HomeMy WebLinkAboutGo Electric BrochureGo Electric resilient power solutions for microgrids Go Electric’s microgrid solution uniquely combines robust and resilient uninterruptible power with automated energy efficiency functions as well as demand response capability in a turnkey system. What makes Go Electric different: Seamless operation under any grid fault condition: Go Electric’s ability to seamlessly transfer from the power grid to the microgrid without an interruption in milliseconds is unique. Furthermore, the Go Electric system can run concurrently with a generator, solar PV array, wind turbines or any other source of electricity. Go Electric makes mobile systems for the military as small as 10 kW and can make large stationary systems for commercial applications up to 3 MW. Go Electric’s patented ride through capability produces uninterruptible power through any grid fault condition. Figure 1: Result of NREL test showing the Go Electric system in «Grid Catch» mode within 80 (ms) after a grid fault. Why is this important? Because it prevents backfeeding onto the grid. Grid Voltage Grid Current CriticalLoad The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) tested one of Go Electric’s microgrid systems and found that it created stable grid voltage in island mode within 80 milliseconds (ms) after a grid fault. Grid Catch – ability to ride through any three phase grid faults Compact and streamlined footprint for ease of installation - days vs weeks kVAR control allowing BESS to run against a generator Streamlined cyber security approach Ability to grid form and charge simultaneously Open protocol is able to integrate with any DER and BESS UNIQUE TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES EASY DEPLOYMENT With Go Electric’s «microgrid in a box» solution, the customer has the energy resiliency to operate business “as-is” during power outages, brown outs, and off-grid scenarios. Product and service offer Go Electric’s integrated solutions – LYNC Secure®, LYNC DR®, Hive, and BμGTM are highly flexible, modular, and scalable, which allow customers to customize their microgrid to best meet their needs from a tested and validated platform. LYNC Secure® / LYNC DR® is Go Electric’s patented power conversion system (PCS) that provides uninterruptible power to critical loads. Embedded in the system is the AutoLYNC® Microgrid Controller that, combined with local microprocessors to control DER assets in real-time, maintains power stability and prevents any load or generation runway. AutoLYNC® optimizes the DER’s to operate in specific use-case scenarios that deliver maximum economic value stacking to the customer– such as generator optimization, power factor correction, and economic dispatch. LYNC ROPS® is a ruggedized, mobile, hybrid power system that is built for forward operating bases and other frontline deployments. The system delivers clean and reliable power no matter the input and delivers tremendous fuel savings that simplify logistics and reduces cost. HIVETM is the microgrid enabled, distributed energy resources intelligent switchgear that is designed for coordination of sources and loads breakers. This packaged solution lowers design time, cost and leads to faster and higher value during on-site installation. Engineering Services / Cyber Security as a microgrid technology provider, Go Electric works with different vendors and partners to execute a fully functional microgrid. Our highly trained and qualified engineering team can support start-up and commissioning of the microgrid with the capability of meeting a customer’s cyber security requirements. Wind inverter controller Wind Solar Battery Genset Utility PV inverter controller LYNC secure® Generator controller Switchgear controller What LYNC DR® systems can do What CUSTOMERS can achieve with LYNC Go Electric’s solution controls and optimizes operation of multiple DER’s and the battery. It enables a variety of grid and asset services in islanded and grid-connection mode. The system is up and running with cyber security in days (not months), leading to faster deployment resulting in lower cost. Blinkless transition from grid-connection to islanding in less than 4ms with no interruption in inverter output Automated energy management functions such as peak shaving and power factor correction Automated energy efficiency functions From any distributed energy resource, including renewables Earn revenue with demand response Keeps renewables safely functioning when islanded / during grid outages Maximized use of renewable generation Ensures critical loads stay operating when the grid goes down Plug-and-Play: pre-programmed and pre- assembled with fused disconnects, breakers and transformer Enables demand response services Reduce fuel consumption LYNC Secure® LYNC DR® AutoLYNC® Microgrid controller Reduce electricity Bills Rely on uninterruptible power at all times Monetize Energy Assets Microgrid orchestration layer Real time layer Local microgrid orchestration layer layers Micro processor layer Distributed energy resources (DER’s) layer Cloud Based Services AutoLYNC® Microgrid Controller SCADA or BMS 2424 77 Enhanced system reliability and resilience during grid fault condition and islan- ding during grid outages. 24/7 operation and full reliance on renewable resources with reduced cost and emissions KVar control for power quality improvements and resilience Enhanced operation and islanding during grid interruption and reduced costs through demand response participation.
