The Challenge: Operations rely on energy support from the grid

As a microgrid controller, hEMS delivers essential benefits to power management operations, ensuring seamless energy management.

The Challenge
Mining sites are typically located in remote areas with weak or intermittent grids. Since mining operations rely on stable energy, a microgrid energy storage system can provide added grid support and help improve power reliability.
Our Innovative Solutions
Mining operations rely on a large fleet of diesel or natural gas generators, which results in large fuel bills. As one of the emerging microgrid companies, CleanDesign provides an energy storage system like hEMS to help move mining closer to a sustainable future.

CleanDesign microgrid controllers are deployed across mining sites, remote and northern communities, and EV-charging hubs. For sector detail, see Mining, Remote Communities, and EV Charging.

As one of the leading microgrid companies, CleanDesign's microgrid controller hEMS delivers essential benefits to power management operations, ensuring seamless energy management.

Load smoothing
hEMS will balance and manage energy load to prevent sharp peaks or drops in power usage.
Peak shaving
hEMS allows the reduction of energy consumption during periods of high demand (known as "peaks") to lower overall energy costs and reduce strain on the microgrid.
Blackout and brownout reduction
Blackout and brownout reduction ensure continuous, stable power supply by limiting frequency of outages and voltage drops during high demand or system stress.
Reduction in fuel and oil costs
By optimizing energy use, the hEMS microgrid controller lowers energy consumption and other operational expenses.
Optimization of power inputs
Many grid-connected mines are expanding into renewable energy sources. Whether powered by solar, wind, or generators, hEMS can optimize all types of power inputs, a key advantage among microgrid companies
hEMS provides an innovative solution for Remote Communities
In remote communities, the hEMS system integrates renewable energy sources with battery storage and intelligent power management to reduce dependence on traditional diesel generators. By optimizing energy usage and smoothing power loads, hEMS ensures a consistent, reliable power supply, even in areas with limited grid access. This not only lowers fuel costs and emissions but also enhances energy sustainability, providing a cleaner, more efficient solution for remote locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a microgrid controller?

A microgrid controller is the intelligent system that manages how a microgrid's power sources — generators, battery storage, and renewables, work together. CleanDesign's controller balances loads in real time, dispatches stored battery power during peaks, and keeps power stable whether the microgrid is islanded or grid-connected.

How much can hEMS reduce diesel fuel consumption at a mine site?

hEMS can reduce diesel fuel consumption by up to 48% at mining operations by optimizing power inputs, balancing loads, and minimizing reliance on generator fleets.

Can hEMS work with renewable energy sources like solar and wind?

Yes. hEMS is designed to optimize all types of power inputs, including solar, wind, diesel, and natural gas generators, making it flexible for mines and communities that are incorporating renewables alongside existing infrastructure.

How does hEMS reduce blackouts and brownouts in remote power systems?

hEMS continuously balances energy load and manages peak demand. This reduces the frequency of outages and voltage drops that commonly occur in weak or intermittent grids found in remote and mining environments.

Is hEMS suitable for remote communities without year round road or grid access?

Yes. hEMS is specifically built for communities lacking consistent road access, seasonal water access, or grid connections. It helps reduce dependence on diesel generators while delivering reliable, sustainable power.

What is hEMS and how does it support microgrids in mining and remote communities?

hEMS (Hybrid Energy Management System) is CleanDesign's proprietary platform that integrates battery storage, renewable energy sources, and intelligent power management to stabilize and optimize microgrids in off-grid or weak-grid environments, such as mine sites and remote northern communities.

Is CleanDesign considered one of the microgrid companies offering a microgrid controller solution?

Yes. CleanDesign is a hybrid energy management technology company whose hEMS functions as a microgrid controller, coordinating diesel, natural gas, renewable, and battery inputs in real time. Unlike many microgrid companies that focus on a single power source, CleanDesign's platform is designed to optimize multiple power inputs together across both mining and remote community applications.

What makes hEMS an effective microgrid energy storage system?

 As a microgrid energy storage system, hEMS combines battery storage with intelligent load management to balance power supply and demand in real time. This allows it to smooth energy loads, reduce peak demand strain, and lower reliance on diesel generators, helping mining sites and remote communities operate on a more stable and cost-efficient microgrid.
