GRID RESILIENCE.
ZERO DOWNTIME.
Transportable megawatt-scale storage that deploys in under an hour. Cover planned outages, defer substation upgrades, hold the reserve for co-op and municipal generation, and restore power after storms.
The Challenge
INDUSTRY PAIN POINTS
Planned Maintenance
Routine system work causes customer outages
Constrained Feeders
Load growth outruns substation and feeder capacity, and the upgrade takes years to permit and build
Partial-Load Generation
Co-op and municipal generators run light to hold a reserve, wasting fuel on every hour of operation
Renewable Ramps
Distributed solar swings with the clouds and pushes ramp rates past what the feeder tolerates
Emergency Response
Storms and equipment failures require rapid power restoration
Large New Loads
Data centers and depots arrive faster than the interconnection process can serve them
The Solution
NOMAD DELIVERS
Bypass grid sections during maintenance so customers never see the outage
Non-wires alternative: add capacity at the constrained feeder and defer the upgrade
Spinning reserve for islanded and peaking generation, four units at full load instead of five at 80%
Smooth solar ramps and stabilize voltage at weak points on the system
Rapid deployment to critical facilities after storms and equipment failures
Bridge large new loads while permanent service is built
2 MWhDispatchable storage per Voyager Eagle
6 hrsCustomer outage avoided at Twincraft, Essex VT
<1 hrSetup, no permits
~20%Fuel saved by retiring spinning reserve

BEST FIT SOLUTIONS
“The NOMAD is a great new tool for strategic deployment across the state. From powering a fire department during a storm, to operating a ski lift, to keeping a cluster of homes powered-up.”
