Features just some of the companies and technologies attendees will see at this year’s show.
Microgrid-enabled switchgear
Hive is designed and engineered to provide facilities with critical energy reliability and resiliency when experiencing disturbances from the electric grid. By integrating all the control functionality up front and bringing all distributed energy resources (DERs) into
a central connection point, Hive simpli es the design, engineering, installation, and commissioning for
low- and medium-voltage microgrid systems. With Go Electric’s patented microgrid controller, AutoLYNC, embedded in the switchgear, Hive incorporates a wide range of DERs, such as solar, wind, energy storage,
and gensets. Making decisions by the millisecond, AutoLYNC ensures safe power delivery from any generation asset when isolated from the distribution grid. It monitors energy production in real time to constantly balance generation and load, responding instantly to intermittent uctuations in solar or wind energy output. AutoLYNC senses each resource type and sets resource function based on customer priorities, including nancial and energy security considerations.

Single and three-phase energy storage inverter
Sinexcel Inc. provides semi-integrated micro-grid and energy storage systems, based on its own ETL/ CPUC/HECO listed modular storage inverter and solar-battery hybrid inverter from 30 to 500kw, and is compatible with various EMS and battery
DC-DC converters for solar plus storage
Dynapower o ers a full-suite of UL-listed DC-DC converters speci cally designed to optimize utility- scale solar plus storage installations for maximum energy production. DPS DC-DC converters are o ered in 250kW, 375kW, and 500kW ratings. Up
to eight units can be paralleled to create building blocks from 250kW to 4MW. DPS units are designed for interfacing battery energy storage with new and existing 1000V and 1500V central inverter-based PV power plants. Dynapower DPS units work with all central inverters, and are capable of operating in voltage, current, and power control modes with the capability of on-the- y switching between modes. Additionally, advanced automatic excess PV energy recapture and time-shift of PV energy can be realized using the DPS in solar-plus-storage installations. Dynapower supplies both standalone DPS units or DPS units as part of fully-integrated energy storage systems in 2, 4, and 6 hour con gurations.

Battery performance scorecard
Bringing down the cost of DC-coupled solar + storage Alencon Systems LLC’s Bi-Directional Optimizer for Storage Systems, the BOSS, controls the charge and discharge of individual battery racks in both DC and AC coupled deployments and supports the integration of energy storage with 600V, 1000V, or 1500V PV strings. e BOSS features Alencon’s Galvanically Isolated DC-DC conversion topology and is a rack level DC-DC converter so
it assures optimal utilization of each battery rack in the cabinet. e BOSS also makes it easy to deploy DC-coupled Solar + Storage projects with string inverters. Available in two form factors; a 19-inch rack mounted unit which can be installed and integrated into a battery cabinet, and an outdoor rated, rail or wall mounted form factor which can be installed either inside or outside a battery cabinet, BOSS units also feature mechanical packaging with forced air cooling.
