Powerstar is a leading provider of behind-the-meter battery energy storage applications, providing complete power resilience with site-wide Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). On top of improving power resilience, these technologies support companies on their path to net zero, which is becoming increasingly important in a world reliant on rapid electrification and digitisation.
Through our dedicated team of technical experts, we have developed technical appraisal and project feasibility capabilities with the application of digital twins, energy control strategy planning, and real-time modelling and simulation for microgrid applications. This unique capability allows us to deliver complex energy projects that have demonstrated proof of concept before installation even begins.
