Advantages
Power that is Efficient and Responsive
At VoltaGrid, we provide clean, reliable, intelligent, and affordable turnkey power and fuel solutions for wherever you need them. We’re committed to ensuring those attributes aren’t just hyperbole: we’re constantly seeking to innovate in ways that lower our emissions, improve our reliability, and increase our levels of service while remaining a flexible and affordable option for remote- and grid-parallel power.
Lower emissions
No more idling! Our patent-pending energy-storage system gives VoltaGrid microgrids a distinct advantage: we can operate our generators at their peak efficiency — and lowest emissions — load point.
On top of that, we’ve designed two technologies to further reduce our equipment’s emissions:
- Our proprietary gas conditioning system lowers the carbon intensity of the fuel — be it CHG, LNG, field gas, residue gas, or renewable natural gas (RNG) — to the generator’s optimal heating value and enables us to inject hydrogen gas.
- Our proprietary SCR reduces criterion pollutant emissions by an additional 85% to 97% versus the manufacturer’s specifications, making it on par with grid-supplied power in most of the United States
With CO2-equivalent emissions designed to average near 1,000 lbs/MWh and NOx emissions as low as 0.155 lb/MWh, that’s 28% less CO2e than dual-fuel generators and 40% lower CO2e than a large (25+ MW) combustion turbine (based on a 20-MW load running 24 hours).
On top of that, VoltaGrid offers economical decarbonization today with VoltaGrid NetZero credits — a cost-effective way to offset the CO2e emissions our units produce.
Higher reliability
VoltaGrid uses proven technologies with system redundancies and AI-driven monitoring to ensure highly reliable service with outstanding power quality — even during aggressive load changes.
The heart of VoltaGrid’s 2.5-MWe genset is the fast-responding CAT 3520 natural gas generator — a proven genset trusted by the likes of AT&T and Facebook for their critical data centers because of its black-start capability, its operational reliability, and its ability to go from stopped to rated load in just 32.5 seconds.
Additionally, VoltaGrid’s robust, redundant microgrid design ensures no single point of failure:
- We provide redundant supply feeds to the customer
- Our smart, AI-driven energy control schema coordinates our energy resources to ensure reliable power quality
And our on-board, edge-computing energy control schema both optimizes our microgrid’s operations and brings real-time insights into your operations to a previously unattainable level of detail.
Turnkey services
With VoltaGrid’s turnkey power and fuel solutions, we handle it all:
- Designing a microgrid to fit your specifications
- Coordinating logistics for equipment & fuel deliveries
- Monitoring operations
- Maintaining equipment
Even our flexible Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are designed to ease your mind by bundling all of your equipment, fuel, logistics, and maintenance needs into an affordable $/MWh rate — whether you need our power solutions for one month or ten years.
Moreover, our proprietary Access Innovation Portal offers you insight into every aspect of our operations and your power consumption — equipment condition, operating status, emissions, load profile, and more
Reduced power costs
Instead of capital leases and fuel delivery contracts, VoltaGrid’s Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) combine your equipment and fuel needs into a single, affordable $/MWh rate.
With our flexible contract lengths and our microgrid technology’s ability to operate independently from or in parallel with the utility grid, you can cut the cord, reduce peak demand charges, or simply rely on us to provide back-up power.
In addition, our AI-optimized energy control schema and near-real-time monitoring and reporting through our Access Innovation Portal enable you to take control of your energy charges:
- View how equipment, loads, site conditions, and more affect your energy consumption and site emissions
- Project expenses through the end of the billing cycle
- Trigger new statements with our on-demand invoicing capabilities
- Approve your invoices for payment
