Energy as a Service

As your long-term EaaS partner, AlphaStruxure designs, builds, owns, operates, and maintains your tailored, on-site energy infrastructure.

The Energy as a Service advantage

Deploys custom-designed, on-site energy infrastructure — such as a microgrid — without the need for up-front capital investment.

Unburdens organizations from designing, financing, owning, installing, and managing their own energy infrastructure so they can focus on core business needs.

Helps businesses achieve long-term outcomes around resilience, reliability, greenhouse gas reduction, and cost-stability simply, efficiently, and with price certainty guaranteed.

Microgrids

Local energy systems with sources of generation, storage, and advanced automation and control. These are able to function independently from the grid, delivering:

Microgrids are designed and built based on each organization’s specific needs, and include some of the following state-of-the-art components:

Solar Photovoltaic
Zero-emission electricity generation technology to improve site sustainability with configuration options including roof, canopy, and ground
Battery Energy Storage
Electrochemical device that balances electrical demand, improves power quality, and supports optimal grid utilization and resilience
Baseload Generation
Dispatchable electricity generation with several technology options, from fuel cells to reciprocating engines and turbines
Combined Heat and Power
Baseload generation with waste heat recovery for electrical and thermal generation to improve site efficiency and sustainability
Wind Turbines
Zero-emission electricity generation technology to improve site sustainability. Utilization is highly location and demand dependent

Energy Control Center
Industry-leading Schneider Electric microgrid controller device that integrates electrical distribution equipment and controls, and balances electricity supply and demand

Electrical Infrastructure Equipment
Combination of Schneider Electric switchgear, transformer, smart metering, and relaying to form the microgrid’s backbone

Electric Vehicle Charging
EV-charging solutions for various fleet types, including plug-in, pantograph, and inductive wireless charging for economic and sustainability savings

Fuel Cell Vehicle Fueling
Full on-site and off-site turn-key solutions for green hydrogen fueling, production, and other ancillary systems to support growing diverse fleets

Biomass Boiler
Thermal energy with net-zero carbon fuel to improve sustainability through reduced CO2 emissions. Fuel composition is highly dependent on area and biomass availability

Electric Boiler
Thermal energy electrification where sustainability improvements and operational costs are highly dependent on source of electricity

Heat Pumps
Thermal energy electrification that can utilize air source, water source, or geothermal heat pumps to maximize efficiency and sustainability savings

Thermal Energy Storage
Typically a water-based system that balances thermal demand and production, improves heating and cooling resilience, and supports overall optimization of the microgrid

Renewable Natural Gas
Fuel replacement for fossil-based natural gas that is generated from biogenic sources including landfills and wastewater treatment systems to cattle and swine farms

Green Hydrogen
Hydrogen fuel that can be produced on-site or off-site with renewable energy and an electrolyzer, or sourced and delivered via truck

Integrate Digital Platform
The digital backbone for AlphaStruxure’s best-in-class connection of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxureTM operational technology (OT) and the latest information technology (IT) for microgrids to unlock trapped value in operations and leverage data trends and analytics

Connected Devices
Embedded intelligence in EcoStruxure devices that enable communication with edge controls and form the basis of smarter operations

Edge Controls
Integrate enables EcoStruxure Microgrid Operations (control) to integrate connected devices and cloud-based OT and IT services. For mission-critical systems, the edge controls enable local autonomous operations as a failsafe.

Apps, Analytics, and Services
Integrate enables a broad use of agnostic applications, predictive analytics, and information services across the entire stack of edge controls and connected devices for microgrid sites, turning mounds of data into useful information.

What zero CapEx means for your business

A zero-CapEx financing model allows organizations to preserve capital and resources for core business activities while achieving long-term outcomes through:

The digital platform behind smarter microgrids

Behind every AlphaStruxure microgrid is the Integrate digital platform and network operations center. Integrate monitors and optimizes your tailored energy infrastructure to deliver long-term outcomes— freeing you up to focus on other business needs.

Integrate puts the power of data science, predictive analytics, and repeatable processes to work, so you can gain reliable, real-time visibility into key performance metrics for your on-site energy infrastructure.
