RPower Solutions for Industrial Manufacturing
We understand how critical uninterrupted operations are in industrial manufacturing. Our Resilience-as-a-Service (RaaS) program is tailored to you to better ensure your business remains resilient against power disruptions with minimal operational downtime.
We help industrial manufacturing clients ensure continuous operations and reduce costs through our Resilience-as-a-Service (RaaS) and Energy Management Solutions.
RPower Energy Resilience-as-a-Service (RaaS) for Industrial Manufacturing
Industrial manufacturing facilities can benefit significantly from a strategic energy management and resilience partner. RPower’s energy resilience program includes the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of a high quality, onsite energy microgrid that provides resiliency for your business operations.
Streamlined Operations, Enhanced Resilience
RPower’s RaaS program handles everything from design to ongoing management of onsite energy microgrids. These microgrids not only provide robust backup power but also support local utility grids during peak demand, preventing potential blackouts.
Eliminate Maintenance Hassles, Optimize Performance
Instead of investing in and maintaining standby power generation assets, RPower’s RaaS solution offers a hassle free alternative. We take care of ownership, installation, and maintenance while remotely monitoring and optimizing microgrid performance to maximize energy market benefits for your business.
Simple, Transparent, and Cost-Effective
With RPower RaaS, you benefit from a straightforward service agreement, a predictable monthly fee for budget certainty, and clear reporting on energy savings throughout the contract period.
When not providing onsite backup power, the microgrid will be utilized to provide capacity and relief to the local utility grid when it needs it the most to avoid blackouts.
Benefits of implementing a RPower RaaS solution
Staying Operational
Reduce the risks caused by utility outages with full-site backup power.
24/7/365 Remote Monitoring & Maintenance
Our team of experts are always analyzing the most effective opportunities to optimize your power utilization and prevent unplanned disruption
Zero Up Front Costs
Preserve capital with no up-front cost requirement.
Predictable Monthly Expense
A fixed monthly service charge as an operating expense.
Natural Gas Backup Power for Industrial Manufacturing Businesses
RPower’s RaaS solutions deploy clean natural gas generators, providing backup power and offering flexibility to:
Our clean natural gas generators can also reduce or fully decarbonize your backup power with renewable natural gas (RNG).
Specialized Solutions for Manufacturing Facilities
RPower provides natural gas backup generation solutions tailored for manufacturing sites. Our behind-the-meter RaaS solutions leverage clean natural gas generators, offering flexibility and cost savings while supporting grid stability during peak periods.
Demand Response Programs for Industrial Manufacturing
RPower’s Demand Response services help businesses manage electric usage and participate in Demand Response programs by leveraging their generation assets or curtailing energy consumption.
Our turnkey program optimizes energy consumption to enhance your bottom line. The RPower team provides real-time monitoring, updates and guidance on when and how to adjust electricity consumption most effectively. Depending on your energy profile, additional savings can be achieved through other energy management services.
Demand Response from RPower in 4 Simple Steps
The goal with a demand response program is to reduce stress on the grid during times of peak demand, maximize your compensation, and enhance grid reliability for the entire community.
Businesses partner with RPower to reduce energy consumption during periods of high grid demand.
Should the electric grid stability be jeopardized due to extreme weather or other extreme operating circumstances, RPower provides real-time guidance to our customer to reduce energy load consumption.
Customers make the recommended adjustments to reduce energy usage. In many cases, we can even automate the customer’s participation.
The customer is compensated with savings or reimbursements for helping support the local electric grid.
Coincident Peak Avoidance
Coincident Peak Avoidance helps reduce energy costs by managing and shifting power usage during peak demand times. By implementing this strategy, businesses can achieve significant savings on their utility bills while optimizing energy efficiency.
What Are Coincident Peak (CP) Charges?
Coincident peak (CP) charges, or transmission charges, make up a substantial portion of businesses’ energy bill. These costs correlate to energy consumption for commercial and industrial electricity customers within specific periods of the year that demand for electricity is highest.
With RPOWER’s services for energy monitoring and management, customers gain significant savings by strategically reducing load and conserving energy during these times.
When Do Coincident Peak (CP) Charges Happen?
Coincident peak charges can vary by state but are often in the summer season, when the demand placed on the electric grid is higher. For example, Texas’ highest demand occurs during the four months from June through September. During these months RPower forecasts CP event warnings and manages load either through curtailment or onsite generation to reduce customer demand.
What Factors Impact CP Charges and Savings?
The extent of potential savings depends on a few variables that differ from company to company, including:
Energy Dispatch and Energy Market Operations
The RPower Market Operations Center manages the interaction between the grid operator, utilities, and our managed resources (i.e. generation and storage assets). Our operators are trained to handle all aspects of Day-Ahead, Hour-Ahead, Real-Time Market, Scheduling and resource dispatch and recall.
Economic Energy Dispatch
Resources that can respond to real-time market signals and dispatch can take advantage of wholesale energy market participation. Thus, creating revenue can be realized as energy savings or as a standalone revenue stream. Each resource is unique and the RPower team will analyze and recommend the best strategy and operating parameters for your resource.
Ancillary Energy Management Services
Ancillary services maintain grid stability and address issues like unplanned outages. RPower, an ERCOT Level Four Qualified Scheduling Entity, uses advanced technology and experienced operators to manage these services.
Grid Operator and Utility Settlements
Energy market participation has several aspects that need to be properly covered. The enrollment and dispatch of a resource is just the beginning. RPower staff oversees the reconciliation and settlement of resources as they participate in energy market programs and services.
24/7 Real-Time Desk and Scheduling
The RPower ‘MOC’ is staffed to handle all aspects of energy market participation. Daily power scheduling, demand response, ancillary, and economic dispatch are at the core of our teams’ ability.
Regulation services or AGC
Ideally suited for generation, storage or controllable loads that respond in seconds to signals from the grid operator or utility.
Non-spinning reserves and ECRS
Generation, storage or controllable loads than can respond in between 10-30 minutes providing protection against unplanned generation and transmission outages.
