Power and Utilities Energy Solutions

Utilities are looking for an energy solutions partner who understands the demands and challenges they face. The need for reliable continuous power makes them crucial to their communities, but rising power demand and a constantly shifting energy landscape make it difficult to plan for the future.

Cat Electric Power can provide bridge power as you work to upgrade your infrastructure. We can also create a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) by installing and dispatching new or existing assets or help you design and implement Resiliency as a Service (RaaS) programs.

 


More than any other industry…UTILITIES FACE THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IN ADDRESSING THE EVOLVING ENERGY LANDSCAPE…While power consumption is projected to triple by 2050, utilities have also been tasked with reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

How we’ve helped customers succeed

Grid Codes

Grid Code Compliance

At Caterpillar we support grid code requirements by conducting robust and extensive tests on our genset and inverter products to confirm that they are fully compliant with the main grid codes worldwide.

Grid codes are important because they establish technical and operational standards for power generating assets that connect to an electricity grid.

What is a grid code?

A grid code is a set of requirements for power generating units and facilities defined by the Transmission System Operator (TSO) or Distribution System Operator (DSO) responsible for maintaining the reliable and secure operation of the electricity grid.

Grid codes must be fulfilled for power generating assets to gain permission for connecting to the electricity grid.

Why do grid codes matter?

Grid codes have been developed to regulate the capabilities, operation, performance and compliance of power generating units connecting to the grid.

They confirm the reliability of these assets to automatically respond to stabilize the grid during voltage and frequency changes while remaining connected to the grid to provide support when faults occur.

Grid code compliance is a basic requirement for any power generating unit or facility to connect to the grid for continuous operation.

How does offering equipment compliant with grid codes benefit customers?

When customers buy grid code compliant and certified equipment, they can be more confident that their grid connection will be approved by the TSO or DSO. This means they won't have to deal with long delays for clarifications and, where possible, avoid costly site compliance testing.
