When power fails, a diesel backup system can supply needed electricity and enable operational continuity and uninterrupted services. This system can run continuously if there’s a stable fuel supply; coordinating the generation profile of diesel backup alongside building loads can extend the fuel supply and enable ongoing operations through long-lasting grid outages.

With proper controls, a grid outage can trigger a set of automated responses across buildings to turn off or dim LED lights, providing illumination only where it is needed most. As with electrified heating systems, reducing the demand burdens placed on the microgrid creates a hedge, extending the capabilities of the microgrid while the grid is brought back online.

Coordinating the supply and demand of a microgrid is crucial, especially during grid outages. Honeywell’s Microgrid Controls and Honeywell Forge Sustainability+ for Buildings | Power Manager software can employ machine learning tools to optimize operations, extend the availability of backup resources and create a seamless transition from grid power to microgrid power and back again once the grid is restored.

This solution provides a customizable and configurable controller with frequency control, fuel saver, backup power and facility peak shaving capabilities. In case of grid failure, Microgrid Controls equips metro areas with the ability to monitor and optimize renewable power sources, maintain the charge of generators for a reliable power supply and help keep energy usage below the microgrid's threshold.
Power continuity is a must for metro-area facilities, especially hospitals. When bad weather hits and outages occur, microgrids can help the cornerstones of metro areas avoid worst-case scenarios by swiftly replacing primary power sources and keeping medical equipment and data systems online with decentralized, independent energy.
Utilities can’t provide metro areas with power because of severe weather, heightened demand or damaged infrastructure, etc. Completely off-grid, metro areas rely on backup systems and energy storage to keep operations as normal as possible.

Honeywell and Redaptive help disaggregate energy usage to an electric panel level, making visible the consumption of different circuits within a building. Operators can then diagnose where energy usage is higher than average and apply appropriate solutions. Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Buildings | Predictive Maintenance can help identify if assets are running outside of desired ranges.

The trend to electrify heating systems creates new demand for electricity that grid operators must consider in their load-balancing activities. Electrification efforts are good for the environment, often replacing natural gas-fired systems with electricity that is inherently cleaner, but they place greater strain on the grid and incrementally increase the chance of grid disruptions.

Many facilities have considered or have already completed LED lighting upgrades as it is one of the most financially attractive energy efficiency measures. LEDs are easy to control with building management systems and automation routines, adjusting so lighting is provided only when it is needed. This optimization strategy can incrementally reduce the strain on the grid.

This conglomeration of office buildings, transportation systems and hospitals consumes significant energy to carry out essential functions. Orchestrating these power needs and making critical facilities robust to grid outages are considerable challenges. Many of the best systems include a microgrid with smaller distributed energy resources to provide power security no matter what happens with the grid.
Utilities provide metro areas with power via the grid, balancing supply and demand as needed for the most effective and efficient use of energy.
