Case Study
In this study we examine the impact of integrating a fleet of Enoda PRIME® Exchangers (“Prime Exchangers”) coordinated by Enoda ENSEMBLE™ into the Texas grid through the Business As Usual (“BAU”) case.
BAU operation of around 25,000 400kVA Prime Exchangers can allow for reduction of up to 3,855.8 tonnes of CO2 in the Regulation-Up market (“RegUp”) on June 21st, 2023. This fleet of 25,000 devices would have been sufficient on this day to completely saturate the regulation up market.
Such a fleet would have reduced carbon emissions of just one of the frequency and ancillary services, RegUp, by 54%, and would also enable Texans to benefit from Enoda’s ability to provide these services at lowest marginal cost.
The Hidden Costs of Delivered Renewable Energy
Renewable energy has become a crucial component of the global energy transition. LCOE has been instrumental in assessing the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies, but it fails to capture the full picture of costs associated with their integration into the grid.

Increasing renewable energy generation does not mean lower prices for the end consumer, despite there being zero fuel-costs. Why is this the case and what needs to happen to change this?
