Husk Power Systems has introduced Power Resilience and Intelligent System Management (PRISM), a containerised clean energy solution. It is referred to as a “minigrid-in-a-box” and is suitable for isolated and grid-interconnected minigrids as well as captive and embedded commercial and industrial systems. It can help roll out one minigrid per day, and the speed of deployment reportedly makes it an ideal solution for rapid response to grid failure due to extreme weather events and other climate shocks, as well as for displaced communities. PRISM minigrids have reportedly been able to connect and power 20 homes and 20 businesses within 48 hours of deployment. Company reports suggest that they help decrease capital expenditure per site by 7 per cent and operational expenditure by 20 per cent. This is done through standardisation of pre-deployment design and testing.
