What is a Microgrid?
A microgrid is a layer of integrated on-site electricity infrastructure that works in tandem with existing utility service to deliver enhanced performance. By using advanced microgrid controls to optimize operations, microgrids provide everyday cost savings and emissions benefits as well as resilience during grid outages.
Solar
Typically the cheapest source of kilowatt-hours, solar arrays lower energy costs and improve sustainability by generating zero-emission power from the sun.
Pairing solar with optimized battery storage is key to maximizing its value, particularly where regulations have reduced the value of solar-only systems.
Battery
With or without solar, battery storage lowers energy costs by reducing grid use during the hours of the day, month, and year when utility prices are highest.
Batteries can also provide near- instantaneous transitions to backup power, eliminating disruptions to operations when the grid goes down.
Controls
Microgrid controls optimize dispatch of each resource to maximize value, provide fast, automatic transitions to backup power, and enable speed-to-power for facilities without grid access.
Scale's industry-leading expertise allows us to configure these controls in-house, customizing them to the specific needs of each customer facility.
Generator
Fuel-based generators provide a source of unlimited-duration backup power for extended outages. Generators also provide prime power to off-grid systems.
Scale can integrate existing backup generators or new, low-emission natural gas gensets we design and commission in-house for maximum reliability.
Financing Turns a Capital Expense into Operational Savings.
Scale finances projects via Microgrid Service Agreements (MSAs), eliminating upfront costs and providing immediate savings. Similar to Energy Service Agreements (ESAs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), we charge a flat fee for energy services and system maintenance. Our microgrids offer broader benefits than standard solar or energy efficiency projects due to integrated DERs, advanced controls, and expert optimization.
Operations & Maintenance
Under our MSA financing model, Scale is responsible for the operations and maintenance of your system over the entire project lifetime. Our team provides services including:
Customer Support
OSHA-10 Certified Technicians
Bring Your Own Power
Scale’s "Bring Your Own Power" (BYOP) offerings provide a solution to multi-year utility capacity delays, with microgrids that provide ultra-reliable power for sites that currently lack a grid connection or need more power at their existing grid-tied facility. As detailed in this white paper, we have a proven track record of delivering generator-based prime power solutions as well as advanced, multi-resource microgrids that also incorporate solar and storage.
No matter your industry, you depend on reliable, affordable power.
Microgrids can provide cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable power to a wide range of industries and organizations - including, but not limited, to the following examples.
