This guide offers islands and islanded grids frequency management solutions as they journey toward a grid powered 100% by renewables.

This white paper explores how island utilities can address electric grid challenges while reaching their decarbonization goals.

Discover the challenges and solutions of harnessing 100% renewable power for green hydrogen electrolyzers in this webinar presented by PXiSE’s Andy Miller.

This case study summarizes research for the DOD where a battery energy storage system was tested to see if it could replace a traditional UPS

What is synthetic inertia? Where does it come from and can it be as reliable as traditional inertia? This webinar offers answers.

This white paper explores the concept of synthetic inertia, the technologies behind it and how it could be the optimal solution to stabilize the electric grid in a future powered by DERs.

Utility WEL Networks piloted a DERMS solution in the community of Raglan, New Zealand to combat grid congestion and stability issues. 

This white paper walks through the steps any commercial or industrial facility should take to determine a battery size that offers the best return on investment.

This white paper explores how a DER management and communication platform serves as a starting point to solve the grid challenges of today and positions utilities to scale up to DERMS for future challenges.

By taking advantage of modern data communications and advanced control technologies, utilities can tie PMUs and data networks together to help coordinate distributed energy resources.

Joe and Elliot talk you through how to overcome Controller Conschmoller Disorder during this hour-long webinar recording. 

Our checkup workbook offers a pragmatic approach for utilities deciding between a DERMS or Microgrid Controller. Sign up for 10 emails over 10 days that walk you through questions that take 15-30 minutes each day.

An overview of networking protocols in use for DER integration and the pros and cons of each, along with the features necessary for an effective, futureproof protocol.

By taking advantage of modern data communications and advanced control technologies, utilities can tie PMUs and data networks together to help coordinate distributed energy resources.

This 205-megawatt (MW) facility became one of the first co-located solar and storage projects operating in the California market.

Deploying a DERMS enabled this utility to optimize both utility-and customer-owned solar PV and batteries on its community microgrid that is traditionally powered by fossil-fuel generators.

Operating through a single POI, this site needs to comply with CAISO setpoints and constraints and when not constrained by CAISO or its off-takers, delivers the maximum available amount of real power.

This white paper debunks six myths about renewable energy power plant controls and is a must-read for anyone researching renewable energy power plant monitoring and control platforms.

This white paper explains how and when a microgrid controller can help utilities manage emerging grid challenges as they map their way toward a fully renewable, multidirectional, resilient grid. Second in a three-part series.

This white paper outlines how and when a DERMS can help utilities navigate challenges and create a road map to a fully renewable, multidirectional, resilient grid. Third in a three-part series.

Meeting sustainability and resiliency needs motivated this transit authority to install a microgrid controller to manage solar + storage related to fleet electrification upgrades.

When a 25 MW solar farm came online, it reduced reliance on fossil fuels but created grid instability issues due to weather variations. A microgrid controller solved the instability and provided room to add more distributed energy resources.

This white paper describes six challenges utilities face in moving toward a grid with high renewable energy penetration. First in a three-part series.

Microgrids are more flexible and scalable than ever before. As utilities chart a new course to address the transformation of the grid, microgrids provide a tool to achieve fundamental goals, raising the possibility of emerging as a new customer service.

The intermittency of wind and solar on this island grid caused rapid power fluctuations that traditional controls were too slow to handle. With PXiSE’s Power Plant Control, meeting ramp rate requirements at the utility point of interconnection became a breeze.

For the Department of Defense, having back-up power during outages is critical. This project found the most efficient and cost-effective way for microgrids to supply back-up power using battery storage and a microgrid controller.

PXiSE’s Power Plant Controller automates storage of power generated from solar panels and wind turbines during the day and the discharge of power from batteries at night, optimizing electricity release when energy prices are highest.

This behind-the-meter, nested microgrid (actually two microgrids) provides resiliency through seamless islanding during grid failures.

Isolated to one floor of an office high-rise, this microgrid integrates a battery, solar PV and Controller to reduce power consumption during peak hours, decrease strain on the urban electric grid, and mitigate demand charges.

PXiSE’s Microgrid Controller enables a managed clean energy network that supports the campus objectives for resilience, cost savings, and generating over 40% of their electric supply from onsite solar PV.
