How It Works: Continuous Parallel vs. Island Mode

The BSD SSC Microgrid is not just a backup generator; it is a sophisticated, on-site power plant with heat recovery capabilities.

• Continuous Parallel Operation: Under normal conditions, the system operates alongside the main utility grid, helping to manage peak demand, reduce utility costs, and improve regional grid stability.

• Seamless Island Mode: During a power outage, the microgrid automatically disconnects from the utility and switches to “Island Mode,” operating independently to serve as a self-sufficient energy hub.

Engineered for Extreme Reliability

Designed in partnership with 2G Energy Inc. and Hydria, the BSD SSC Microgrid is built to exceed the toughest regulatory and environmental standards:

• 96-Hour Fuel Autonomy: Equipped with high-pressure Type IV composite storage tanks, the system can sustain a facility for at least four days without any external fuel delivery, helping healthcare facilities comply with California AB-2511.

• Hydrogen-Proven Technology: Our units are future-ready, capable of running on various fuel sources, including hydrogen (up to 40% with no derate), natural gas, biogas, and propane.

• Tested for Disaster: Every unit is seismically certified by California’s HCAI (formerly OSHPD) and rated to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 150 mph.

Why It Matters for Your Facility

Beyond meeting legal mandates for skilled nursing and hospital environments, our microgrid offers long-term financial benefits. By utilizing thermal energy recovery to provide hot water or steam, the system significantly enhances overall energy efficiency and delivers a clear return on investment.
