PDE Total Energy Solutions

PDE Total Energy Solutions (PDE) is full-service electrical contracting company. Over more than 20 years, PDE has built a sterling reputation centered on the Mission-Critical Power arena. It is uniquely equipped to offer both maintenance and design-build services for buildings where failure is not an option.

Energy Efficiency. Green Technology. Return on Investment (ROI). These phrases are increasingly part of the Building Managers' and Building Owners' lexicon. And just as today's astute building owners and managers have identified the need for increasingly cost-effective building operation, PDE has been at work to deliver the correct blend of innovative technology to achieve this goal. By using its expertise with DC power in advanced power systems with energy controls, renewable generation and energy storage, PDE Total Energy Solutions integrates these technologies to maximize energy savings, reliability and expand redundancy options for industrial, commercial and institutional facilities.

PDE Total Energy Solutions (PDE) is full-service electrical contracting company specializing in critical power design build for over two decades. PDE is signatory to the IBEW and is a member of the National Electrical Contractors association (NECA), an active member of the NECA Safety Board and NECA's Energy Task Force.
Backed by 20 years of data center construction experience with design-build AC/ DC electrical systems and building management control systems for critical power applications, PDE provides an edge by leveraging its experience to integrate new components like lighting control systems to existing lighting systems and motor control centers such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) for existing chillers, computer room air conditioners and central plants. Additionally, new equipment controls may require integration with proprietary platforms. PDE understands the extensive pre-planning and execution necessary to keep all electrical and mechanical systems operational while the upgrades are completed.

With the emergence of the smart grid and energy storage, PDE has taken a leadership role in integrating utility-scale energy storage and microgrid systems ranging from light commercial designs to utility-scale. PDE is technology agnostic and uses power electronics technology developed by leading companies and high power advanced battery cell technologies. As a leader in emerging smart grid systems, PDE has leveraged our deep industry knowledge to merge advanced technologies to produce state-of-the-art energy systems.

Our combined expertise of energy efficiency retrofits and micro-grid project experience of PDE provides its clients benefits, including:

1. Design, construction, and commissioning of SCADA systems including robust DNP. architecture, custom reporting, as may be required by agencies to measure efficiency and performance.
2. Integration of multiple heritage manufacturers and suppliers system technology with new systems.
3. Technology neutral decision making in qualifying and selecting technology partners.
4. Power market intelligence, understanding of complex utility pricing structures and tariffs.

Light Commercial – The low voltage system targets DC applications in the 28 to 60 volt range. Applications are typically under 100kW. The systems are designed to provide multi-layered redundancy, cost avoidance and ease of upgrade. Target markets for such systems are high-use residential, small commercial facilities, remote telemetry and telecommunication backup. Systems are agnostically designed to provide for plug and play architecture and ease of technology transition.

Microgrid – Community scale energy distribution/storage systems integrated within a smart grid framework. Proprietary system design provides superior performance and flexible installation configurations. Capacity and voltage requirements have been engineered to provide flexibility and reduce risk associated with customization.

Utility Distribution – Utility-grade energy storage applications designed to provide scalable MW systems. Systems can be designed within a fully enclosed container integrating operational controls, cooling and fire suppression. The system containment architecture has been developed to minimize foot print of installation and provide a solution for space restrictions.
