Case Study
Seaside Heights, N.J.
For three weeks after Super Storm Sandy, the borough of Seaside Heights, N.J., relied on three QSK60, two-megawatt Cummins generators to provide power while many surrounding towns struggled without power.
These same units are now generating nearly $500,000 in combined revenues and savings for the borough.
By combining the generators with the predictive technology and automated dispatch capabilities of Tangent AMP™, a Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS), Seaside Heights was able to participate in PJM’s sync reserve market.
Moving forward, Seaside Heights has the ability to improve upon these results by using the same combination of generation + DERMS to predict and respond to critical peak and pricing periods on the energy grid. By doing so, the borough will be able to also lower capacity charges and transmission costs which will ultimately help Seaside Heights negotiate for better electricity rates.
