Intelligent power management company Eaton announced it is collaborating with Xendee on a design and operation platform for distributed energy and microgrid systems.
The partnership couples Eaton microgrid hardware and engineering service capabilities with Xendee’s AI-powered Model Predictive Control software, which continually evaluates and optimizes microgrid systems with AI forecasted alternatives.
Xendee’s solution is hardware-agnostic, allowing DER operators to manage over 27 different types of technologies, including solar, battery energy storage systems, nuclear, linear generators and combined heat and power. The solution will unlock real-time operational adjustments for microgrid systems that help lead to significant cost savings, enhanced resilience, reduced emissions and extended equipment lifespans.
“Together with Xendee, we’re unlocking new ways to help customers maximize the functionality and value of their microgrid investments across North America and Europe,” said Angie McMillin, president of Energy Solutions and Services at Eaton. “We’re confident that uniting Eaton’s proven microgrid expertise, intelligent power management solutions and services with Xendee’s advanced digital optimization technology will better position microgrid operators to seize the opportunities created by the energy transition.”
