The Industry Challenge
Grid reliability varies significantly across Indian industrial regions, and for sites where downtime carries a high cost - continuous-process manufacturing, data centers, hospitals, cold storage - even brief outages create disproportionate financial and operational risk. Diesel backup addresses this only partially, with high cost, emissions, and start-up delay.
The ATC GridWorks Approach
ATC GridWorks engineers microgrids around the specific loads that must never lose power, sizing storage and generation to bridge realistic outage durations, and layering in the microgrid controller logic that manages the transition between grid-connected and islanded operation automatically and safely.
Benefits
- Seamless, automatic transition to islanded operation during grid outages
- Reduced or eliminated diesel generator dependency for critical loads
- Solar and storage integration that improves the economics of resilience, not just its performance
- Full ATC GridWorks lifecycle ownership - design, build, operate, optimize
Applications
Data centers, hospitals, continuous-process manufacturing, telecom infrastructure, ports, and any facility where downtime cost materially exceeds the cost of a resilient, intelligently-controlled microgrid.
FAQs
A BESS is a storage component; a microgrid is a complete system - generation, storage, and control logic - capable of operating independently from the main grid. Most microgrids include a BESS as one component.
This depends entirely on the sizing of storage and generation relative to the critical load - ATC GridWorks sizes each microgrid to a specific target outage-ride-through duration agreed with the customer during the energy assessment.
