Caterpillar is a trusted leader in the energy industry, and Foley, Inc. helps companies take advantage of renewable energy through its microgrids. Cat® microgrids and hybrid energy solutions combine renewable power, efficient energy storage and power generation to meet the energy demands of various industries.
What Are Cat Microgrids?Microgrids are small, local energy sources. They may operate with an electrical grid or utility, or they can be disconnected from the grid to operate independently. These energy systems are self-sufficient, so they can generate their own power through turbines or generator sets. Microgrids are used for commercial applications and on- and off-grid communities to improve energy reliability or provide power in areas that cannot access the traditional grid.
Cat microgrids integrate with Cat power systems and are scalable to meet your unique energy needs. You can add an energy storage solution to your microgrid to improve the grid’s stability. Cat offers two types of microgrids:
–Hybrid energy solutions: These microgrids combine renewable wind or solar energy with conventional gas- or diesel-fueled generation to reduce energy costs and improve the stability of your power system.
–Distributed energy resources: These small-scale microgrids are set up near the site of electricity use to decrease the distance between energy generation and point of use.
Hybrid microgrid solutions support industrial growth and connect communities through a clean and energy-efficient solution. The advantages of the microgrid include:
Cat microgrids can be used in nearly any climate, as they’re built to last in extreme temperatures and humidity levels. Durability is one of the qualities that has made Caterpillar a respected leader in the industry.
The modules use photovoltaic and wind energy to offset the energy use of the gas or diesel generator, reducing carbon emissions and fuel usage.
Cat microgrids use thin-film solar modules, which perform better than traditional silicon panels.
Cat microgrids are scalable systems built with standardized components that can be installed when and where needed.
Photovoltaic energy is a competitive alternative to fuel and oil, and the microgrid increases the utilization of renewable energy while making the power system more stable. As a result, microgrid users can save money.
Microgrids improve energy efficiency with less reliance on the traditional power grid.
We have various types of microgrid solutions to fit your energy requirements:
