Learn more about GEMS IntelliBidder in our work with RWE Renewables
GEMS IntelliBidder enables Hickory Park Solar to provide Georgia Power a day-ahead firming solar-plus-storage profile.
During our commissioning tests, several load rejections were tested, including loss of wind, loss of engines and loss of demand, and in every circumstance, GEMS instantaneously tracked and maintained the quality of the generation avoiding the load shedding of the grid. This is just one example of how this project will improve operations through automation while helping the island avoid blackouts, achieve greater efficiencies and use more wind power.”
