Energy Toolbase Expands Grid Services in the Northeast

Energy Toolbase, a leader in energy software solutions, has taken significant strides in enhancing grid services modeling and deployment across the Northeast. Recently, they implemented ConnectedSolutions and the Clean Peak Standard (CPS) for commercial and industrial (CI) developers, facilitating a seamless process to model revenues and utility bill savings. This enhancement leverages their ETB Developer software along with the energy storage control system, ETB Controller, to optimize performance and value streams.

The introduction of ConnectedSolutions and CPS positions Energy Toolbase as a pioneer in the field, combining sophisticated grid services modeling with utility savings analysis in a user-friendly interface. This integrated solution simplifies the complexities often associated with energy project deployment, allowing users to effectively enroll, participate, and verify program savings.

ConnectedSolutions: A Supportive Step for CI Customers

The ConnectedSolutions program is specifically designed to assist CI customers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island by lessening peak demand during the sweltering summer months. Users benefit from an automated service through ETB Controller, which provides day-ahead notifications to prepare their energy storage systems for demand response events. Energy Toolbase has efficiently managed this initiative across numerous sites, delivering substantial financial savings over multiple seasons.

Maximizing Renewable Energy with Clean Peak Standard

On the other hand, the Clean Peak Standard program in Massachusetts incentivizes renewable energy generation during periods of high demand. Participants can earn Clean Peak Energy Credits (CPECs) for producing renewable energy during these critical hours, with the unique opportunity to gain up to 25 times the value for energy generated during peak periods. For every megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable energy produced, one CPEC is awarded, thereby enhancing the economic viability of renewable energy projects significantly. This value proposition represents a major leap toward encouraging sustainable energy practices.

Enhanced Performance with ETB Developer and Acumen AI

Leveraging the capabilities of ETB Developer, users can accurately forecast savings, incentives, and credit generation before project deployment. Once projects are operational, ETB Controller ensures optimal performance by managing energy dispatch during scheduled events and maximizing credit generation. With the incorporation of Acumen AI, the participation in demand response programs, utility savings, and CPEC generation is co-optimized to achieve the best economic outcomes possible.

Nathan Gutzmann, Product Manager of ETB Controller at Energy Toolbase, shares insights on their commitment: "Energy Toolbase is dedicated to equipping our users with the best tools to optimize complex CI solar and energy storage projects. Adding ConnectedSolutions and Clean Peak Standard to our platform is another way we can deliver innovative solutions that will enhance project economics and unlock new revenue opportunities for our customers in the Northeast region."
