Renewable Energy Lobbyists: Clean Sustainable Green Power & Climate Change Government Incentives

Power Systems

No matter what your business, the power system of the future will enable you to control your own energy destiny with greater reliability, security and efficiency. Key components are already available and new technologies are being introduced on a continual basis. Liebman & Associates (L&A) can help you develop the right partnerships with government and industry to capitalize on the resources and technologies available for your business - right now.

The electric power system is vulnerable and inefficient, with electricity carried over long transmission lines from centralized generating plants. Distributed energy resources (DER) generate power where it is used. Many distributed generation (DG) technologies, such as turbines, microturbines, reciprocating engines and fuel cells, create heat that can be captured as useable energy for water heating, cooling and other purposes with thermal energy technologies. This approach, known as cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP), can produce fuel efficiencies of up to 70% compared to 33% efficient centralized power plants. District energy systems provide thermal energy in various forms, including steam, hot and chilled water to multiple buildings via underground piping networks. Energy storage can augment the electric grid and on-site DG systems with back-up power, when the grid is unavailable or at strategic times to reduce demand and costs. Microgrids combine many different DER technologies with bulk power from the electric grid to create high availability power systems. Through power electronics, direct current (DC) power applications leverage the inherent nature of loads such as microprocessors and lighting, and sources such as photovoltaics, fuel cells and batteries, for fewer losses and higher reliability.

Energy-intensive industries can leverage these technologies to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Utilities can integrate DER to reduce peak load demand at a distribution feeder, which can eliminate or defer the need for new transmission and distribution capacity and reduce congestion. All companies can benefit from the greater reliability and security afforded by these technologies. Ask L&A to show you how.
