Microgrids can provide flexibility and resiliency above and beyond the current electric grid. The hurdle has always been on how to most effectively aggregate and operate the necessary energy resources in a cost-effective and reliable manner. The Heila Edge control and optimization solution provides the unparalleled automation and modularity needed to reduce system complexity and cost dramatically, while increasing reliability. Combining advances in edge computing technology, game theory principles, and optimization algorithms, the Heila Edge empowers project developers, operators, and utilities to integrate, commission, aggregate and operate even the most complex group of distributed energy resources.
