FAQ
AMRENERGY helps our clients make informed decisions by providing purchase options, financing methods, system ownership, installation timelines, permits, maintenance, and long-term benefits.
What is a DER?
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is a general term referring to a variety of small-scale electricity generation and storage devices that are generally connected to a centralized or islanded power grid. These sources are a variety of energy types such as Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Natural Gas Generators and Battery Storage, amongst others optionally mixed with utility grid power.
How big are AMRENERGY's DER Systems?
Every DER System is sized to maximize energy generation at lowest cost of energy (LCOE). Full turnkey systems start at 50kW to 4MW for optimized-resilient electricity designed with a combination of solar, natural gas generators, battery storage, solid oxide fuel cells with or without utility grid power connection.
Why is AMRENERGY different?
AMRENERGY uses a proprietary energy analysis platform that incorporates the property address, historical utility data, power demand and use profiles to model a balanced DER system. We analyze the various energy sources that can be optimized during peak hours and balance multiple power generation equipment.
How does demand management save costs?
Priority is focused to keep cost of electricity to a minimum during peak demand by balancing demand forecasting, peak shaving, load balancing and time-of-use (TOU) metering by leveraging AMRENERGY’s proprietary DER Management Software (DERMS) and AMREN’s Microgrid power distribution edge controllers.
How does Load Management help?
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are designed to scale to load demands as they fluctuate daily and at times hourly. Creating pockets of savings each day to drive lower cost of energy over time makes DERs ideal for commercial and industrial as well as multi-tenant buildings.
What does "Turnkey DER System" mean?
After a detailed electrical design is completed, AMRENERGY procures all necessary hardware and configures the software to operate the microgrid and DERMS. The equipment is shipped to the install site, fully packaged for the installer to begin without the need to procure any extra equipment, aside from some fasteners, ancillary hardware or miscellaneous parts to complete the DER installation.
Do DERs balance load demand?
Designing a balanced DER system requires demand analysis and load modeling to identify optimal sizing of solar panels, inverters, battery storage systems, needs for natural gas generators, fuel cells, grid power and related equipment to manage the on-site microgrid and DER Management Software (DERMS).
What deterimines the best Financing option?
Every DER project varies with the system size, industry and client’s fiscal health. Payment is usually lower than the total annual cost for electricity thanks to DER system’s lower cost of electricity and tax related benefits.
