What are Microgrid Consulting Services?
Microgrid Consulting Services help organizations plan, design, optimize, and support onsite power systems that combine technologies such as renewables, energy storage, utility grid connections, and dispatchable generation. Innovus Power focuses on vendor-agnostic design using proprietary modeling tools and GridGenius controls to improve reliability, reduce energy costs, increase renewable penetration, and simplify long-term operation.
Who can benefit from microgrid consulting?
Microgrid consulting is valuable for organizations with high power costs, outage exposure, remote operations, emissions goals, or complex energy demands. Innovus Power supports markets such as military, oil and gas, remote communities, mining, resorts and hotels, commercial and industrial facilities, utilities, medical and extended care sites, agriculture, greenhouses, and auxiliary sea or rail power applications.
How does Innovus Power design a microgrid?
Innovus Power uses proprietary modeling and simulation tools to evaluate load requirements, available energy resources, storage needs, grid interaction, dispatchable generation, power quality, reliability targets, and lifecycle costs. The resulting design is vendor-agnostic, meaning recommendations are based on performance and economics rather than preference for a specific component manufacturer or single technology.
What makes the GridGenius platform different?
GridGenius is Innovus Power’s proprietary microgrid platform, including an Energy Management Control System designed to simplify power system operation. It supports high renewable energy penetration, improved power quality, reduced maintenance and training needs, remote monitoring, software upgrades, and optimized coordination of multiple energy sources so customers can operate resilient onsite power more efficiently.
Can microgrid consulting reduce energy costs?
Yes. Innovus Power’s solutions are designed to reduce levelized cost of energy by optimizing generation mix, storage sizing, fuel use, renewable penetration, and controls. Company-provided value propositions include potential power cost reductions of up to 80%, flat future costs for decades, and the ability to compete with utility-scale power in suitable applications.
Does Innovus Power provide support after commissioning?
Yes. Post-commissioning operations and maintenance support is available for GridGenius systems after installation. Services include ongoing system optimization, maintenance guidance, preventive care, troubleshooting, software upgrades, and worldwide 24/7 remote monitoring through tools such as PowerView and FleetGenius for single-system or fleet management.
Is project financing available for microgrid implementation?
Project financing options are available through Innovus Power’s development partners. These options can support microgrid investments for commercial and industrial facilities, remote communities, and other onsite power generation projects. Financing guidance helps customers evaluate implementation paths while pursuing energy independence, improved reliability, emissions reduction, and manageable project economics.
Does Innovus Power only recommend renewable energy systems?
No. Innovus Power focuses on the right overall microgrid configuration for the customer’s application. Designs may include solar, wind, hydro, utility grid systems, energy storage, and dispatchable generation using fossil or hydrogen fuels. The objective is to maximize renewable integration where practical while maintaining utility-grade power quality, reliability, and low operating cost.
