Xendee Unveils Multi-Node Feature, Partners with UTEP for Military Microgrid Training

Xendee, a leading microgrid development software provider, has unveiled a new multi-node feature. This innovation aims to design sustainable communities, large facilities, and utility-scale microgrids. Meanwhile, the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is collaborating with Xendee to develop specialized courses for military personnel.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is embracing microgrids to boost resilience on military bases worldwide. Xendee is supporting this initiative by assisting the DoD's Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) to reduce energy system engineering costs.

Nathan Johnson, Associate Professor at Arizona State University, directed the Laboratory for Energy And Power Solutions (LEAPS) for this project. Xendee partnered with Arizona State University to create a curriculum for training service members on using the Xendee software. Xendee's platform has been successfully demonstrated at three DoD installations: Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, USAG Bavaria, and Naval Base San Diego.

Xendee's software can model up to 25 different distributed energy resource technologies and optimize solutions for each site. Its optimization engine analyzes and optimizes investment strategy, technology sizing, placement, and system dispatch for each installation. Recently, Xendee announced an integration with UtilityAPI for more accurate load data and emission profiles. Furthermore, Xendee completed DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), ensuring a cyber-secure platform for DoD applications.

Xendee's new multi-node feature and partnerships, such as with UTEP and Arizona State University, are driving advancements in sustainable energy solutions for military bases. With successful demonstrations and integrations, Xendee's software is proving to be a valuable tool for enhancing resilience and reducing costs in energy systems.
