<h3><span style="color: #ca0109;">DERMS for Municipalities</span><span style="color: #ca0109; font-size: 45px;"></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #575757;"><span style="color: #000000;">Municipal utilities tend to have shorter, more congested systems that can become overloaded by increased load and DER adoption. Furthermore, often times system cannot easily be upgraded due to undergrounding or limited space and Non-Wires Alternatives (NWA) must be considered.&nbsp;</span><br></span><span style="color: #575757;"><span style="color: #000000;"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #575757;"><span style="color: #000000;">Luckily, there's a solution: DERMs. DERMs, or Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems, offer the solution to help municipalities visualize, optimize, and control DERs. Strata Grid can also be integrated to other systems like the EMS of the G&amp;T to offer better coordination between transmission and distribution&nbsp;</span><br></span><em></em></p>

We deploy a complete suite of engineering services to address the unique needs associated with Air Insulated Switchgear design.

<h2>Mitsubishi Electric deploys a complete suite of engineering services to address the unique needs associated with Air Insulated Switchgear design.</h2>
<p>In today&rsquo;s power utility, AIS design revolves around four thematic concepts:</p>
<ul>
<li>SITE ANALYSIS &ndash; Expansion of AIS substations, where real estate is finite. Applying our talented and multiple disciplines to fully evaluating existing or projected build site</li>
<li>COMPLEX PROBLEM SOLVING &ndash; Power demand shifts in the rural and suburban environments often result in a project where multiple AIS substations must be reconfigured. Mitsubishi Electric is able to take on this complexity and execute a multi-site project exhibiting great wherewithal.</li>
<li>HYBRID PROJECT DEVELOPMENT &ndash; Often times an AIS substation requires configuration of multiple AIS, GIS, FACTS and multi-vendor integrations to achieve success. We are not limited to fixed products, but instead can design and implement custom systems</li>
<li>SPECIFIC NEEDS ASSESSMENT &ndash; We understand that AIS substations are often spread out over a great distance. They may have security, natural disaster risks, weather vulnerability and much more. Our extensive experience allows us to meet our customer&rsquo;s unique needs.</li>
</ul>
<p>MEPPI's engineering and construction workforces provide daily proof that our familiarity and adherence to the rules, regulations, and specifications of our customers and local governments are incredibly valuable to a successful project.

Our Industrial Substations provide dedicated ingress or egress of medium/high voltage power to large manufacturing facilities.

<h2>Mitsubishi Electric Industrial Substations provide dedicated ingress or egress of medium/high voltage power to large manufacturing facilities.</h2>
<p>The need for an industrial substation is driven by power needs, but in many cases the need is far different:</p>
<ul>
<li>Protection and isolation of the facility</li>
<li>Security and defense of the substation</li>
<li>In-house control of the power inputs and outputs</li>
<li>Part of a strategy to save money on power costs</li>
<li>Integration of onsite energy harvesting and energy storage</li>
</ul>
<p>Industrial substations have one obstacle that we are uniquely able to resolve. This obstacle is that the site of the substation is often limited to property or location already owned. This site could be adjacent to the operations of the client. This site could be inside a building or even elevated. This site could be in close proximity to dangerous chemicals.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<p>Regardless, Mitsubishi Electric&rsquo;s professional services can work with the client in the following ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>Site evaluation</li>
<li>Ground plane analysis</li>
<li>Architecture through civil engineering of buildings/ enclosures/ platforms</li>
<li>Project management and construction services to specifically design, manufacture and install substations</li>
<li>Managing the wide range of permits, testing and liaison with the power utility, government agencies and other external partners</li>
<li>Activation and commissioning of power inputs from power utilities that SSD is comfortable working with</li>
</ol>

Ready to meet the expanding power demands of urban areas without expanding the power substation or transformer footprint.

<h2>We&rsquo;re ready to meet the expanding power demands of urban and densely populated areas without expanding the power substation or transformer footprint.</h2>
<p>Mitsubishi Electric is uniquely positioned to evalute the alternatives associated with restrictive urban footprints and interior equipment locations. The use case often forces the power utility to answer some difficult questions:</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Do you operate the facilities at loads above their rating, and for how long?</li>
<li>Do you replace the facility, and with what capacity to ensure a lifetime that meets both the financial and power demand needs?</li>
<li>Do you substitute technologies such as transitioning from AIS to GIS technologies?</li>
<li>Do you employ multifunctional control systems that replace or reduce the footprint of the previously installed voltage control or power factoring or energy switching gear?</li>
<li>Do you decide to build two in place of one, and how will that be financed over time?</li>
<li>Do you factor in storm, natural disaster and security countermeasures, and how will that impact the physical structure, the power equipment and the size of the substation?</li>
</ul>
<p><span></span></p>
<p>All of these factors are part of the engineering challenges which Mitsubishi Electric has the experience to deal with as well as the expertise to help the power utility narrow choices down to the right one, based on capital expenditure budgets, on cost/risk analysis and based upon long term power substation energy demands.</p>

We help power utilities assess the readiness of their substation infrastructure.

<h2>With disaster recovery evolving to emergency and disaster prevention, we help power utilities assess the readiness of their substation infrastructure.</h2>
<ul>
<li>Power utilities and industrial entities have recently been faced with lawsuits associated with wildfires.</li>
<li>They are held accountable for power service restoral in coastal areas after devastating floods.</li>
<li>They seek to recover from disruptions associated with transformer explosions.</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the most vulnerable and statistically problematic points of contention is the risk associated with a relatively high percentage of aging &amp; obsolete substations still in operation today.</p>
<p>Solutions include:</p>
<p>RISK ASSESSMENT &ndash; Fully able to audit and assess risk of 10&rsquo;s to 100&rsquo;s of substations, including detailed technical testing.</p>
<p>MULTI-SUBSTATION PROJECTS &ndash; Help develop programs that would encompass upgrades to all substations in operation.</p>
<p>MULTI-SUBSTATION MONITORING &ndash; Large scale monitoring programs, including the installation of thermographic imaging and networked monitoring, to ensure early warning systems offset the risks presented by natural disasters.</p>
<p>Mitsubishi Electric&rsquo;s turnkey services allow a power utility or a multi-site industrial business to entrust emergency and disaster prevention to our knowledgeable staff. We have experience building some of the most challenging gas insulated substations. We have had experiences with platform substation and in-building substation construction.

Voltage regulation and power factor management solutions for qualitative transmission of AC power.

<h2>Mitsubishi Electric provides voltage regulation and power factor management solutions for qualitative transmission of AC power.</h2>
<p>The generation, transmission and distribution of power is constantly challenged to ensure power supplied is transported and distributed from point A to point Z, without loss and with optimized network integrity. To enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability, Mitsubishi Electric provides power utilities, industrial applications, gas &amp; mining applications and long-distance power transmission with high quality voltage control and power factor technology.</p>
<p><img src="https://0aab1c21-cdn.agilitycms.cloud/Attachments/NewItems/con-1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Today&rsquo;s power grid is under mounting stress as utilities grapple with the rapid retirement of coal power plants, prevalence of renewable energy sources, and load growth into new areas. This combination of load growth supplied by intermittent sources of electric power can create unstable voltage conditions that constrain power system operation. To support these challenges, we provide ongoing leadership in the development of FACTS technology.</p>
<p><img src="https://0aab1c21-cdn.agilitycms.cloud/Attachments/NewItems/con-2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Advanced power electronics systems like Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM), Static VAR Compensators (SVCs) and Fixed Series Compensators (FSCs) have automated the process for robust and reliable operation. These solutions stabilize the power system voltage by balancing the supply and demand of reactive power. This results in a tremendous improvement in the overall operation and performance of the transmission system.</p>
<p>Mitsubishi Electric has the equipment solutions and expertise to handle a wide range of voltage regulation, power factor control and switching required to ensure the power is precisely delivered to meet the client&rsquo;s specifications and needs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Thyristor valves to control the inductance and capacitance applied to the system.</li>
<li>Fixed capacitor harmonic filters used to mitigate harmonics generated by the TCR branch(es).</li>
<li>Coupling transformers used in conjunction with the thyristor valves.</li>
<li>Valve liquid cooling systems used for large substation temperature control.</li>
<li>Station control systems using a LINUX-based operating system to control all ancillary equipment throughout the substation.</li>
<li>STATCOM systems using gate commutated turn-off (GCT) thyristors, which eliminate additional components, wiring and snubber circuits; and result in lower total cost of operation.</li>
<li>AC to DC inversion systems ranging from high to medium voltages.</li>
</ul>
<p>Customers considering our voltage control and power factor technology do so because they are seeking a solution to optimize power delivery (managing network reactive power), to ensure network stabilization with (consistent inductive and capacitive properties), to accomplish this with minimal capital expenditure, and to often achieve this in the minimal physical footprint (preventing the need for additional transmission lines or substation expansion). Mitsubishi Electric provides turnkey designs including:</p>
<ol>
<li>Professional and certified civil, electrical, and structural design and engineering.</li>
<li>Design and construction of foundations, steel structures, and buildings.</li>
<li>Professional project management and construction resources.</li>
<li>Professional and certified system testing and commissioning services.</li>
</ol>

Flexible AC Transmission Systems Solutions

Efficiently transport power over long distances without the costly line loss associated with AC power transmission.

<h2>High Voltage DC solutions efficiently transport power over long distances without the costly line loss associated with AC power transmission.</h2>
<p>High voltage DC is being touted as the transmission methodology of the future&mdash;revisiting the assertions made originally by Thomas Edison. &ldquo;The advantages of HVDC then became readily apparent. Compared to AC, HVDC is more efficient&mdash;a thousand-mile HVDC line carrying thousands of megawatts might lose 6 to 8 percent of its power, compared to 12 to 25 percent for a similar AC line1.&rdquo;</p>
<p><img src="https://0aab1c21-cdn.agilitycms.cloud/sp_hvdc_800X449.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>There are two other important factors to consider in HVDC. First, HVDC transmission allows for elimination of towers and aerial cables by using underground and submarine transmission. As power generation becomes more distant from the power consumer, this is essential to all power utilities. Placing towers and aerial transmission has become almost impossible in populated areas. In areas where aerial facilities exist, is the ability to construct a DC plant on existing AC tower paths, replacing AC lines. Thus, delivering more power to the same people, without creating a &ldquo;not in my backyard&rdquo; conflict.</p>
<p>Employing Mitsubishi Electric HVDC solutions results in the ultimate improvements in the following specific ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lowered cost by avoiding AC transmission line losses, which is a direct function of distance, voltage and power transfer.</li>
<li>Considerably friendlier to the future of alternative energy generation and transmission, where high voltage DC power is being generated for transport to traditional grids.</li>
<li>HVDC is often necessary as a means of delivering high voltage power across the boundaries of two dissimilar systems. This could be company boundaries, territorial boundaries or national boundaries.</li>
<li>Provides a low loss solution, with the most efficient method of transmission technology</li>
<li>Enables the controllability of intermittent power</li>
<li>Improves environment impact as a result of the smaller towers and right of way requirements</li>
<li>Increasing power capabilities up to 3 times more than AC circuits</li>
</ul>

<p>Renewable energy - often referred to as &ldquo;clean energy&rdquo; - comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished. This is as compared to nonrenewable, or &ldquo;dirty energy&rdquo;, including fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Nonrenewable sources of energy are only available in limited amounts and take many lifetimes to replenish.</p>
<p><img src="https://0aab1c21-cdn.agilitycms.cloud/Attachments/NewItems/renewable-energy-solutions-1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Mitsubishi Electric provides two systems within this solution category. The photovoltaic (PVESS) solar solution includes skid or site build solutions comprised of 2.5MW to 3.36MW building blocks and central inverter technology. The energy storage solution (BESS) includes containerized or building solutions comprised of 1MWh to 200MWh systems configures as equipment only or full turnkey options (i.e. civil, structural and power designed &amp; engineered &amp; built).</p>
<p><img src="https://0aab1c21-cdn.agilitycms.cloud/Attachments/NewItems/renewable-energy-solutions-2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>These can be supplied as products, as systems, or as turnkey solutions. Mitsubishi Electric has the ability to meet the customer need, however complex or simple the project may be. This is an important distinction because it speaks to the most valuable part of our solution offering. Mitsubishi is known for high quality, for excellent customer service, and for extremely attractive warranty programs.

Some of the suppliers are established, but only offering products. Some of the suppliers are professional services organizations that are learning as they progress. Mitsubishi Electric&rsquo;s value propositions demonstrate why the choice to work with us on renewable energy systems is so compelling.</p>
<ul>
<li>Mitsubishi is one of the largest global technology leaders with a culture for integrity, fairness and high quality. This means that the C&amp;I or power utility customer will have a great assurance that we will stand behind our solution.</li>
<li>MELCO (Japan) and Mitsubishi Electric are positioned in renewables to be able to select, acquire, integrate, or build the best technologies available into our renewable solution. For instance, the heart of the inverter is the Mitsubishi Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) which is recognized as an industry-leading building block for power switching and voltage regulation</li>
<li>Mitsubishi Electric is a manufacturer of switchgear, transformers, UPS, power control systems, power utility equipment, and much more. Unlike battery manufacturers or an engineering company, there is a deep knowledge base and talent that exists in MEPPI. For instance, in most cases, Mitsubishi Electric already possesses safety and performance compliance with power utility standards. Mitsubishi Electric already manufactures and supplies generation, transmission and distribution equipment to C&amp;I and power utility customers.</li>
<li>We can deliver turnkey solutions to our customers or partners. This means that the Flexible Renewable Energy group has access to power system planning, design, engineering, project management, site management, testing, customer service, and administration resources to fully complete any turnkey project.</li>
