DC-Coupled Microgrid

CBS Power Solutions approached Nuvation Energy for assistance integrating Nuvation’s high-voltage battery management system into the energy storage component of a microgrid on the remote island of Lifuka. Lifuka is a 4.4 square mile island in the the Kingdom of Tonga that had been receiving electrical power exclusively from diesel generators. In order to meet a government mandate to derive 50% of island grid power from clean energy, the Kingdom of Tonga contracted CBS Power Solutions to add solar power and 480 kW / 495 kWh of VRLA-based energy storage to their island grid.

Maximo Solar, POWERSYNC Energy Solutions, and Nuvation Energy collaborated to add solar power and energy storage to a microgrid project in Puerto Rico. The project was managed by architectural and engineering firm Arco Caribe.
