TimberRock Energy Solutions develops microgrid solutions called Pico-Grids and Multi-Grids that provide energy security, efficiency and reliability while also participating in energy and ancillary services markets. Pico-Grids are autonomous microgrids managed by TimberRock's software to be aggregated into larger Multi-Grids capable of rapidly responding to grid needs. These Multi-Grids generate stronger returns than traditional PPAs by providing additional revenue from ancillary grid services. TimberRock has experience developing and operating commercially financed Pico-Grids and provides hardware and software solutions to empower a smarter electrical grid.

Better performance and stronger financial returns than traditional distributed
generation
As renewable, distributed generation increases, it must be integrated with storage, automated
demand response, building efficiency and other balancing technologies to achieve both optimal local
performance and provide services and support to the larger macrogrid and ISO/RTO. This has the
dual benefit of overcoming the technical barriers of high-volume penetration of intermittent
renewables while also opening up new revenue streams and improving project returns.
TimberRock’s Pico-GridsTM are autonomous microgrids that can be as small as a single building or as
large as a small campus. Each is managed by sophisticated Distributed Energy Management &
Aggregation (De-MAP) software that allows the Pico-GridsTM to be managed as single block of energy
capacity. These larger blocks of capacity are called Multi-GridsTM.
Like the traditional PPA, Pico-GridsTM can be deployed via third-party finance and kWhs are provided
to the system host or off-taker. However, in addition, a plurality of Pico-GridsTM when aggregated in
Multi-GridsTM have the ability to react in seconds – in very flexible ways – to the needs of the
macrogrid. The speed and flexibility of Multi-GridsTM allows them to secure additional revenue
streams by providing various ancillary services to the grid operators, participating in whole sale
energy markets and providing distribution-level support, such as providing VAR compensation to the
local utility. These additional revenue streams can provide stronger project returns than traditional
PPAs.
