. With the ability to feed in up to 10 MWe of grid-connected power, we provide the best of the grid and an islandable microgrid — all in one.
Improving power quality
Certain facilities, such as manufacturers using CNC machines, are highly susceptible to power quality issues: even a flicker — a transient barely detectable to the human eye — that can cost thousands of dollars of lost work-in-progress, and potentially crash machines. While other facilities may not be as vulnerable, their mere location at the end of the distribution line means they may face more frequent and more serious power quality issues, such as under-voltage sags and frequency deviations.
Emergency power
VoltaGrid’s dynamic-response natural gas generators go from stopped to rated load in just 32.5 seconds.
Peak shaving
VoltaGrid’s flexible power-purchase agreement provides an affordable $/MWh rate that’s lower than many electric utilities’ peak rates. With our switchgear’s ability to receive up to 10 MWe of grid-connected power, VoltaGrid provides the reliability and affordability of the grid with the opportunity to reduce peak demand and consumption charges.
Additionally, if your local utility has a demand dispatch program, VoltaGrid can enable you to take advantage of the dispatch credits by quickly and reliably switching over to island mode when you receive the notice to reduce your energy use.
