ProtoGen - Southern Pennsylvania Microgrid Resilience Corridor

The Southern Pennsylvania Resilience Corridor, developed after Hurricane Sandy, highlights a transformative regional approach to energy resilience. The project, initiated by ProtoGen and supported by DOE-OE and INL, addresses the critical need for energy security in Southeastern Pennsylvania's transportation and infrastructure network. Utilizing Xendee's advanced modeling and optimization tools, the project integrates microgrids across five utilities with a medium-voltage backbone, enabling seamless operation during outages. Xendee's iterative design and simulation capabilities ensure the corridor's ability to provide energy during emergencies and adapt as new assets are introduced.

Currently, $70 million in assets are operational, with notable successes such as Quakertown's capacity to support 70% of its peak load, benefiting over 38,000 people in surrounding areas. This initiative serves as a model for regional microgrid implementation, balancing cost-effectiveness with disaster preparedness. It demonstrates how strategic microgrid placement and advanced planning tools like Xendee can enhance energy resilience and inform national microgrid policies.

SolarEdge - EV Fleet for European Retailer

SolarEdge, in collaboration with Xendee, helped a European retailer transition from diesel to electric trucks at their logistics center by optimizing on-site solar expansion and battery storage. The project addressed a critical challenge: enabling EV truck charging within tight 1-2 hour dispatch schedules without the costly grid capacity expansion typically required for such high-power DC charging infrastructure. By leveraging Xendee’s platform, SolarEdge modeled the integration of additional solar PV and three Helios batteries to buffer energy for EV charging.

Through advanced tools like satellite-based asset placement and time-series optimization, Xendee enabled SolarEdge to size the required solar and storage systems, develop an efficient battery dispatch schedule, and identify additional revenue streams like demand charge reduction. This solution avoided grid expansion costs while delivering operational savings, a faster ROI, and improved financial metrics such as IRR and NPV. The project highlights how innovative energy solutions can meet the growing demand for EV fleet infrastructure while maintaining economic and operational efficiency.

Mayfield Renewables - Improving Time to Close

Mayfield Renewables has integrated Xendee into their microgrid consulting business to rapidly grow the size and capabilities of their energy services branch.

The use of Xendee has led to faster engineering times on feasibility studies and has greatly increased the speed of Mayfield's consulting business. So far, their team has produced over 30+ reports, leading to more revenue and more capabilities without overburdening the team or increasing staffing.

Once we had Xendee, it cut down the effort of putting all the technical pieces together, and allowed us to quickly see the power different technologies would provide to a system." "Using Xendee reduced our time and effort by over two thirds, and allowed us to offer a new "rapid response” analysis product to our clients. This in turn has allowed us to engage clients quicker, and have them more likely to come back and re-engage us.
