RTC Renewable Power

Towards Round-the-Clock Renewable Power

Renewable Power When You Need It

Solar generation is strongest during daylight hours. Wind generation varies with resource availability. Energy storage bridges the gap.

By appropriately integrating Solar + Wind + BESS, IMAA can develop solutions designed to increase renewable energy availability across different periods of the day.

Why Round-the-Clock Renewable Power?

Moving Beyond Intermittent Renewable Generation

One of the key challenges in the transition to renewable energy is ensuring that clean power is available when it is needed—not only when the sun is shining or wind conditions are favourable.

IMAA addresses this challenge through an integrated approach combining renewable generation and energy storage.

Key Challenge :
icon

Solar

Solar power is primarily available during daylight hours.

icon

Wind

Wind generation varies depending on wind conditions.

icon

Energy Storage

BESS can store surplus renewable energy and make it available when renewable generation is lower.

The IMAA RTC Approach

Solar + Wind + BESS. One Integrated Energy Solution.

By appropriately sizing and integrating Solar, Wind and BESS, surplus renewable energy can be stored and subsequently utilised during periods when renewable generation is lower.

This approach can help customers progressively move towards Round-the-Clock renewable power while improving renewable energy utilisation and reducing dependence on conventional power sources.

The Integrated Energy Cycle

A Continuous Cycle of Generation, Storage and Optimisation

icon

01 Generate

Generate Renewable Energy

Solar and wind assets generate renewable electricity.

icon

02 Store

Store Surplus Energy

BESS captures surplus renewable energy generated during periods of high renewable generation.

icon

03 Optimise

Optimise Energy Availability

Stored energy can be deployed when renewable generation is insufficient or when the customer's load requires additional power.

icon

04 Power

Power Your Operations

Renewable electricity supports the customer's operations across different periods of the day.

icon

05 Repeat

Create a Balanced Renewable Power Profile

The integrated architecture can help businesses move towards greater renewable energy consumption, improved energy flexibility and Round-the-Clock renewable power.

Role of Solar

Solar Generation

Solar generates clean renewable electricity primarily during daylight hours. IMAA evaluates solar potential, available rooftop or land area, site conditions, grid connectivity and the customer's energy requirements when developing a renewable energy solution.

Solar Can Be Integrated With
  • BESS
  • Wind
  • Solar + Wind
  • Solar + Wind + BESS
  • Open Access Renewable Power + BESS
icon
Role of Wind

Wind Generation

Wind energy can complement solar generation across different periods of the day and seasons. The combination of wind and solar can provide a more balanced renewable generation profile compared with relying on a single generation source.

Wind Can Support
  • Renewable power availability
  • Solar + Wind hybrid solutions
  • Wind + BESS
  • Renewable Open Access
  • Integrated RTC solutions
icon
Role of BESS

Energy Storage That Bridges Gap

Renewable energy generation is naturally variable. BESS helps store surplus renewable energy and make it available when required. IMAA provides tailor-made BESS solutions based on the specific requirements of each customer.

BESS Can Support
  • Store surplus renewable energy
  • Reduce renewable energy curtailment
  • Improve renewable energy utilisation
  • Support peak-load management
Possible RTC Configurations

Designed Around Your Energy Requirements

There is no universal configuration for Round-the-Clock renewable power.

Depending on the customer's requirements, IMAA can evaluate different configurations.

01 Configuration

Solar + BESS

02 Configuration

Wind + BESS

03 Configuration

Solar + Wind

04 Configuration

Solar + Wind + BESS

05 Configuration

Open Access Renewable Power + BESS

06 Configuration

Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for RTC Requirements

Designed Around Your Load Profile

No One-Size-Fits-All RTC Solution

The configuration required for RTC power is highly dependent on the customer's load profile and the required renewable energy share.

IMAA therefore follows a customer-specific design approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

We Evaluate :
  • Historical electricity consumption
  • Daily and seasonal load profile
  • Peak demand requirements
  • Existing power procurement costs
  • Renewable energy consumption objectives
  • Available rooftop or land area
  • Solar and wind resource potential
  • Grid connectivity and evacuation infrastructure
  • Open Access feasibility
  • Energy storage requirements
  • Investment and financing preferences
  • Long-term sustainability objectives

Commercial Models for RTC

Flexible Commercial Structures

icon

CAPEX

The customer invests in and owns the renewable energy asset.

icon

OPEX / RESCO

The renewable energy project is developed, financed, owned and operated by the energy provider while the customer procures the generated power under an agreed commercial structure.

icon

Open Access / IPP

Eligible consumers can access utility-scale renewable power through appropriate Open Access structures, subject to applicable regulations and project feasibility.
