Virtual Power Plants Local Power Inc. offers a complete retrofit of your city's power supply — from as little as supplementing power for short outages to providing 100% renewable energy networks using customer-owned Smart Grid technologies. Installing intelligence into power use on the customer side of the meter is a critical part of our solution - to offer all customers ownership of their power system. The green power revolution is not just about greening power supply. Intelligence means enhanced control of energy demand. The automation of power demand, advanced power storage is a critical opportunity to accommodate the intermittency of renewable resources like the sun and wind, eliminating the need for backup fossil generation. A Smart Grid means less need for the Old Grid; and demand technologies are cheaper than coal-fired power today. "Virtual power plants" make nuclear power plants obsolete. Local, on-site power generation, like cogeneration, solar photovoltaics and fuel cells, avoids transmission system losses. Peak power demand can be reduced through intelligent on-site controls, while Microgrids can integrate local resources to meet grid reliability needs. Coordinating the distributed assets of the smart grid into a Virtual Power Plant will create a level playing field for intermittent renewables and render obsolete the conventional power plant. LPI has designed such localizations for several U.S. counties and municipalities. Contact us to learn more about what may be in store for your city's grid upgrade using Local Power.
