Gridforce Services
Remote Operations Center
Gridforce has been operating generation resources since 2001 under automatic generation control (AGC) using its customized Energy Management System. Gridforce’s experience with remote start of generation extends back to the mid – 2000s, when municipalities operating as NERC certified Load-only Balancing Authorities in Arkansas that were transmission dependent needed to implement remote generation starts to manage their peak power needs.
Gridforce has recently expanded its remote operation services to start and operation of peaking generation facilities and solar and wind generating resources.
