Microgrid & virtual power plant

Dispatch for islands, industrial parks and weak-grid sites

  • Industrial parks, island operators, IPPs and energy service companies

Key facts

Island and grid-tied modes with defined switching
Edge Control with cloud reporting
CO₂e Measured, not reconstructed

Overview

Microgrid & virtual power plant

Solar, storage, diesel and load coordinated by an edge controller, with carbon accounting built into the same schedule.

Industry

  • 01 Diesel dominates the energy mix because the dispatch logic has no visibility of the next cloud or the next shift.
  • 02 Storage is sized for backup only, so it sits idle most of the day.
  • 03 Carbon reporting is reconstructed annually from fuel invoices rather than measured.

How the two engines meet

Hardware, platforms and the people who run them

Industrial parks, island operators, IPPs and energy service companies

Hardware

Hardware layer

Edge compute nodes, containerised storage, PV inverters and generator controllers.

Platform

Platform layer

Forecasting, dispatch optimisation, island-mode switching and carbon ledger.

Operations

Operations layer

Daily dispatch review, fuel planning and participation in demand response or VPP programmes where rules allow.

Delivery path

Delivery path

Specifications for procurement, architecture for technical review, and an operating model for the years after commissioning.

01

Load and resource survey

Twelve-month load shape, irradiance and fuel logistics reviewed together.

02

Control design

Switching logic, reserve margins and failure modes signed off with the operator.

03

Operating rhythm

Dispatch review moves from weekly to daily as the team takes over the schedule.
