Paladin® Microgrid Power Management System™
As the first commercially available software platform designed specifically for the online management and control of next-generation “hybrid” power infrastructure incorporating both traditional utility power and on-premise power generation, e.g., solar power, wind turbines, battery storage.
It optimizes energy consumption in multi-energy source sites, whether they are focused on a single objective — such as minimizing the annual cost, carbon footprint, peak load, or public utility consumption — or a combination of objectives that vary by time, costs, energy source reliability, etc. As more organizations supplement their utility power with on-premise power generation, Paladin SmartGrid helps in several key ways:
- • Serves as a master controller for intelligent smart grid design, monitoring and trading (i.e., selling electricity
- back into the public grid);
- • Monitors in real-time micro grid power quality, utilization and capacity, in order to offer excess capacity to the
- smart grid;
- • Monitors all transactions between public electric service and micro grid infrastructure;
- • Maintains rate and pricing information for management of private-public exchange.
