The Eguana Edge™, a key element of the Eguana Cloud platform, is a utility feeder load balancer that provides Distribution System Operators (DSO’s) with a fleet of energy storage assets, which are managed in real time, to stabilize feeder loading and voltage quality. The Eguana Edge™ presents this fleet as a single asset for DERMS integration, to deliver system level ancillary services, including demand response, frequency regulation, and spinning reserve. Eguana is currently demonstrating Eguana Edge™, with utilities in Canada and the USA, on distressed feeder lines that require end-of-line voltage support or have a high penetration of solar.
"North American utility interest in the Eguana Edge™ is moving rapidly and we are excited to demonstrate its capabilities and savings to DSO's and utilities, as our rollouts expand," commented Brent Harris, Chief Operating Officer at Eguana. "We designed Eguana Edge™ in collaboration with several key utility partners, to deliver feeder balancing services on distribution grids, especially in rural areas where feeders experience the most stress and are also the most expensive to upgrade, with traditional infrastructure solutions. We look forward to promoting this product more broadly with utility leaders throughout the year, as we add more partners to our early deployment program."
Eguana Edge™ consists of a fleet of Eguana's industry leading energy storage solution products, combined with Eguana's fleet management software and operations and maintenance services. Eguana Edge™ can be deployed as a customer owned fleet, however, it delivers the highest value when deployed as a utility owned asset, offering resiliency to their customers, in exchange for hosting and accessing the systems.
