Agricultural & Greenhouses

Agriculture and greenhouse enterprises rely on power certainty. As renewables have had a positive environmental impact to utility grids, they have introduced increasing challenges in power quality control. These power quality issues can degrade the quality of power at a given site causing issues that can ultimately affect downtime, and reduce application hardware lifespan. With the threat of natural disasters, expansive utility grids are more at risk of outages. Blackouts and brownouts can cause production interruptions and scrap. Poor power quality can effectively cause early equipment failures in these operations. Standby power is expensive to run, and this rising cost of utility power will negatively impact your bottom line. The integration of renewables at the site can further complicate the power quality. Investment in renewables is substantial, but the grid needs to be optimized to harness their potential to see real cost savings.

For the first time, standby systems can have the same or better costs than utility power. Innovus is changing the market by allowing agricultural businesses to be self-powered at a lower cost than what many utilities can provide.

Our GridGenius Natural Gas and BridgeGenius products can assure the power certainty and power quality that you need to keep your operations running efficiently.

Commercial & Industrial

With the increase of natural disasters, utility grids are more at risk of outages. Blackouts and brownouts are causing rising production interruptions and scrap. Poor power quality can effectively cause early equipment failures and also cause blackouts and brownouts. Standby power is expensive to run, and the rising cost of utility power is becoming a way of life in more regions of the world. For more and more companies, this trend is negatively impacting their bottom line. For the first time, Innovus-enabled standby and primary power systems can have the same or better costs than utility power. Companies can now have a choice in power suppliers and a future where their power certainty and cost can be improved and more predictable.

Innovus is changing the market by allowing businesses to be powered at a lower cost than what many utilities can provide. Our GridGenius Natural Gas and BridgeGenius solutions can assure the power certainty and power quality that you need to keep your operations running efficiently.

Power quality can be further complicated by the integration of renewables. Investment in renewables is substantial, and the grid needs to be optimized to harness their potential and realize true cost savings.

Medical & Extended Care

Medical and Extended Care facilities have patients who depend on them for a quality of care. These facilities rely on power that is always available. Sophisticated medical devices require high-quality power to operate as intended. As a result, the quality and resilience of that power can be life-impacting.

As natural disasters have increased in many regions, utility planned or unplanned shutdowns have become a critical challenge that must be addressed. Power quality can also be a serious life-threatening issues depending where the power is coming from to support the facility’s patient care equipment. GridGenius can assure that the power certainty delivered to your facilities is maximized and any opportunity to lower the site’s cost of power can be realized.

Military

Power generation is the largest consumer of fuel in all the branches of the US military. A single gallon of fuel can cost over $400 a gallon delivered to a forward operating base. This doesn’t factor in the risk to personnel to deliver the fuel to hostile environments. Most of the time, forward operating commanders are responsible for ordering power generation equipment and “oversize” just in case. This leads to low-load factors and extremely poor fuel economy. With our GridGenius Variable Speed generators, estimation of load is not as critical, saving precious fuel and potentially also saving lives. Our high-quality power is also extremely important for sensitive electronics. With the desire to use more renewables, our ease of renewable integration is also highly attractive. Fuel savings can exceed 20% in fossil only operations and climb well above 50% when full penetration solar or wind power are available and optimized through GridGenius.

Mining

Mining operations are often in remote locations where connection to the “grid” is not possible. Conveyors and rock crushers are often electrically driven with highly variable loads.

Innovus GridGenius solutions with variable speed generator sets not only provide clean power to extend the life of these motors, but greatly reduce fuel consumption when compared to fixed speed gensets. Lower operating costs directly affect the bottom line of mining operations. In more regions of the world, solar power is becoming more compelling, but can be difficult to realize its full potential. GridGenius can become the hub of mining’s new hybrid microgrids. Fuel savings can exceed 20% in fossil only operations and climb well above 50% when full penetration solar or wind power are available and optimized through GridGenius.

Oil & Gas

Fuel costs and operational downtime caused by power loss can have a huge financial impact across the oil & gas supply chain, amounting to millions of dollars in lost revenue. GridGenius with variable speed technology can support exploration and production operations, lowering operational costs and increasing uptime by providing high-quality dependable power.

As you look to upgrade to your power production, GridGenius variable speed generators can replace legacy fixed speed gensets to deliver improved fuel efficiency and emissions. Fuel savings per installation can exceed 20%,

Power Utilities

Power utilities are under constant pressure reducing emissions and costs, while maintaining power quality and power certainty to their customers. That is a tall order before you factor in the unknowns. The increasing threat of natural disasters hamper the ability to plan resources, both capital and human, to meet demands. Then, factor in the need to keep up with expansion in rapidly growing communities, and the situation gets more complex to control.

Innovus Power is the ideal partner for utilities. We can provide distributed generation capability to enhance their capability to meet their objectives. Our GridGenius Solution maintains grid stability so renewable penetration can be increased, while delivering the lowest cost of distributed power. We give utilities the power to manage and operate the interconnects, and we are key to your grid resiliency strategy by providing a more distributed power model.

Because of the new dynamics of solar and wind power that have changed the strategy of fossil generation, you may need additional expertise to assist in rethinking your integration strategy.

Remote Communities

We provide better ways to address power generation for remote communities, which have long been stalled by the lack of innovation in fixed speed generator set technology. Our variable speed technology runs the engine at its most fuel efficient speed to meet the load on a moment by moment basis. By doing so, we eliminate the complexity of economic fixed speed generator dispatch which utilizes different sized generator sets to optimize power house fuel efficiency. The variable speed generator solution adds life to the generator set engine and lowers life cycle costs. Our GridGenius products are available to support both diesel and natural gas systems.

As you look to upgrade to your powerhouse, GridGenius variable speed generators (VSG) can replace legacy fixed speed gensets to deliver improved fuel efficiency and emissions. Innovus VSGs can either operate on their own or multiple VSG units without independent paralleling and switch gear or they can be added to existing fixed speed generator set powerhouses to optimize the efficiencies of the generator set group. For communities with existing renewables, the addition of BridgeGenius can improve the yield of on-site wind and/or solar. For communities planning on adding renewables, our technology will allow significantly more renewables to your grid, providing a much lower cost of energy and reduced emissions. We help future-proof your grid to easily add and more effectively manage solar and/or wind, assuring the highest power yield from that investment.

Resorts & Hotels

Resorts and hotels have an increasing need for improved power certainty and lower cost power. Often, site locations are in areas where the utility grid is too expensive and not reliable to ensure ongoing business is uninterrupted. In most cases power is the second highest cost line in the cost of operations after personnel. In resort and hotel operations that have solar or wind power at sites tied to utility grids, many location operators are surprised when grid outages occur and their solar or wind power is also unavailable. With Innovus GridGenius, renewables will be available when the utility grid goes down due to natural disaster or any other event.

GridGenius can offer facility operators the option of stand-by power, or primary power. It is available for both natural gas and diesel, making it ideal for nearly any location. BridgeGenius is the perfect upfit for existing grids to provide better power certainty, and lower cost power. For locations where rapid facility expansion can create more business opportunity, our products allow for faster expansion of power delivery capacity to your sites, reducing the dependence on the local utility.

Sea & Rail Auxiliary Power

Auxiliary Power is critical for sea containerized shipping to ensure the safe delivery of temperature-sensitive cargo. In rail applications, auxiliary power systems are used to handle climate control and all other power needs to support passenger requirements.

GridGenius Diesel provides lower cost and lower emissions auxiliary house load power for these applications. Fuel and emissions savings can exceed 20% when the GridGenius variable speed generation is deployed.

Ship to Shore

Ports are a busy place. Some days and hours are busier than others. When ships are pulled into port and cranes are operating to load or remove cargo, port operations see very high power generation requirements. The size of these power utilization spikes can vary from minute to minute. These utilization spikes can wreak havoc on the power generation system. Natural gas power may not be able to react quickly enough to accommodate for the surge in power requirements. Sizing power to accommodate the high energy spikes is expensive and under-utilized for the majority of the time.

The flexibility of the Innovus platform provides the optimal solution for this unique application. GridGenius assures power quality and certainty for peak load times and can react quickly to support them. Because of the flexibility of the GridGenius platform to optimize fossil and stored energy, the system can be right-sized, without overspending to meet the peak demand requirements.
