Building a microgrid is a major capital investment. Keeping it running requires specialized expertise that most businesses do not have in-house. A generator that fails to start during an outage is a wasted investment.
Grid Element Hub (GEH) provides comprehensive Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services to ensure your energy assets perform exactly as designed, every single day. We monitor, maintain, and manage the system so you can focus on your core business.
24/7 Remote Monitoring & Control
We Watch the System So You Don't Have To
We don't just wait for the phone to ring. Our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors your system's performance in real-time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Predictive Alerts
We track key metrics—battery cell temperature, generator oil pressure, inverter frequency—to identify potential failures before they cause an outage.
Remote Troubleshooting
Many issues can be resolved remotely via software updates or control resets, minimizing the need for on-site visits.
Performance Optimization
We constantly tweak the control logic to ensure the system is operating at peak efficiency as your building's load profile changes over time.
Preventive Maintenance
Reliability is Routine
Industrial power equipment requires disciplined care. We manage the entire maintenance schedule according to the manufacturer's strict specifications to preserve your warranties and asset life.
Scheduled Service
We coordinate the regular dispatch of certified technicians to handle fluid changes, filter replacements, and mechanical inspections for generators and thermal units.
Battery Health
We monitor the state-of-health (SoH) of battery systems, managing thermal management systems and balancing cell voltages to extend the life of the storage medium.
Compliance Testing
We conduct and document the regular "test runs" required by local fire codes and insurance policies, ensuring your system is legally compliant.
Market Participation & VPP
Turn Your Cost Center into a Revenue Stream
Most backup generators sit idle 99% of the time. We put your asset to work.
Through our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) services, we can aggregate your stored energy or excess generation capacity and bid it into the energy markets.
Demand Response
We automatically curtail non-critical loads or discharge batteries when the grid pays a premium for load reduction.
Frequency Regulation
We use your battery's rapid response capability to provide grid stabilization services in exchange for monthly payments.
Revenue Management
We handle the complex software integration and market bidding. You simply receive the credits or revenue share, offsetting the cost of your system.
Sustainability & Reporting
Automated Compliance
For clients with strict ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals or regulatory requirements, proving your performance is as important as the performance itself.
Carbon Reporting
We provide automated monthly reports detailing exactly how much CO2 your system offset compared to the grid, giving you audit-ready data for your sustainability report.
Regulatory Filings
We manage the necessary air permit reporting and operational logs required by local environmental agencies (such as the EPA or state DEQs) for on-site generation.
Asset Lifecycle Management
Long-Term Value Protection
Energy assets degrade over time. We help you plan for the long haul.
Augmentation Strategies
As batteries degrade, we plan and execute "augmentation" (adding new battery modules) to maintain your required energy capacity over the 10-20 year project life.
Technology Refresh
We advise on when it makes financial sense to upgrade inverters or controls to newer, more efficient technology.
Protect Your Uptime
