Manufacturing Microgrid Designs

Manufacturing companies face a multitude of challenges which include, but are not limited to obligations to customers, unprecedented supply chain constraints, escalated tariffs and importation costs, planning infrastructure repairs and upgrades, maintaining a healthy workplace, and meeting sustainability goals all while delivering on the constant expectations to lower costs. In addition to this, somewhere in the U.S., power fails daily due to weather conditions, accidents, equipment malfunctions, or other potential issues not listed.

For large manufacturing enterprises, the cost of a single hour of downtime can easily top the $5 million mark. These types of disruptions can have a ripple effect beyond the factory walls, and can even affect the supply chain logistics and other businesses that rely on real-time delivery of products. Microgrids offer manufacturers a flexible platform to head off these issues – ensuring that power is reliable and enabling renewable energy for sustainability goals, controlling energy costs, and attracting customers and investors that want manufacturers to continuously be raising the bar on ESG performance. A microgrid can help control your energy generation, usage, and cost stability.

Manufacturing Microgrid Design For Benefits 

Power Storage Solutions is prepared and eager to help manufacturing companies create small to medium scale local energy systems that can replace or supplement current energy productions. Many industries already have con-generation capabilities of combined heat and power (CHP), or diesel generators. Now, they want to integrate solar and battery power so they can disconnect from the grid completely to create resiliency. We can provide energy storage solutions to replace aging generation without any large infrastructure cost, or high maintenance costs. 

• Proven SCiB Lithium Technology: We can provide excellent energy storage solutions for the manufacturing industry by utilizing the only lithium chemistry with a zero-flammability rating, which gives the manufacturing industry access to long term and short term energy storage options.
• Integrate Distributed Energy Sources (DER): Energy production can be provided in various forms. Manufacturing microgrids can require complex microgrid controls for integrating solar, wind, battery, traditional utility and local generation.
• Power Studies and Custom Solutions: We can provide power studies and solutions to improve energy preservation, support net-zero goals and reduce emissions. Our experts will be with you every step of the way from the initial design phase, to development, and all the way through to the implementation phase. 
•  Monitoring and Managing Power: We can monitor your power usage and manage your power production to maximize your energy savings, emissions, and redundancy. Our microgrid solutions are thoughtfully designed to put you in control of your power. 
• Nanogrids of 5KW to 30KW can be used to provide local redundancy for critical energy demand and remove non-critical demand energy consumption, reducing your overall demand.

Power Storage Solutions has provided over twenty SCiB Energy Storage Systems within the manufacturing industry. We have over 30 years of experience in designing, installing, maintaining, and working with manufacturers power needs and goals. We can design solutions that are unique to your business needs, which allow you to meet your future energy consumption goals while also meeting your companies’ green initiatives and return on investment.
