Energy Solutions
MRIGlobal is committed to creating a healthy, safe, and sustainable world.
That’s why we design and help deploy technology that supports an energy future for people everywhere. Our microgrid solutions provide energy reliability and resilience for commercial, industrial, and military applications and help improve energy access for underdeveloped countries.
Capabilities
MRIGlobal microgrids are custom-designed to provide dependable operations. Our capabilities include:
Energy demand assessments are one of the most difficult steps in the planning and implementation of minigrids for energy access and rural electrification. MRIGlobal conducts energy demand assessments for multiple projects in remote regions around the world. We have the ideal combination of site survey tools and staff experience to help project developers make the right decision in sizing their systems for implementation.
Building resiliency into all aspects of power supply systems reduces the likelihood of power system disruption due to unanticipated emergency events and shortfalls in power generation. MRIGlobal performs predesign resiliency analysis to identify mission critical loads, prioritizes their importance, and develops microgrid solutions. The result maximizes both power quality and reliability at the lowest cost.
Microgrids and minigrids that combine renewables, energy storage, and diesel generators can supply energy at the lowest levelized cost and offer fast investment payback. MRIGlobal’s approach optimizes component sizes to project requirements, which successfully resolves challenges in hybrid systems implementation.
We offer comprehensive experience and unique full service capability, providing technical support for all aspects of microgrid and minigrid implementation. We analyze all predesign feasibility in the development stage; support the design, installation, and commissioning. MRIGlobal has maintained and operated microgrids for more than 15 years.
Comprehensive Microgrid Energy Access Solutions
MRIGlobal performed energy demand assessments for US Trade Development Agency-funded minigrid projects for rural electrification of ~200,000 households in remote areas of Tanzania, Senegal, and Ghana. Our team applied field data to prepare conceptual and optimized designs of hybrid solar-battery-diesel minigrids. We performed economic and financial analyses to present bankable feasibility study reports required to seek project financing. MRIGlobal microgrid energy systems provide reliable power for analytical, forensic, and clinical diagnostic laboratories for the US military and humanitarian assistance programs throughout the world.
GridNXT Microgrid Testing Facility
Designed to meet the challenge of integrating increased renewable energy resources, GridNXT provides a flexible, easily accessible, and cost-competitive testbed, allowing technology providers to validate power system components in a plug-and-play mode for proprietary or collaborative testing.
Companies can integrate their individual equipment and devices with the microgrid or any specific microgrid components at multiple points using GridNXT-provided pads and switchgear. GridNXT is also designed to facilitate testing and demonstration of advanced grid management systems and has dedicated space available for testing complete microgrid systems (with custom programmed load scenarios). Systems and components can be tested year-round under full environmental conditions.
