Micro Grid and Islanded Solutions. Identifying the application, Designing the solution.
Every Water, Energy and Electricity application is unique. Whether it is literally an island, a remote location with no grid interconnect or an application seeking to design an unregulated and or grid optional solution, our team has someone who has designed systems that create the best solution available. This systems can start in the 5 to 50 KW size, be expanded and altered to become village, base or community size, and can also be developed as major base load complexes.
Our commitment is to get value out of every BTU or KWh in terms of electricity, heat, water, and other products that can be made using intermittent electricity sources.
The IGLB ™ subordinate micro grid control system has evolved from a system designed to serve independent remote locations with a combination of generation sources, including the firm primary gas or liquid fuel generator, which provides the reliability, and the renewable sources which reduce or displace the fossil fuel use.
Today we have realized that by using this methodology to achieve optimized and balanced electricity output to an "off grid" cellular tower, radio transmitter, data center, village, industry or SINGLE POINT grid tie, we are able to guaranty high quality firm electricity to the user(s) or grid, while capturing 100% of the benefit of and buffering the "green" but uncontrollable assets behind our electricity conditioning equipment interface.
This enables us to create our own optimized system that can provide industry and job creating energy behind the fence, and also have a reliable firm power product for sale to the customer, or via the grid inter-tie.
Another flexibility created by our system is the ability to produce an electricity product with Heat Rate flexibility. We are able to configure the generation resources and fuel consumption to assure maximum capacity utilization.This ability to eliminate risk of curtailment of no-fuel resources, while offering heat rates that assure dispatch as a firm asset allow us to waste neither fuel or capital value in any way. The end result is low cost clean energy that has the lowest 20 year levelized cost of any new generation in the mix.
Although we call this system a micro grid, it can be scaled up or down to fully utilize the lowest cost energy resource, provide both electric and thermal energy behind the inter-tie and export electricity at rate equal to or comparable to any firm generation asset on the grid. The IGLB™ system can be scaled up to manage and convert a collocated assemblage of matched generation resources and loads into a single source or electricity that provides all of same benefits of large central generating stations with a small fraction of the carbon.
In every case, we make sure that there is virtually no Btu or electron that is wasted. IGLB™ is about creating maximum system efficiency. This is how we achieve the lowest cost electricity with optimum resource utilization.
