Resilient and Sustainable Local Energy Systems
Sole reliance on the aging centralized traditional grid of the past as our main energy source is proving to be a fallible strategy. As natural disasters and cyber threats increase, blackouts are on the rise, causing catastrophic and costly consequences to communities, critical facilities and the economy at large.
Microgrids – which can operate in parallel to the traditional grid or island independently to provide resilient and sustainable electricity – are transforming the energy industry. They are converting our previous utility-centric monopoly model to that of a hybrid and more distributed energy structure. This end user-centric approach that taps the surge in deployments of on-site DERs leads to fewer and shorter blackouts, cost savings, and less dependence on volatile fossil fuels.
With the Encorp Egility control platform, you gain a truly modular and configurable approach to assembling and managing a microgrid – one that enables you to integrate and control multiple DER without the need for costly customized software. The end-result? A low cost, yet feature-rich solution that enables virtually any organization in need of resilient and sustainable energy to reap the immense benefits created by a microgrid that can be incrementally and cost effectively upgraded over time.

Microgrid Benefits
Resiliency:
Microgrids provide interrupted high quality premium power for critical loads with or without a utility grid connection during hurricanes, wildfires or other adverse weather events.
Reliability:
Microgrids offer a stable, sustainable and localized power system which is extremely important in mission-critical operations such as data centers, hospitals, universities, military bases and many commercial and industrial sites.
Safety:
Can be hardened to withstand both cyber and physical threats, which is vital in high-security environments including prisons, military bases and other institutional and commercial customer sites.
Cost Savings:
Optimize the use of on-site renewable resources, energy storage and super-efficient fossil generation both within the microgrid and externally with the larger grid based on the cost of supply and demand.
Sustainability:
Microgrids can optimize DERs to – reduce electricity, heating and colling costs while reducing criteria pollutants as well as carbon-dioxide and methane emissions contributing to global climate change.
The Encorp Approach
The Encorp Egility solution suite enables project developers and end-use customers to effectively integrate and optimize the full span of diverse DER assets to reduce costs, improve resiliency and foster sustainability. Encorp’s three computing platform Egility serves as the heart of the system. The Egility delivers the control architecture required to integrate DER (including solar photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines, and advanced battery-based storage devices), and the intelligence needed to balance these resources so that premium power is provided to customer loads in the most reliable and economical method possible.
The one-of-a-kind Egility solution suite combines the modular functionality of several traditional control modules, protective relays and communication devices into a single, solid-state assembly to reduce troublesome network interfaces that have plagued the microgrid industry in the past due to proprietary and incompatible control schemes.. The standardized, modular Egility approach to execution dramatically reduces engineering and assembly time for paralleling switchgear applications, shortening microgrid deployment lead times to significantly less than what has been the industry standard.
