The Encorp Gold Box™ was among the first distributed energy intelligence control devices commercialized for on-site power supply optimization. Today’s advanced rendition is the product of tens-of-millions-of-dollars of private and venture capital investment. Since its introduction into the global marketplace seeking solutions for the management of distributed energy resources (DER) in microgrids, demand response, combined heat and power and related virtual power plant (VPP) applications over 20 years ago, several thousand Gold Boxes have been installed in mission critical and premium power installations worldwide.
The Gold Box controller is a multi-faceted device that provides for the aggregation and control of all forms of DER, including advanced batteries. In many of these complex projects, the Gold Box also serves as a the primary protection and control device at utility points of common coupling, offering a low-cost but feature rich solution serving both project hosts and utilities. The Gold Box is a great example of how advanced hardware systems can help solve DER control challenges on today’s 21st century power grid.
The Gold Box with the PTC-enabled (Power Transfer Control) configuration provides safe, reliable transfer of power between a single generator and the utility grid. Standard options include a wide variety of traditional control modules and open-communication protocols integrated into a single unit.
The Gold Box with the kWS-enabled (kilowatt sharing) configuration provides safe, reliable paralleling of multiple generators. Combined with our UPC, the kWS-enabled Gold Box is ideal for synchronizing and paralleling multiple generators to the utility grid.
These integrated solutions provide easier and faster installation, increased reliability and the latest cutting-edge technology. Combined with our 2-year standard warranty and 24-hour technical support, the Gold Box is the complete solution for all distributed energy needs.
