Xendee's research based approach to microgrid design relies on advanced software and multi-year algorithms to optimize investment strategies and operation.
Xendee is used by the DoD for energy projects at facilities, airports, and other critical infrastructure. Xendee is available through the GIS catalog and is CMMC certified.
By leveraging Xendee's advanced energy modeling, NEOM integrates solar panels, battery systems, and innovative technologies like hydrogen to achieve maximum DER coverage and meet their clean energy goals. Xendee primarily models "The Line'' which is a 170-kilometer landscape of extraordinary diversity. Using Xendee's tool, NEOM could map out each of the 7 different regions inside, and position DERs uniquely within each one. Additional facilities that Xendee is currently working on include Sindalah, Land of the Line (LOTL), Gulf of Aqaba (GoA), and Oxagon.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) needed to develop a standardized method to guide rapid and repeatable modeling and design of secure and resilient DoD microgrids globally. This would provide enhanced energy reliability and enable DoD installations to safely ride-out prolonged utility power outages and sustain mission critical operations, using renewable energy resources and storage in an integrated microgrid system.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), through its Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), has identified microgrids as a key technology for increasing security, energy efficiency and resilience at new and existing military installations. The advantages are clear. Microgrids can reduce the energy and physical footprint of military installations. This in turn reduces the reliance on and impact to local communities while improving the likelihood of uninterrupted power despite disruptions on local utility networks.
PNNL turned to Xendee to enable this complex hydropower system analysis and research. Xendee provided PNNL with both the necessary tools and research support to analyze and optimize DoD microgrid projects, and to evaluate the potential for new hydropower projects.
Xendee modeled seven different renewable technologies on each site and chose the optimal technology size and mix. Each technology was modeled with its own incentive schemes (a mix of tax rebates & accelerated depreciation), and the overall project considered a year-over-year increase in carbon tax for 15 years. Xendee considered net metering, subject to the local constraints, i.e., limiting exports to no more than purchases.
Xendee identified a combination of solar and wind to complement the existing gas generation and reduce the carbon footprint by over 60%. The fast analysis allowed them to progress the design of the facility with their customer from a more educated and data-driven position. The facility took the Final Investment Decision and moved forward in 2023 to build a lower-carbon energy solution, thanks to the client's initial quick analysis.
Xendee worked with Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) to develop a microgrid implementation toolkit for airports. The Toolkit provided guidance and implementation strategies to improve airport energy resilience and to develop microgrid projects with a focus on helping an airport in early stage Microgrid planning. The toolkit was tested and validated by airport personnel and emergency preparedness personnel from across the country.
The Santa Rosa Junior College campus microgrid is currently reliant on electrical power from the PG&E grid, which uses approximately 15% fossil-derived energy sources, whereas the proposed Microgrid would supply approximately 29% of the campus total electricity demand with 100% emissions-free PV solar energy. Further, recommendations have also been made regarding how utilities and community colleges can apply the approaches outlined to overcome identified roadblocks to streamline the Microgrid design process.
Xendee Corporation partnered with Idaho National Laboratory to develop an optimized platform for designing Microgrid Fast Charging Stations (MFCS) quickly and effectively. This project was funded by the DOE Office of Electricity, Microgrid Program. The platform was developed alongside a detailed analysis of two test sites which acts as seed locations for fast-charging facilities across the United States.
Instantly add bandwidth to your engineering team by leveraging our modeling experts and software to handle financial feasibility studies and detailed microgrid designs for major projects including hospitals, housing communities, office complexes, EV charging stations, and more.
Xendee can analyze site portfolios at scale to identify ideal projects for microgrid development. This lets data drive your investment decisions by focusing on locations where demand charges or high utility rates are crushing profitability. This also means deprioritizing sites where needs can already be met efficiently through the utility.
Xendee's research based software currently supports 25 different technologies including solar PV, batteries, generators, and charging stations as well as advanced technologies like hydrogen electrolysis, hydrokinetic generators, geothermal assets, and even small modular reactors. When modeling new technologies, Xendee can augment your team by preparing multiple optimizations for technologies which are outside of your core use cases.
