Microgrids and Resiliency

Fully integrated distributed energy solutions to help businesses, asset managers and utility operators control their costs and minimize their environmental impact. Expert engineers design every energy system in-house — from autonomous microgrids to emergency backup power to end-to-end energy efficiency improvements. 


microgrids

Advanced microgrid systems designed to deliver continuous and redundant power generation — even during blackouts and other grid disruptions. Through our partnership with PowerSecure, a part of the Southern Company, NRTC can offer microgrid solutions that integrate seamlessly with the existing electricity network, which autonomously generate and store energy so that you can continue powering your operations. Equally important, they are source-agnostic, allowing you to balance your energy mix for increased redundancy and resiliency.

An electric utility’s commercial and industrial (C&I) members represent an important part of their load profile. Through PowerSecure, NRTC can help our co-op members provide tangible demand management to these valuable members — leveraging back-up generation to meet back-up power requirements and avoid high-cost power and demand charges. Best of all, it does so by leveraging assets the C&I member already has in place.

Suwannee Valley Begins AMI Project

NRTC and Itron representatives gathered last week in the offices of Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative, Live Oak, FL, to kick off a major advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) project. The multi-year deployment will eventually link about 28,500 electric meters, including more than 27,000 rural residences.

NRTC Teams Up with Itron at Recent Meter Schools to Share Utility Metering Expertise

NRTC’s Josh Pepple and Patrick Jordan recently spoke at “meter schools,” conferences where electric industry techs can learn about meter technology developments. It was an opportunity for NRTC to demonstrate its close working relationship with Itron. At the 43rd Annual Electric Power and Metering School at Mississippi State University, Pepple gave presentations on implementing affordable projects and using AMI for distributed energy. Jordan co-presented a talk on AMI data value streams with Itron’s Bryan Seal (pictured above).
