Microgrid Applications for Industrial Facilities

With the right data, industrial facilities can unlock new levels of energy efficiency and cost savings by seamlessly integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging stations into their operations. Edge Zero’s real-time monitoring solutions empower facilities and utilities to optimize energy flows, enhance system performance, and proactively manage their microgrids—whether operating in isolated mode or interconnected with the main grid. 

Power Quality Monitoring for Microgrid Stability

Ensure Stable Operations Across Distributed Assets 

Managing power quality in a microgrid environment is critical, especially as the number of distributed energy resources (DERs) grows.  

Continuous Power Quality Monitoring

Track voltage, current and power factor in real time, allowing for immediate detection of fluctuations and power quality issues. 

Operational Efficiency 

Ensure stable electricity flows across all distributed assets, optimizing energy use and minimizing disruptions. 

Fault Detection and Response

Detect faults immediately and take corrective actions to prevent system-wide issues, ensuring reliability. 

Gain Comprehensive Visibility and Control Over Your Microgrid

The key to effective microgrid management lies in comprehensive, real-time data. Edge Zero’s EdgeConnected platform provides: 

  • Unified Data View 
  • Seamless System Integration via API 
  • Predictive Maintenance

Optimized DER Integration for Energy Management

Maximize the Efficiency of Solar, Battery and EV Charging Systems

Incorporating distributed generation and EV charging into a microgrid or other private networks can strain infrastructure if not managed effectively. Edge Zero’s real-time monitoring platform supports:

  • DER Hosting Capacity Analysis: Evaluate how much additional DER capacity your network transformers can support without risking overload. 
  • Localized Energy Asset Siting: Identify optimal locations for solar panels, battery systems and EV chargers to maximize performance. 
  • Managed Charging and Discharge Programs: Use real-time data to manage battery storage and EV charging/discharge, ensuring the grid remains balanced. 

Edge Zero’s platform allows large facilities and utilities to maximize the use of DERs while maintaining grid stability and operational efficiency. 

Scaling Microgrid Solutions for Resiliency

As energy demands grow and infrastructure evolves, industrial facilities must plan for future scalability. Use real data to design private networks and microgrid systems that can grow alongside your facility’s energy needs while maintaining performance and reliability. 

Concurrently, maintain grid stability in both islanded and interconnected modes, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of grid outages.

Advanced Technology for Comprehensive Microgrid Management

Edge Zero’s powerful technology suite includes a range of advanced tools that enable efficient microgrid management and optimization:

Provides real-time monitoring of voltage, current and power factor at key distribution points, ensuring grid stability and fault detection. 

Tracks energy consumption at the switchboard or individual load level, enabling precise energy management and cost reduction.

Offers a unified platform that integrates data from both the EdgeSensor and Energy Monitor, providing comprehensive insights into microgrid performance, energy flows and DER integration.
