Terra Firma means ‘solid ground’. It reflects our consistent and distinctive approach to investment. We buy asset-rich businesses in essential industries that can be transformed through fundamental change in the long term. As such, we invest time, money and expertise into transforming the strategy, operations and finances of the businesses we acquire, recognising that long term success is not achieved purely by focusing on short-term objectives but through dedicated partnership, integrity and tenacity.
Sustainable Power Systems has developed advanced microgrid control technologies to combine and control multiple types of power and storage for island, village, utility, and grid-tied C&I distributed energy applications. We believe that widespread deployment of distributed renewable generation is an essential component to any effective sustainability strategy and that microgrids are the key enabling technology that make such deployment possible.
Our Universal Microgrid Controller® combines and controls all forms of power including, but not limited to: wind, solar, micro-hydro, batteries, diesel generation, and grid electricity. The Universal Microgrid Controller® is a standardized hardware and software platform that reduces the cost and complexity of microgrid deployment and operations. Project developers and EPCs benefit by having a microgrid control platform that is quick to install and maintains a consistent look and feel over a wide range of microgrid applications. Our microgrid controller's sophisticated dispatch algorithms optimize operation so as to minimize the lifecycle cost of energy and reduce the environmental impact associated with energy production.
SPS specializes in high renewable energy penetration microgrids in the 100 kW to 10 MW size range, ideal for remote off-grid communities such as islands and villages, as well as grid-tied commercial and industrial sites. Both on and off-grid, our microgrid controls address the worldwide trend toward distributed electricity production to provide community resiliency, grid stability, energy cost reduction, and environmental sustainability.
SPS seeks to form strategic partnerships with project developers, EPCs, and key component suppliers (e.g. battery system manufacturers. Also, project developers and EPCs seeking to become more vertically integrated now have an opportunity to acquire our microgrid control technology at an attractive price. Please reach out!
