Microgrids · Las Vegas

Power that holds when the grid doesn’t.

Bases, hospitals and campuses are building microgrids so they can keep running on their own when the main grid fails. We’re building the layer that tells their operators, before they disconnect, whether the island will stay stable, and proves afterwards that it did.

IllustrativeA microgrid disconnects from the main grid and stays in step. A command to switch on a large load would pull one corner out of step, so it’s held, the weak link is shown, and the moment is signed into the record.
01 The problem

The riskiest moment is going it alone.

A microgrid runs on solar, batteries and generators linked by power electronics, with little of the spinning mass that steadies a big grid. The moment it disconnects, or a large load comes on, it can fall out of step and go dark. Today, operators find out whether it holds by trying it.

02 What we’re building

Four answers before the switch.

We’re not building another microgrid controller. We’re building a layer that sits beside the one you have and answers the question that matters: if we island now, will we stay stable, and can we prove it?

01 · Readiness

No number for “are we ready?”

Operators see voltages and frequencies, but not how close the whole network is to falling out of step.

What we’re building

We’re building a live readiness margin that weighs how much each load matters and allows for losing any single piece of equipment.

02 · The pre-check

Commands that are tried, not tested.

Islanding, switching on a large load or changing a generator’s output can push the network past its limit.

What we’re building

We’re building a check that runs each of those commands against the margin first and holds the ones that would break the island.

03 · Weak points

Failures that start in one place.

When a microgrid fails, it usually splits apart at a weak link nobody could see.

What we’re building

We’re building a map that shows where the network would break apart, before it does.

04 · Proof

Availability on trust.

Critical sites have to show their essential loads stayed powered, and the proof is usually a spreadsheet.

What we’re building

We’re building a signed, tamper-evident record that proves the critical loads stayed up.

03 Who it’s for

Every critical site, its own island.

More and more sites that can’t afford to go dark are building their own power networks. Keeping them in step is the same problem whether it’s a base, a hospital or a port, and so is the need to prove it.

01

Military bases.

Keep critical missions powered when the main grid is down or under attack.

02

Hospitals.

Keep surgery, intensive care and cold storage running through an outage.

03

Campuses & ports.

Run on local solar and storage, and island safely when it counts.

04

Communities.

Share local energy and keep the lights on together.

04 Our home

Proudly building in Las Vegas.

Every world-class hub started somewhere. Silicon Valley was orchards once. It took a few people who decided not to wait for permission. There’s no shortage of sun in the desert, and we’re building with it.

Why not us.
Why not here.
Why not now.
