Are You Ready to Start a Microgrid Project?
A microgrid design would trip up and confuse even the most advanced engineers and power design specialists. Power Storage Solutions is here to provide leadership and step-by-step guidance to help you assess, design, plan, procure, construct, commission and operate your system. We take a full view of your current and future demands to deliver a clean and resilient energy solution at the best possible value.
The Power Storage Solutions Microgrid Design Process
Power Storage Solutions methodical design process ensures every step of the way is planned, well managed and executed to deliver the results you expect. Here is our process:
Step 1: Feasibility Assessment
Each microgrid is designed differently, with different needs in mind. This creates differentiated layouts, maintenance, sustainability measures, and costs associated with your microgrid. Prior to installation, an extensive planning process takes place. First, a feasibility assessment is conducted by an industry expert who will reveal and explain any potential benefits or obstacles related to your system.
Step 2: 30% System Design
Depending on your unique needs and your planning team, design layouts may be conducted during the feasibility assessment. System design includes what size and type of equipment is required, where each part will be located, and how each part will connect with one another in order for the system to function.
Step 3: Cost Estimation & Financial Planning
Financial planning is the most important step. Your planning team will work closely with you to provide the best cost analysis and estimate within your budget. This estimate has a drastic impact on feasibility, budgeting, and equipment. This stage also allows business owners to allocate funds for the project. Business owners may cover the costs with capital or internal financing is typically a viable option. This allows organizations to reap the benefits of the microgrid system, but a third party fronts the cost.
Step 4: System Engineering Design & Utility Interconnection
Creating and installing microgrids requires advanced levels of electrical expertise, equipment, and advanced knowledge of distribution channels. An industry expert will work closely with you to turn ideas into blueprints.
Step 5: Procurement & Construction
Step 6: System Commissioning
The system commissioning phase involves a great deal of testing to ensure your system is meeting its desired function and achieving optimum performance. Factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, and system commissioning are all expected to be conducted during this phase. In addition, you will also receive comprehensive training on different aspects of your microgrid such as its basic functions, operations, and features. Again, it is recommended that you consider how daily operations will be affecting during this process.
