Counter-current meter is an intelligent instrument designed to detect and prevent the reverse flow of current or energy in a power system. This kind of meter plays an important role in new energy generation system, especially in photovoltaic grid-connected system, micro-inverse system, energy storage system and AC coupling system. Definition and function Anti-counter-current watt-hour meter ...
With support from the George Gund Foundation they have installed one of our first containerized dual PP30 Microgrid systems. Development of this system has also been supported by Cal Fire grants with the goal of building pilot infrastructure to help incentivize and monetize Cal Fire’s forest and wildfire mitigation.The ongoing drought and ...
Data collection is a crucial foundation for any Energy Management System (EMS) platform. It's the groundwork that helps organisations make smart decisions, save money, and ultimately improve their sustainability. ...
The City of Middletown’s Department of Public Works, Connecticut chose Clarke Energy to design and engineer a hybrid energy, turnkey microgrid solution to support a large recreation facility. The facility is located on the previous site of the Woodrow Wilson Middle School and is being developed to support the local community including a new recreation office, gyms, pools creating the first ...
As a general rule, these residential and commercial systems range from 5 to 500 kilowatts of power. What's the main benefit of these small-scale energy systems? ...

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report pointed out that global warming in the last 50 years is occurring at a rate unprecedented since the past 2000 years, and the instability of the climate system has increased, which UN Secretary-General Guterres called "a red alert for all mankind". ...
Critical facilities such as hospitals, police and fire stations, and even telecom sites and data centers, play vital roles in disaster response and recovery. This sector provides protection, communication, and emergency services essential to public safety and welfare. To meet the changing needs of society, this industry is evolving and so is its electrical infrastructure. I sat down with ...
Digitization is viewed as a crucial pathway to a sustainable future, but it comes with its challenges. The burgeoning volume of data accumulated in the industrial sector, allied with the rapid growth of streaming content for consumers, is driving high demand for data center capacity. Recent forecasts suggest that by 2024 data centers will exceed 32 GW of electrical power, on par with that of a ...
In the previous two posts in this series, we’ve looked at the hidden risks that make managing critical power facilities so challenging. We’ve also seen how digitalizing electrical power distribution networks trends mean you no longer have to ‘work blind.’ Connected smart devices sharing data with cloud or facility-based software and mobile apps help shine a bright light on ...
System function introduction: Collection, statistics and comparative analysis of all data on DC side and AC side Real-time collection, comparative analysis of power generation side data and load data of each user, calculation of line loss; timely detection of electricity theft The EMS system automatically allocates energy, independently turns on the switch of ...
Type: Rooftop Microgrid Systems Location: India Client: Keltron Rooftop Solar Microgrid with Battery Backup Most Indian cities are densely populated and rooftop areas are very constrained. This is a rooftop with battery backup to allow for occasions when the grid fails. This system has a 50kW hybrid bidirectional inverter, 25 ...
There’s an old environmentalist’s mantra about thinking globally but acting locally. Several homebuilders, including Woodbridge, Ont.-based Country Homes are putting that practice into place by committing to build sustainable housing using products like Schneider Electric’s Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor to help achieve their goals. A smart home is a sustainable ...
Smart power generation, power consumption, energy storage devices are connected to the entire IoT network, self-management and control are achieved with the help of information flow, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of energy production and consumption. The structure of a smart microgrid is different due to different load requirements, but its basic units include solar ...
According to the analyst firm MarketsandMarkets, the global microgrid market is projected to grow from US$24.6 billion in 2021 to US$42.3 billion by 2026. However, as we have learned from the recent wave of natural disasters, solar panels, operating on their own, provide no level of business resilience. If the solar power system is grid-tied, and no local energy ...

Global water scarcity threatens millions, but one startup hopes to change that by extracting high volumes of water directly from air. We’re joined by Shannon Stuckenberg, the CEO & Co-founder of Genesis Systems, and we’re discussing her organization’s crusade against global water scarcity and how a new mindset towards water is driving innovative new ...
That means taking proactive steps to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, cut CO2 and other GHG emissions, and incentivize the adoption of distributed clean energy generation and storage systems. Sometimes called “microgrids”, customer-sited solar + storage located at homes, businesses, hospitals, schools even entire communities, can provide ...
The solution was to install a microgrid consisting of a microgrid controller and two Mars5100 gas turbine generator sets. The turbines and microgrid powered plant operations for over a year until a new utility line reached the site. Today the gas plant enjoys utility power plus backup turbine power automatically managed by the ...
There’s an alternative to the utility-operated grids whose fragility has led to the outages. But microgrids, self-contained energy systems that can operate alongside a main grid or independently during a blackout, haven’t taken off, even though they can help businesses and communities avoid costly power interruptions like those in California. ...
