REDUCES HOME & SMALL BUSINESS NEED OF GRID POWER BY 50% TO 100%

MICRO-GRIDS
The national and state electricity grids, are a system of poles and wires used to transmit and distribute electricity generated from coal or gas power stations, hydroelectric, wind farms, solar and other generating sources around the country, to the end user.
A microgrid is a similar system that works within the confines of the home, business or industry distributing electricity generated from various sources within the home or business. These sources can include electricity from the grid, from solar panels, small wind turbines, small generators and energy storage units. These sources are managed by a sophisticated controller which selects the lowest cost electricity at any given point in time, switching between them to optimize keeping the electricity bill down.
It is possible using the Global NRG Economizer microgrid and our small gas generator to be able to completely remove the home or business from the electricity grid, not only cutting the cost of electricity needed to power the home or business, but also reducing taxes and avoiding the power supply charge levied by the electricity retailers. When the home is removed from the main grid it is unlikely ever to again suffer a power blackout or power outage.
How
the NRG Economizer Microgrid system works
The principle behind the NRG Economizer microgrid is quite simple.
Off-peak electricity or electricity generated by solar panels during the day or a micro wind turbine is stored in an ESU (Energy Storage Unit made up of a battery pack) so that it can be used at a later time when it is needed such as the evening, thereby avoiding the cost of using peak rate electricity from the grid. The savings from using this stored energy can be very substantial against using peak power.
By adding a small biogas generator it becomes unnecessary to even take any power from the grid at all, and the home can be completely removed from the grid, saving taxes and supply charges and reducing the annual electricity bill to a mere few hundred dollars.
The
heart of the patented Global NRG Economizer system is its patented
GREEN STORAGE UNIT capable of holding up to 40 KWh of stored
energy. This unit is a completely new technology involving silicone, and
is able to store enough electricity to fully power the home if necessary
all day.
1. The electricity generated by the solar panels,
micro wind turbines, gas generator or off-peak electricity is stored in the ESU
so that it can be used at any time later.
2. When the ESU is fully charged or above 70%, the controller unit will
direct the power supply for the home or business to be drawn from the
ESU.
3. When 35% of the energy stored in the ESU has been consumed the
controller will automatically switch the power supply to either the grid or if installed the biogas generator. This prolongs the life of
the ESU, which will last up to 11 years depending on the settings.
Normally a microgrid will pay for itself within 2 to 2.5 years. The
annual ROI after paying down the microgrid storage cost is generally 25.5% to
38% per annum. If a micro biogas generator is installed the ROI will be
upn to 92%
An NRG Economizer microgrid silicone battery storage pack capable of storing 10KWh of electricity
starts at US$2,500 fully installed.
3. If solar panels or a small wind generator are installed and they are
generating sufficient electricity, the home or small business will draw
its power supply from this source via the ESU. If neither solar panels
or a small wind generator is installed in the microgrid, then the ESU
will be recharged from the grid using off-peak power, which because it
sells at half price, will cut the electricity bill be 50% or if a fuel
cell or biogas generator is used to recharge the ESU the cost of
electricity will drop to on average 7cents/KWh.
5. As long as there is sufficient power in the ESU i.e. above 70% of its
charge, the microgrid controller will always select to use the power
supply from the ESU ensuring that the cheapest electricity is being
consumed.
