Organization Overview

Sustainable Power Systems develops microgrid control technologies to combine and control multiple types of power and storage (e.g., wind, solar and diesel) for island, village and grid-tied distributed energy.  We strongly believe that widespread deployment of distributed renewable generation is an essential component to any effective sustainability strategy and that microgrids are the key enabling technology that make such deployment possible.

Sustainable Power Systems (SPS) delivers a Universal Microgrid Controller® that combines and controls all forms of power including, but not limited to: wind, solar, micro-hydro, batteries, diesel generation, and grid electricity. The Universal Microgrid Controller® is a standardized hardware and software platform that reduces the cost and complexity of microgrid deployment and operations.  Project developers and EPCs benefit by having a microgrid control platform that is quick to install and maintains a consistent look and feel over a wide range of microgrid applications.  Our microgrid controller's sophisticated dispatch algorithms optimize operation so as to minimize the lifecycle cost of energy and reduce the environmental impact associated with energy production.

SPS specializes in high renewable energy penetration microgrids in the 100 kW to 10 MW size range, ideal for remote off-grid communities such as islands and villages, as well as grid-tied commercial and industrial sites. Both on and off-grid, our microgrid controls address the worldwide trend toward distributed electricity production to provide community resiliency,  grid stability, energy cost reduction, and environmental sustainability.

SPS seeks to form strategic partnerships with project developers, EPCs, and key component suppliers (e.g. battery system manufacturers.  This can include licensing our technology to companies active in in various geographic regions and market sectors.  Please contact us to explore the possibilities!
