Automate the most tedious part of microgrid design - getting load information from the utility.

With each passing news cycle, microgrids and distributed energy technologies are becoming a more and more attractive solution for organizations seeking resiliency and carbon emission reduction. However, knowing where the best opportunities for microgrids are and hiring engineers to analyze projects can be expensive and time consuming - without guaranteeing any results.

To speed up the design process, and get rid of one of the most tedious yet important parts of the design process, Xendee has integrated with UtilityAPI, a provider of interval load and general utility data for metered sites. This allows engineers to quickly and precisely import energy load data in the correct format directly from the utility. This helps Xendee create a more optimal design solution by using the actual historical use data from the building and helps account for the seasonal, hourly, and specific usage patterns of the facility.

Learn more in the press release below or schedule a discovery call with our team to see how utility load data imports could improve your engineers’ design workflow.

Kudos, Wärtsilä Corporation & Clearway Energy Group, for moving forward with five new solar-plus-storage projects that will play an important role in maintaining grid reliability in Hawaii & California as the states work toward their respective decarbonization goals: https://bit.ly/3QgOuhi.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that power outages cost the U.S. economy $150B annually, & states are increasingly focusing on ways to improve grid reliability through distributed generation, renewable energy projects. We at XENDEE support greater grid reliability by leveraging state of the art design methods & comprehensive microgrid modeling, including through our partnerships with the DOE, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Idaho National Laboratory, RMI, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Alaska Center for Energy and Power, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center & more.

Did you know hydrogen storage has over 100 times more energy density per kg than lithium ion storage? In this Utility Dive article, we cover the ways microgrids & DERs, particularly those that involve hydrogen, can be optimized to overcome the duck curve - all while reducing costs & delivering higher returns for stakeholders.

To model the interplay between the different available technologies (e.g., hydrogen, renewables, chemical batteries, etc.), a holistic modeling approach is needed to identify the highest quality & lowest cost technology mix. XENDEE’s decision support system, built on top of an optimization engine, considers the full spectrum of value stacking (e.g., ancillary services markets) required to make these complex systems pencil out. XENDEE combines economic decision-making with power flow & distribution system modeling, making it a unique platform to provide the needed modeling for complex microgrid & community projects. Modeling of long-term effects & how changes in technology costs, markets, performance, & tariffs will impact the system revenue streams is also important. This rapid multi-year optimization is unique to XENDEE & allows modeling of technology upgrades or changes over time. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/3zUzmAX.

Thank you, MicrogridKnowledge.com, for featuring our white paper on how to reduce project costs & risks by designing Microgrid-as-a-Service (MaaS) Agreements with comprehensive mathematical optimization techniques.

Leveraging state of the art design methods when formulating MaaS agreements enables you to quickly & reliably adapt to future needs, such as increased energy demands, in order to offset rising energy costs. It also allows you to take into account multiple energy sources & power distribution systems, the impact of aging infrastructure, as well as unique project financing structures - all while you’re designing the system, not afterwards.

How can towns cost effectively leverage community microgrids to meet their renewable energy targets while building greater long-term resiliency in the face of increasingly severe weather? Through the Clean Energy and Resiliency (CLEAR) Program, which is supported by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, we partnered with RAND Corporation, Converge Strategies, LLC, & Ridgeline Energy Analytics to answer this question for the town of West Tisbury in Massachusetts. West Tisbury’s goals are to reach 100% renewable energy by 2040 & to use solar energy & batteries to provide back-up power to town buildings.

The project utilized Xendee’s energy resilience analysis platform to outline how the town can strengthen its energy infrastructure against extreme weather & grid interruptions to ensure that its lifeline facilities & emergency services are positioned to serve its community when they are most in need. In addition to providing greater resiliency, the energy systems for the town library, a fire station & the Public Service Building would result in net lifetime savings, compared to the current situation, of: 20%, 67% & 42%, respectively.

Congrats, San Diego Gas & Electric on moving forward with four microgrid projects, & Gridscape Solutions & City of San Diego, on moving forward with eight microgrid projects in San Diego! Shell New Energies US will own & operate the eight microgrids on behalf of the city for 25 years. In total, the eight microgrids will provide 930 kW of solar, 2,175 MWh of battery storage & multiple electric vehicle charging stations. The four SDG&E microgrid projects will dispatch clean energy to the grid when needed and keep critical facilities like schools and fire stations powered during emergencies. https://t.co/BfOON6RxmI

How can airports mitigate risk & reduce the significant costs associated with power outages? We’ve partnered with RMI & Converge Strategies to produce a microgrid implementation toolkit for airport decision-makers & stakeholders, which addresses site-specific criteria for airports of all types & sizes. Funded by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the toolkit enables airports to implement microgrids to obtain greater control over the energy they need & use; reallocate funds toward critical functions; & serve as key community assets during natural disasters. Learn more about the toolkit: https://bit.ly/3I4R9I5.
