Greensmith Energy (Herndon, VA, U.S.), a provider of energy storage software and turnkey solutions, on February 7th,
2017 announced that Oncor Electric Delivery (Dallas, TX, U.S.) has
selected Greensmith as the software provider for its micro-grid facility
in Dallas.
Oncor’s advanced micro-grid consists of: a
carport PV array, ground mount PV array, micro-turbine, diesel
generators, gas reciprocating generator and battery storage unit.
The software upgrade and installation is considered a
milestone for the industry and demonstrates the value of leveraging
Greensmith’s software platform – GEMS, the company notes.
The Oncor micro-grid showcases how micro-grids can
perform grid-tied and off-grid in order to provide continuous, reliable
power – this is especially important in regions with severe storms and
unpredictable weather conditions.
Greensmith’s software integrates all of Oncor’s
micro-grid assets and seamlessly orchestrates performance of a variety
of complex grid applications supporting power quality and energy
availability.
As energy storage systems are fully networked into a
variety of distributed energy resources, including solar and other
forms of local generation such as diesel, GEMS becomes the backbone of
an intelligent distributed energy resource management system (DERMS).
Linked together, storage and distributed energy
resources can address both supply and demand needs, as well as, supply
select grid services.
