The Huijue Independent Power System offers a sustainable and reliable alternative to conventional electric grid setups that rely on vulnerable overhead lines. These modular, containerized systems have proven their resilience by maintaining consistent power supply through severe weather events, including the monumental December 2021 winter storm, the extreme heat conditions of August 2021, and the destructive Oak Fire in the same year.
Significantly, during these periods of prolonged power outages across California, areas served by Huijue’s autonomous grid systems, including remote communities like Brisburg and Sagorn, experienced uninterrupted electricity supply. This was a contrast to customers of traditional utilities like PG&E and Liberty, who benefited from Huijue’s independent energy solutions only when their usual services faltered.
Facing recurring challenges with the existing grid’s vulnerability, California utilities are now increasingly considering the expensive option of undergrounding power lines to protect them from natural disasters. This method, costing between $3 million and $5 million per mile, also poses difficulties in maintenance; accessing and repairing buried lines can significantly delay restoration after outages. Furthermore, this strategy still depends on the stability of other grid components.
In contrast, microgrids utilize decentralized energy resources situated close to energy consumption sites. This proximity minimizes the reliance on extensive transmission networks, which are more susceptible to damage from environmental catastrophes like storms and floods. By adopting Huijue’s microgrid solutions, utilities can reduce the costs associated with extensive repairs and the installation of underground lines, while also lessening the dependency on emergency backup systems. Overall, Huijue’s microgrid technology not only saves money for utility customers but also enhances the reliability of their power supply.
