Embedded generation, also known as distributed or local generation, is any type of individual electricity generation unit that is connected to the electricity distribution network. Many clients implement ‘behind-the-meter’ embedded generation solutions which can provide a range of benefits, such as decreased electricity bills and backup power.
How can we help?
- Solar/wind energy yield assessments and feasibility studies
- Load profile analysis and shifting to match embedded generation
- Grid connection services
- Micro-grids
- Battery and energy storage
- Power utility interface
- Connection application support
- Economic assessment and business case development software
Our experience
Some of our experience is highlighted below:
- 30 GWh/year, multiple technologies at a large wastewater treatment plant: Solar, wind, biogas storage and battery storage yield assessments and feasibility studies, consideration of client operational requirements and HOMER software analysis
- 30-100 kW solar installations across multiple water industry sites: Solar yield assessments and feasibility studies including consideration of NSP export limits, load profile analysis and optimisation, concept plant design including integration into existing electrical – infrastructure
- 4 MVA hydro: Detailed HV switchgear design, protection study and earthing study
- 40 MW solar farm: Concept plant design grid connection services and PSSE load flow studies
- 5 MW solar farm: Economic analysis for all components required for solar farm operation
