TUV Rheinland of North America has certified SunMizer DC Power Optimizer to both European and United States safety standards. This was announced by the Solar Division of Xandex Inc. The company had developed SunMizer DC Power Optimizer for solar panels.
Paladin SmartGrid software platform has been unveiled by EDSA, a chief developer of power analytics solutions for the management, design and testing of complex electrical power systems. Paladin SmartGrid software platform is a recently developed software solution that helps in removing a significant barrier that prevents the spread of the usage of alternative energy. This new software platform is a “master controller” since it enables the use of distributed and on-premise energy sources that include local co-generation, wind and solar without affecting the reliability of utility grid.
The Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority has awarded a grant to Axion Power International, a developer of lead-carbon PbC batteries. This grant will be utilized to develop and deploy an Axion PowerCube battery energy storage system with the usage of Axion Power International’s proprietary PbC battery technology. This 500 kilowatt PowerCube will be constructed and installed at the New Castle battery manufacturing facility. The PowerCube battery energy storage system will be designed to improve a future solar-powered electric vehicle charging station, a potential wind-powered energy system and a Smart Grid distribution system.
Northern Power Systems has selected Analog Devices’ SHARC digital signal processors for use in the company’s Northwind 100 community-scale wind turbines. The Northwind 100 wind turbine utilizes an advanced ‘digital drivetrain’ and the wind turbines are capable of delivering 100 kW of rated power for community-scale wind applications such as municipalities, schools, universities, farms and businesses. By incorporating SHARC digital signal processors, data converters and other ADI components in the Northwind 100’s Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) design, the need for a gearbox is eliminated.
