Hybrid Microgrid

ONE LOOP ENGINEERING

Who It's For

Built for sites that cannot afford downtime and want to reduce energy cost volatility.

  • Remote and weak-grid operations: mines, industrial sites, islanded communities.
  • Critical facilities: data centers, cold chain, hospitals, water utilities, logistics hubs.
  • Diesel-heavy assets: cut fuel burn and maintenance while improving reliability.

Typical System Size

250 kW – 30 MW

We model before we build. Simulation analysis, load profiling, and dispatch strategy are completed before a single component is specified — so what gets installed is engineered to perform, not estimated to perform.

CORE CAPABILITIES

System architecture

Operational Control Platform

Controls dispatch and operating logic to reduce fuel burn, limit generator runtime, improve reliability, and deliver predictable performance under changing load and renewable conditions.

Connection Interface & Compliance Delivery

Designs the grid interface and compliance pathway for C&I DER installations. Includes settings, test plans, commissioning evidence, and documentation aligned to DNSP requirements, ensuring predictable approvals and safe ongoing operation.

Islanding + Black Start Capability

Designs and validates mode transitions for seamless islanding, load shedding priorities, and black-start sequences. Includes reserve strategy, spinning/non-spinning logic, and re-synchronisation procedures to restore power safely and predictably.

BESS + PCS Integration

Integrates battery storage and power conversion systems to buffer renewable variability, support generator transitions, and maintain stable voltage and frequency across the microgrid under all load conditions.

STRATEGIC IMPACT

Value Delivered

Cost Savings

Lower your energy bills by using solar and storage to reduce peak demand, shift consumption, and smooth price volatility, without disrupting operations.

A critical facility remains brightly lit during a storm-driven power outage, highlighting reliable backup power and continuity.

Resilience

Keep critical loads running through outages with seamless backup and intelligent load prioritisation, designed around your uptime requirements.

Revenue Generation

Turn flexible capacity into a cash-flow asset through VPP services and ancillary market participation pathways, where eligible and approved.

Delivery Scope

  • Feasibility study, load profiling, and renewable integration modelling.
  • System architecture design (solar, BESS, diesel gen, supercapacitor combinations).
  • EMS/EPC configuration and dispatch logic development.
  • Simulation analysis and performance validation prior to build.
  • Hardware procurement and multi-vendor integration coordination
  • Civil works, installation, and site commissioning
Why One Loop

Why One Loop

Remote sites don't get second chances. We engineer hybrid microgrids where reliability is the baseline — combining solar, storage, diesel, and EMS into one optimised system built for your load profile, fuel targets, and operational demands.

We lead the engineering. You get a system that cuts diesel dependency, maximises renewable penetration, and keeps running no matter what.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work with equipment or systems we already have on site?

In most cases, yes. We assess your existing assets first and design the most cost-effective integration path rather than recommending a full replacement by default.

Do you manage grid connection and regulatory approvals?

Yes. We handle the full compliance pathway — DNSP approvals, commissioning documentation, and any market registration required for your system to operate legally and optimally.

Do you only work with specific equipment brands?

No. We are hardware-agnostic. We select equipment based on your site requirements, performance specifications, and budget — not supplier agreements.

How do you determine the right system size for our site?

We start with your load data, energy bills, and operational requirements. Every system is sized through detailed modelling and simulation before any equipment is specified.

What does ongoing support look like after commissioning?

We provide performance monitoring, operational reporting, and strategy optimisation as an ongoing service — because a system that isn't continuously tuned rarely performs to its full potential.
