Microgrids, Backup Power and Voltage Support
Avoid Outages and Maintain Power Quality
Many organizations – from manufacturing and distribution centers, to healthcare and other critical facilities, to schools and grocery stores – are eager to explore microgrids and backup power. Depending on whether you face momentary power disruptions or long-term power outages, there are a few options available to improve power quality and your organization’s resilience. Stem has proven experience helping clients evaluate their power needs and build a backup power solution that achieves their business goals.
What are microgrids?
Microgrids are localized grids that can operate independently. If the grid shuts down, microgrids are still able to operate, providing resilience. Microgrids are often integrated with renewable power sources such as solar, using locally generated electricity when the grid is offline.
How do microgrids work?
A microgrid operates while connected to the grid but can separate and run independently using local energy generation during power outages. It can be powered by sources such as batteries, generators and solar.
