Precision Group LLC

Precision Group has access to more than 100 electricity/natural gas companies, so we are able to offer a much lower price than utilities rates and any rate of an individual electric/gas supplier with our much larger purchasing power. We are currently managing supply of electricity/natural gas for schools, churches, and companies in both manufacturing and service sectors.

Electric power systems have important characteristics. Because electricity cannot be stored economically, the supply of and demand for electricity must be maintained in balance in real time. Grid conditions can change significantly from day to day, hour to hour, and even within seconds. Demand levels can also change rapidly and unexpectedly, causing mismatches in supply and demand that can threaten the integrity of the grid over very large areas in moments. Demand Response provides a financially incentive opportunity for consumers to play a significant role in safeguarding the electrical grid from failure during periods of extremely high demand, avoiding blackouts and brownouts, by reducing their electricity usage during the peak time. Demand Response programs are being used by electric system planners and operators as resource options for balancing supply and demand. Demand Respond programs provide payments to electricity users who reduce consumption when called upon by a grid operator. Some programs pay participants for being available to reduce consumption, whether they are actually called to curtail or not.

A microgrid is a self-contained energy system consisting of distributed energy sources including demand management, storage, and generation, and loads capable of operating in parallel with or independently from the main power grid. The primary purpose is to ensure local, reliable, and affordable energy security for urban and rural communities. Microgrids also provide solutions for commercial, industrial, and federal government users. The benefits of a microgrid by and large include reducing greenhouse gases and lowering stress on the transmission and distribution system. In many aspects, microgrids are smaller versions of the conventional power grid. As current electrical grids do, they consist of power generation, distribution, and controls such as voltage regulation and switch gears however, microgrids, providing a closer proximity between power generation and power use, resulting in efficiency increases and transmission reductions, are different from conventional electrical grids. Microgrids can also integrate with renewable energy, such as solar, wind power, small hydro, geothermal, biomass, and combined heat and power systems. Microgrids control energy sources dynamically, enabling autonomous and automatic self-healing operations. During the periods of normal or peak usage, or at the time of the primary power grid failure, a microgrid can operate independently of the larger grid without affecting the larger grid's integrity. Microgrids interoperate with existing power systems, information systems, and network infrastructure, and are capable of feeding power back to the larger grid during the periods of grid failure or power outages. Benefits of Microgrids Providing power quality, reliability, and security for end users and operators of the grid Enhancing the integration of distributed and renewable energy sources Cost competitive and efficient Enabling smart grid technology integration Acting as locally controlled power quality Minimizing carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions by maximizing clean local energy generation

This is how a solar-electric system works: First, solar panels receive renewable energy from the sun. Photovoltaics, arrays of solar cells, convert sunlight into direct current throughout the day. Second, the inverter converts the direct current into alternating current. Third, electrical power is sent out from the electrical panels. Fourth, a utility meter measures the production and your usage. When the system generates more power than your currently need, the meter reverses. Firth, extra power generated, which will be offset by the amount of extra power produced during the day, is sent to the grid. The entire process saves you money. You will be very satisfied with your savings while taking pride in preserving the environment.

Traditional incandescent and fluorescent lightbulbs are phased out because of more energy-efficient technologies, such as LEDs. The average efficacy of an LED bulb is 78 lm/w (lumens per watt), compared with around 13 lm/w for an incandescent and approximately 18 lm/w for a halogen equivalent. The useful life of an LED is often described by the number of operating hours until the LED luminaire is emitting 70 percent of its initial light output. Good-quality white LED lighting products are expected to have a useful life of 30,000 to 50,000 hours or even longer. A typical incandescent lamp lasts about 1,000 hours a comparable compact fluorescent lightbulb, 8,000 to 10,000 hours and the best linear fluorescent lamps, more than 30,000 hours. Costs of LED lighting products vary widely, while declining rapidly. Prices of LEDs decrease to approximately $2/klm by 2015, resulting in dramatically reduced LED lamp and luminaire prices. The trend is continuing since. When the costs of energy and maintenance are included in the total cost of ownership, LED-based products can have a distinct advantage.

We help you use Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE), a government program to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements on commercial property.
