Education: Schools, Universities, Colleges, and Campuses

Building our future is critical, especially for those continuously researching, innovating, and shaping the next big thing. For you, downtime isn’t an option. Powering education facilities requires taking sustainability, economic, and technological factors into consideration. That sounds like a complex mix, but it doesn’t have to be. By taking advantage of Caterpillar’s expertise, experience, and quality, you can take control of your power options, building power systems that are resilient and reliable.

When the utility grid goes out, light-bulb moments don’t have to. Make sure you have constant power and peace of mind with Cat® Electric Power.

Your Energy Options

of

Combined heat and power (CHP) systems are a popular choice for education facilities. Why? Because they reduce energy waste, lower overall energy costs, and provide independence from the grid.

If you have existing equipment on your site or plan to install new power assets, you can deploy Cat AMP, our DERMS offering. Cat AMP works with power assets to leverage them when electricity prices soar, lowering overall energy costs. It can also help generate additional revenue for your facility through participating in energy market programs.

Natural gas gensets help you meet emissions goals, producing less NOx, sulphur dioxide, and CO2 than diesel power. They also deliver savings and potential income. Their higher efficiency reduces fuel expenses and total cost of ownership, peak shaving lowers utility rate costs, and participating in capacity markets can bring in additional revenue.

Benefits

Understanding Your Energy Consumption

When you know more about your energy use, you make better decisions. Cat AMP is a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) that monitors your energy use at your facilities and energy segment conditions. Integrated with your power generation assets, it allows you to understand your real-time energy usage. It also accurately predicts opportunities to lower costs.

Ease of Use

Cat AMP gives you one user-friendly interface with one-click navigation that helps you understand and optimize your power use.

Avoid Peak Costs and Add Revenue

What if you could lower your energy costs automatically? Cat AMP not only monitors energy markets, it automatically dispatches power from your local energy assets – such as gensets, renewables, energy storage, and microgrids – when grid costs are at their peak. You can also use Cat AMP to participate in demand response programs, giving you an additional source of revenue.
 


How Much Can You Save?

By using on-site power assets when grid costs are high, Cat AMP saves customers an average of 20-30%* on their energy costs.

* Savings may vary depending on operating conditions, energy rates, and other factors. See your Cat dealer for further details.
