Power-on-Demand

Providing Resiliency - whether on grid or off!

Power-on-Demand is a leading provider of “power-as-a service” to the oilfield using its POD EnergyOS energy management software.

Battery Energy Storage Systems ("BESS")

Oil & Gas Operators are making significant investments to electrify the oil field. As power needs grow and intermittent generation sources are added (Solar, Wind) the grid becomes less stable; user’s operations become more vulnerable.

POD’s proven BESS technology:

  • Enhances resiliency resulting in greater uptime
  • Increases power quality to extend equipment life
  • Reduces electricity costs
  • Participate in ERCOT Demand Response programs for added income

Off-Grid Installation

Where utility power is unavailable, we provide turn-key power by integrating our generation assets with POD’s bespoke BESS. POD EnergyOS is load-following with 20 ms response time to handle sudden load changes.

  • POD delivers generators and BESS units (including POD EnergyOS functionality)
  • POD manages fuel supply for generators
  • POD handles integration of power source with the operator’s existing equipment
  • POD provides a simple, monthly invoice at a fixed price per kWh

On-Grid Installation

Where grid-connected, POD doesn’t just restore your power – it’s designed to keep you from going down. POD’s power-as-a-service provides the following benefits:

  • POD EnergyOS provides 20ms response time which allows you to ride through sudden changes – whether due to connected load or a sudden change of power delivery from the utility
  • Perform peak shaving to save on utility bills year-round
  • Use POD EnergyOS and it’s BESS to manage participation in a revenue-producing merchant function where available (i.e. ERCOT’s demand response programs)

Compelling Economics -
Safer Operations

Power-on-Demand integrates key facility electrical information into our POD EnergyOS allowing our customers to identify trends, detect anomalies and optimize operations for the entire facility.

  • Our BESS automation, remote surveillance and dispatch allow for response to power outages without mobilizing field personnel.
  • We eliminate the downtime associated with the callout times but more importantly, we reduce employees driving during power outages which frequently occur during overnight hours or storm activity
  • Our remote surveillance provides better monitoring and reporting to identify electrical issues prior to arriving on location which further reduces miles driven and time on-site

The POD Advantage

Real-Time Load

POD EnergyOS and BESS systems operate synchronous with the grid and can instantaneously pick up or shed real-time load

Stability Monitoring / Sequencing

We monitor the grid for stability and then sequence the load back to the grid

Continued Operations During Power Dropout

Our “protected bus” operation is seamless to the load allowing the load to continue unaffected during power dropout and provides higher power quality with voltage and frequency support
