Project Overview

Project Background

An off-grid intelligent microgrid on a tropical Philippine resort island pairing a 1044kWh LVK outdoor BESS with 500kW of existing PV and diesel gensets — cutting diesel use by 55% and delivering zero-noise night power for guests.

Customer Needs

The island sits far from the mainland grid and historically relied on diesel generators running 24 hours a day. With fuel costs climbing and the diesel sets suffering severe wear during long low-load night periods, the resort faced rising operating costs. Frequent voltage fluctuations also damaged the resort's high-end guest appliances, hurting the guest experience.

Application Focus

Off-Grid Intelligent Microgrid

Solution Design

Integrated ESS Design For Site Operations

LVK provided a customized 1044 kWh modular energy storage container, integrating a 500 kW STS (Static Transfer Switch) module and a microgrid-grade EMS. The system deeply integrates the BESS with the island's existing 500 kW PV array and diesel generators into one coordinated off-grid microgrid.
