Renewable Energy Nanogrids for Remote Operations Resilience
Nanogrid
Harnyss Oasis renewable energy nanogrids are an innovative solution that offers significant value for remote operations, such as field hospitals, forward operating bases, and agricultural operations. These nanogrids rely on compact renewable energy sources, including solar and micro-wind turbine systems, to generate electricity that is stored in self-contained Harnyss Oasis modular systems. The estimated levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of between $0.08 and $0.20 per kW of a 1 MW module, for the estimated 20-year useful life of the Harnyss Oasis system, provides owners with a fixed low cost per kW of power generation and eliminates the need to pay for transmission fees on monthly bills.
One of the most significant benefits of renewable energy nanogrids is their ability to operate independently of traditional power grids. This is especially important for remote operations that may not have access to reliable electricity sources. By generating their own electricity, these operations can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and decrease their carbon footprint. The Harnyss Oasis modular components have a useful life of over 20 years, spreading the capital costs over a longer period, and providing low operating costs over the life of the system.
Renewable energy nanogrids also offer cost savings over traditional power sources. While the initial investment in nanogrid technology may be higher, the ongoing costs are significantly lower due to the free and abundant nature of renewable energy sources. This is especially important for remote operations, which may have limited budgets and resources. The LCOE of the Harnyss Oasis system is lower than grid-provided power, making renewable energy nanogrids a more cost-effective option over time.
In addition to cost savings, renewable energy nanogrids offer increased resilience and reliability. Traditional power grids are vulnerable to disruption from severe weather events, cyber-attacks, and other threats. Renewable energy nanogrids, on the other hand, are less susceptible to these threats and can continue to operate even when traditional power sources are unavailable.
For field hospitals and other medical operations, renewable energy nanogrids can be lifesaving. In emergency situations, access to reliable electricity is critical for powering medical equipment and ensuring that patients receive the care they need. Renewable energy nanogrids can provide this electricity, even in the most remote and challenging environments.
Agricultural operations benefit from renewable energy nanogrids by generating their own electricity. These operations can reduce their reliance on traditional power sources and decrease their carbon footprint. This is particularly important for sustainable and organic farming operations that prioritize environmental stewardship.
In conclusion, the Harnyss Oasis modular nanogrids provide a compelling option for any operation that values sustainability, cost savings, and energy independence. The estimated LCOE of between $0.08 and $0.20 per kW of a 1 MW module, for the estimated 20-year useful life of the Harnyss Oasis system, offers a fixed low cost per kW of power generation, eliminating transmission fees on monthly bills. With the ability to generate their own electricity using renewable energy sources, remote operations can reduce their reliance on traditional power grids, decrease their carbon footprint, and increase their resilience and reliability.
