Although a growing number of microgrid solutions now feature renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or wind turbines, both power sources are intermittent — resulting in variable and unpredictable energy generation throughout the day.
This is why our advanced microgrid solutions also come with natural gas power generation. With this additional on-site, energy generation capacity, you benefit from uninterrupted access to emergency backup and load power — even during blackouts and other grid failures.
Read on to discover additional benefits of using PowerSecure’s microgrids equipped with natural gas energy generation technology.
Natural Gas Engineering: Reimagined & Redefined
As organizations look for innovative ways to reduce their impact on the planet, our commercial natural gas generators offer the ideal balance of operational performance and environmental sustainability:
- When coupled with on-site solar, wind or battery storage, your natural gas power station can provide your facility with 24/7 uninterrupted access to energy — whether you’re looking for base load power generation or emergency backup power. For organizations that require 100% uptime, our natural gas technology can provide invaluable peace of mind.
- The fuel cells in our advanced microgrid solutions use natural gas made from feedstocks and other organic materials. As a result, you can dramatically shrink your carbon footprint while simultaneously reducing your reliance on grid electricity generated from dirty fossil fuel.
Additional benefits of using our natural gas engines for power generation include:
- Savings: The ability to generate and store your electricity allows you to decrease your reliance on utility power, resulting in measurable financial savings. Equally important, our natural gas generators and fuel cells adhere to the strictest quality controls — resulting in minimal maintenance requirements and, thus, higher savings across the board.
- Redundancy: Even when the sun sets, the wind stops and the grid goes down, you can have reliable access to emergency backup power around the clock. This is why PowerSecure microgrids built with natural gas capacity appeal to data centers, military installations, medical facilities, government agencies, utility providers and other organizations for which continuous and uninterrupted power are non-negotiable.
