CESI and EnerNex support microgrids distribution in the USA

USA - These solutions help to ensure power delivery to critical facilities.

CESI has announced that it is the birth of Advanced Energy Economy, a term that encapsulates the entire ecosystem of merchandise, services and technologies that support the transmission, distribution, storage and consumption of energy in the American market, worth roughly 200 billion dollars.

In this respect, according to CESI, EnerNex, a CESI Company, has developed use cases, requirements, and RFPs for multiple microgrids with various primary and backup generation options. These solutions help to ensure power delivery to critical facilities, including fire stations, police stations, city halls, emergency shelters and nursing homes.

According to CESI, EnerNex determined the best options and developed business cases, performed cost-benefit analyses for generation options including combined heat and power (CHP), natural gas and propane fuels. It also calculated the total electric load and wrote the generator specifications for several community microgrids.  Additional design considerations included the need to support cold load pickup, to operate in hurricanes, floods and other severe weather situations and the need to integrate into existing communications and electric distribution systems.
