ClearSky is Perfect for Microgrids
Whether your microgrid is a battery retrofit to a community solar project or in the middle of a school parking lot in downtown Los Angeles, the ClearSky Interconnection is a perfect fit.
ClearSky’s low profile allows it to be installed anywhere without creating shading or unsightly overhead poles and wires.
Utility-to-microgrid synchronization is also supported by using the optional VSync support feature.
ClearSky’s Built-in User Interface also supports a unique ‘virtual metering’ feature that can be used to intelligently calculate a load, a generator, or even a battery when physical metering doesn’t exist.
The ClearSky Advantage
SIMPLE TO SPECIFY
Designed to incorporate utility and industry best practices; Available in three models - 15kV, 25kV, and 35kV, the ClearSky may be specified in seconds.
EASILY FITS YOUR DESIGN
The ClearSky has a small footprint and low profile, saving land usage and eliminating overhead equipment shading concerns. Product drawings and CAD blocks are available.
FASTER INSTALLATION
Most customers receive, set, and terminate the ClearSky Interconnection in less than a day. The ClearSky is 100% self-contained, completely pre-assembled and self-powered. Just add the grid!
HIGHER RELIABILITY
Pad mount switch gear is used extensively by utilities due to its safe and reliable design characteristics. Impervious to server weather, harsh conditions, and animal contact events. It’s a tank!
INTELLIGENT COMMISSIONING
Never wait for monitoring or SCADA again. Every ClearSky arrives with a browser-based Built-in User Interface that provides instant access to diagnostics, relay events, data logging, and remote configuration.
LOWER COST OF OWNERSHIP
Bucket trucks are expensive! The ClearSky brings all interconnection equipment 30 feet down to ground level where it may be easily inspected, operated, and serviced.
Does Your Interconnection Require Inrush Mitigation?
Inrush current concerns are being raised by utilities at an increasing rate due to their advanced power flow studies. Sometimes referred to as “Rapid Voltage Change”, the power quality issues are very real.
Aderis Energy has been directly involved in inrush mitigation strategies since 2017, and offers a patented* whole facility, automated solution called the ClearSky PLUS™.
