Powered by GridGEM
Argand’s export & import limitation solution is powered by our GridGEM technology, ensuring that your project’s power flows comply with your country’s Grid standards (G100, UK). GridGEM’s “asset-agnostic” approach will ensure network connection compliance for any low carbon generation, energy storage, &/or load management e.g electric vehicles.
Our export / import limitation solution will not only guarantee that your power flows meet the network operator’s requirements - including dynamic power point limits (PPL) and fail-safe, GridGEM will also provide a data acquisition solution to enable you and your project stakeholders to access real / near-time data via our GridLENZ platform.
✺ Case Studies ✺
-
Argand Solutions - working with ESE Ltd - completed a high voltage G100 / G99 constraint management project with full micro-grid, wind, solar and battery storage integration; helping Keele to be placed as one of the top universities in the world for sustainability (UI Green Metric World Rankings, 2020).
-
GridGEM was chosen by Plymouth Marjon University and their key energy contractor, Mole Energy, to provide a G100 compliant solution to manage their export constraint at their site. The project was deemed to be complex due to the distances involved and the client’s HV connected site which required significant design engineering. The system manages 2 different installations to ensure that export remains within the DNO’s required limit.
-
GridGEM was chosen by Ethical Power to provide the G99 interface for active control plus the provision of a G99 fault and power quality recorder.
The system is one of only 2 that are approved in the UK market and will enable any type C or larger installation meet the existing DNO G99 requirements for real-time data recording.
-
GridGEM was chosen by Vensys wind turbines, based in Germany, to provide a G99 compliant Grid controller solution for its wind turbines installed in the UK.
Argand have just completed our 1st project with this new technology solution for a 3.5MW Vensys wind turbine owned by Clean Earth Energy, supplying power to a local manufacturing business in South Wales.
-
GridGEM was chosen by Black Dog Biogas to provide the solution to the complex set of problems associated with connecting their biogas electricity generating units to the Vestas wind turbine manufacturing site in the Isle of Wight in the UK.
The project had issues of parallel supply, active network management (ANM) & export limitation (G100 in the UK.)
-
GridGEM was chosen by Sungift Energy as their chosen solution to enable the connection of their 240 kWp solar PV system at BREAN Leisure Park. GridGEM was chosen because it made the complex connection problem simple to overcome.
