Replacing technologies that are powered by fossil fuels with technologies powered by renewable energy sources is a key ingredient in the decarbonization recipe.

The formation of ice on the blades of a wind turbine is a major and often overlooked problem.

Incorporating a BESS into a microgrid provides benefits that can be combined for what is known as “value stacking.”

Multiple generators can meet high power requirements and adjust for lower demand. Depending on load, a microgrid designed to deliver 40 MW can run with five generators, two, or even one. 

Kohler has a proven history of resilient power solutions that have survived the unforgiving terrain of the south pole — more than 90 years ago, Adm. Richard Byrd powered his Antarctic journey with Kohler generators, and they were his only means to communicate back to the civilized world.

The hub would be developed around various energy-related infrastructure components, such as cable landings and turbines, with a microgrid system at its core. 

BESSs can provide critical backup power, preventing potential revenue losses due to production delays and downtime. But, there’s more.

ABB’s microgrid solutions allow data centers to operate fully off-grid, powered by their own solar or wind generation coupled with battery energy storage systems (BESSs), or partially off-grid by utilizing both renewables and power networks.

Using a modular approach, ABB’s microgrid solutions allow data centers to operate fully off-grid, powered by their own solar or wind generation coupled with battery energy storage systems (BESS), or partially off-grid by utilizing both renewables and power networks.
