Women-owned small business · 25+ years
Arits Energy engineers and develops microgrids, power plants, solar, storage, fuel cells, and fuels projects, from first concept to a system that runs.
Conventional generation, renewables, and storage engineered as a single system.
What we do
Owners hire us to design the system, to develop the project, or both. The same engineers carry the work from study to commissioning, so decisions made early hold up in the field.
Technical design that is sized to the load, specified for the site, and ready to build and operate.
The work between an idea and a financed, buildable project, led by engineers who know what it takes to deliver.
Capabilities
Power sources, storage, and the controls that tie them together, plus the fuels and facilities that supply and consume that energy.
Sizing, design, and integration of distributed energy resources (DER) in grid-connected and islanded systems for facilities, remote sites, and industrial plants.
Reciprocating engines (RICE) and gas turbines in simple cycle, combined cycle, and CHP. Diesel, natural gas, LPG, and dual-fuel units, from selection to paralleling and plant integration.
Ground-mount and rooftop PV engineered to work alongside storage and thermal generation.
Battery energy storage for backup, peak shaving, and PV firming, with dispatch strategies that match how the site operates.
Controllers that coordinate DER and loads, and move the site between grid and island operation.
Control philosophy, instrumentation, and automation for power and process facilities.
Evaluation and integration of fuel cell systems as clean, firm power for demanding sites.
Engineering and development support for biofuel production and supply projects.
Project development and engineering for SAF facilities, from feedstock and process selection to plant definition.
Engineering and project development for upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities.
Reference scope
The scope below shows how we organize a full microgrid delivery. Every project is sized to its own load, fuel, and grid conditions.
Distributed energy resources (DER) such as generation, solar, wind, and storage on one controlled bus, tied to the electrical grid and able to run on its own.
Approach
Each stage ends with a decision the owner can make with confidence. We scale the depth of each stage to the size and risk of the project.
Load, fuel, site, and goals. We confirm what the system has to do.
Technology options compared on performance, cost, and risk.
FEED and detailed engineering with specifications ready for procurement.
Equipment, controls, and protection brought together and tested.
Start-up support and hand-over to the people who will run it.
About Arits Energy
Arits Energy has spent more than 25 years engineering and developing energy projects. We work across conventional and new energy, which means we can compare options without a preferred answer in advance.
As a women-owned small business, we bring senior engineering attention to every project and the flexibility to work as the owner's engineer, as a design partner, or as a subcontractor to larger teams.
Leadership
Founder & CEO
Sue founded Arits Energy to bring senior engineering leadership to energy projects of every size. She is a licensed Professional Engineer in Control Systems, a Project Management Professional, and holds an MBA. She has more than 25 years of experience leading power generation projects from front-end loading and FEED through construction, commissioning, and startup.
Her work spans oil and gas, LNG, and energy infrastructure, using gas engines, gas and steam turbines, cogeneration, combined cycle, solar PV, and battery energy storage. In the Amazon Forest she directed a $1.2 billion portfolio of more than 100 projects, including seventeen islanded microgrids totaling 500 MW in remote oil fields, dispatched by economic merit under a single energy management system.
Today she leads Arits Energy's work in microgrids, power generation, and renewable fuels, including U.S. Department of Defense microgrid proposals, three of which were awarded. She specializes in multi-source generation, distributed energy resources (DER), power management and microgrid control systems, and medium- and high-voltage systems, and applies API, ASME, IEEE, ISA, IEC 61511, and NFPA standards.
