Eaton and Calibrant Energy partnered to develop and finance a solar + storage microgrid at Eaton’s Arecibo manufacturing site by leveraging their respective intelligent power management capabilities. The microgrid, which includes Calibrant’s optimization software and Eaton’s Power Xpert Microgrid Controller, is one of the largest microgrids on the island, providing 13 MW of available power. The microgrid will ensure the power stays on for the manufacturer’s strategic island site, even during periods of local grid instability or damaging hurricanes. The system supplements Eaton’s existing 8 MW of backup generation, and is designed to withstand Category 5 hurricanes.
