Sustainable Success Partner

FGE provides broad-based, impartial consulting for Renewable Energy and Smart Grid feasibility study and Renewable Energy and Smart Grid solutions for automation and control projects. Our clients have benefited from our direct experience with utility services requirements, characteristics of traditionally operated Grid networks, and up-to-date knowledge of new technologies available in the marketplace. FGE has provided Solar and Battery Storage technology and business consulting to a wide array of clients. This work has included requirements definition, technical specification, development, issuance and management of vendor procurement, and implementation planning and execution. Our consultant’s deep involvement in this marketplace has created a deep knowledge base of current vendor offerings, including technology deployment criteria; communication infrastructure requirements and performance expectations. We have performed load flow analysis of normal conditions, as well as abnormal conditions (e.g. mass outages) and have assessed the impact of distribution element and home area networking devices on the infrastructures of these vendors. We have developed future state back office system architectures and are assisting in overseeing the implementation, integration and testing of these technologies.

FGE is playing an integral part in this industry with our focus on AMI, communications, back office and Renewable Energy and Smart Grid applications. We maintain a preeminent role in this industry by forging dialogue among industry movers, providing expertise and assistance to leading utilities and by fostering greater interaction among all interested parties.

Expertise For Results

While there may be many firms that claim to have the skills to study, evaluate, recommend, and plan Renewable Energy and Smart Grid systems, few have the hands-on and life experiences associated with performing these tasks. FGE has that experience and has dedicated a team of seasoned professionals who are exclusively focused on Renewable Energy and Smart Grid strategy, design, procurement, deployment, support and value harvesting.  With a rich combination of direct utility “hands on” experience, strong leadership and participation in industry consortia, and years of consulting project service, our consultants are well-versed in metering and communications technology, industry standards, regulatory/legislative trends and the strategies and solutions of most of the leading suppliers. Using past and current Renewable Energy and Smart Grid client engagements, we have developed a library of knowledge regarding specific technology features, capabilities, and pricing, as well as insights into future product development efforts for all major North American utilities.
