Learn MoreDistributed Energy Resources (DERs) for Resilience
Unlock the potential of distributed energy resources and empower energy independence
Trane can help you develop a comprehensive strategy incorporating the optimal DERs to meet your requirements and goals.
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are energy generation and storage technologies that can supplement or replace the power generation provided by central utilities. Stand-alone or connected through a microgrid, they can create organizational value by helping manage energy expenses, ensure reliability and accelerate sustainability efforts.
DERs technologies include:
- Generators/gensets
- Turbines
- Fuel cells
- Cogeneration or CHP
- Renewables
- Microgrid technology
- Storage technologies
Reasons to Act
Optimize Your Power Generation
DERs are essential for these critical initiatives:
Having an always-available power source to ensure uptime and operational resilience
Utilizing lower carbon fuel sources independently from the utility grid to reduce your carbon footprint
Implementing a cogeneration program onsite to produce energy for your facility and minimize waste byproducts
Mitigating high costs of energy and avoiding peak demand charges
Benefits / Outcomes
What Are the Benefits of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)?
DERs give you a way forward for energy self-sufficiency. They’re especially essential when expensive electricity, unreliable power infrastructure or carbon-intensive grid energy sources are at play.
Solve electric power access and
reliability issues
Contribute to your sustainability initiatives
Optimize your energy cost management
