Peel Ports, a significant maritime hub located in Liverpool, was contending with a series of challenges, primarily centered around Compliance & Regulation. The data indicates that issues related to Market Interface and Flexibility were also contributing to their high-level operational problems, suggesting a need for more integrated and adaptable solutions within their energy infrastructure

J Marr (Seafoods), a prominent player in the seafood industry, was grappling with the challenge of escalating energy costs. This directly impacted their operational expenses and overall profitability. Furthermore, the company faced significant exposure to the volatility of energy prices, which made effective budgeting and long-term financial planning difficult.

The HMP Millsike project in Yorkshire saw the deployment of 608 kW of solar PV capacity distributed across six separate locations within the prison estate, commissioned for client Kier. A principal challenge was maintaining stringent compliance with regulatory standards whilst solving the complexity stemming from the dispersed solar PV units requiring intricate HV monitoring and a fiber optic network for real-time power level compliance, all while adhering to strict cybersecurity and access protocols.

Keele University, a large educational establishment based north of Birmingham, has developed a Micro Grid for their campus (called SEND) that they are using to better balance the generation of wind & solar with their demand via energy storage. Installing wind, solar & energy storage meant that they needed to implement a G100 solution as the total generation / storage power were greater than their allowable export limit.

The "Netley Solar G99 & SWANS" project, located in Hampshire, involves a 2,400 kWac Solar PV asset for Fuse Energy. It addresses key client challenges such as compliance and market interface requirements by implementing our Power Plant Controller and G100 Export Limitation solutions. As such, the project utilises Argand's GridGEM and GridLENZ products, offering client benefits including project connection enablement, real-time data access, and regulatory compliance.

GridGEM was chosen by Solar Sense UK to provide the solution to enable a complex solar installation to take place on an industrial client site with inverters in multiple locations, multiple HV incomers and large distances physically between assets.

Plymouth Energy Community, a community energy organisation based in south west UK, has over 30 sites where they are providing power purchase agreements (PPA) for solar energy installed on the roofs of schools & community buildings.

GridGEM was chosen by Black Dog Biogas to provide the solution to the complex set of problems associated with connecting their biogas electricity generating units to the Vestas wind turbine manufacturing site in the Isle of Wight in the UK.

The project had issues of parallel supply, active network management (ANM) & export limitation (G100 in the UK.)

GridGEM was chosen by Sungift Energy as their chosen solution to enable the connection of their 240 kWp solar PV system at BREAN Leisure Park. GridGEM was chosen because it made the complex connection problem simple to overcome.

GridGEM was chosen by a Scottish client to provide an export limitation solution that embedded load management prior to reducing the output of the turbine.

GridGEM was chosen by Clean Earth Energy to provide the realtime and dynamic client side ANM interface between their 2.5 MW Vensys wind turbine and Scottish Power, the DNO.

Royal Mint, the UK-based provider of currency, needed a trusted solution to manage the provision of electricity from an 850 kW wind turbine on a private wire to their site which was subject to an export constraint

DPD require zero export limitation solution – Argand Solutions worked closely with a renewable energy EPC provider to supply DPD (www.dpd.co.uk) with an integrated 450kWp solar PV zero export limitation solution at their head office in Hinckley Birmingham to help reduce costs at their large distribution centre.

GridGEM was chosen as the control solution to enable the co-location of 2.5MW of solar PV with an existing 6MW wind farm to ensure that the combined power did not break the existing 6MW connection & export limit.

GridGEM was chosen as the control solution to enable a 500kW wind turbine to supply electricity to Imerys’s clay mining site via a private wire in Cornwall. The project was complex due to a combination of export constraints across multiple HV connection points & the need for a dynamic changeover between different connection points.

GridGEM was chosen by Syzygy Renewables as the control solution to enable a 2.5MW solar PV system to be installed at Southend Airport. The project was complex due to a combination of export constraints across multiple HV connection points & the need to solve the problem of communicating with the inverters across a runway!

Blue Sea Foods, a Devon-based sea food manufacturing business, engaged Argand Solutions to utilise GridLENZ to enable automated HTML / web reporting & analytics for their food manufacturing business

Prior to engaging Argand Solutions, the client, Bee Green Solar, had previously installed a 6MWp ground mount solar PV site in south west England. The site had been installed without suitable monitoring & / or performance analytics and, as such, there was no visibility on weather-adjusted returns and / or real-time O&M issues. The client engaged Argand to solve this problem.

Client enables wind turbine on constrained Grid – Argand Solutions provided the client with a GridGEM™ export limitation solution that managed the output of a Northern Power 100kW wind turbine to enable the client to connect

Burgh Island Hotel Solar PV Enabling Solution – Argand Solutions worked closely with renewable energy provider SunGift Solar to provide Burgh Island Hotel, with a 50kWp solar PV system that they would otherwise not have been allowed.

Avanta, a serviced office business now owned by Regus, achieved BREEAM excellent through their introduction of equipment-specific energy monitoring at their Eagle House development in Shoreditch, London
