MICROGRIDS

Coordinated power.

Microgrids give you complete control over your power, combining multiple energy resources to ensure reliable uptime.

INTEGRATED BY DESIGN

Multiple resources. One coordinated system

Microgrids combine generation, storage, and controls into a single system that can operate with the grid or independently.

REC Power's microgrid systems support:

  • Coordinated operation across multiple on-site resources
  • Continuity between grid-connected and islanded modes
  • Control over cost, reliability, and system performance
  • Single-owner accountability across the full system

Microgrids turn separate resources into one dependable system.

Microgrid Components

  • Solar

    Renewable energy generation

  • Energy storage

    Timing and response

  • Fuel cells

    Always-on power generation

  • Gensets

    Dispatchable firm power

DESIGNED FOR CONTROL

Built for how systems actually operate

REC Power structures microgrids for day-to-day performance, not only emergency events.

Microgrids are designed to operate seamlessly in both grid-connected and islanded modes, maintaining continuous performance based on operating requirements, resilience objectives, and market conditions.

Operate alongside the utility grid to manage costs, support load, and improve day-to-day performance.
Transition to independent operation without disruption, maintaining continuous power during grid outages.

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

Performance that stays available

REC Power owns and operates microgrids as a long-term resource, not a short-term optimization tool.

  • Monitor

    Continuous performance monitoring to understand how the system is operating over time.

  • Maintain

    Proactive maintenance that helps keep capacity available when it is needed.

  • Coordinate

    Operational standards across sites and portfolios, even as conditions vary by market and use case.

  • Steward

    Lifecycle management as site needs, market conditions, and operating requirements change.

Ownership is how coordinated power remains available — and dependable — over time.
