Power Augmentation System

(ICO300)

2 Power Augmentation System

Customer Background

The customer makes solid state power augmentation systems that are

high performance, safe, sustainable, and cost-effective. This unique combination of

attributes delivers industry-leading value for customers to lower their energy cost by

eliminating power spikes in the power grid. A battery system is optimized for

businesses that have large machines, augmenting the startup power required by using

battery power to start machines up each morning. With special power inversion

technology these large battery array systems provide flexible short term power

capabilities that optimizes the existing power infrastructure to minimize energy

penalties for large power spikes during high demand times of day. This is done by

charging the power system batteries at night when demand is low and power rates are

low, then reused in the morning to start machines up again.


Challenge

The customer needed an off the shelf system to run Linux, was DIN rail

mountable, built to be reliable, and offered the ability to communicate via

LAN or cellular network to monitor their system performance and statistics.

Initially they considered the rBOX610 with RISC CPU. After considering the

added work for software development and sustaining the software, they

changed direction to use a x86 PC compatible system which costs more and

uses more power.


Application

• Stationary power storage systems, using Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.

• Energy companies endorse this idea to help minimize grid spikes in the power infrastructure, helping to smooth out power usage to prevent brown outs during high use timeframes.

• Electrical rates will continue to grow. This product helps minimize cost of energy.

• ROI for most applications is 2-3 years due to energy savings. Systems will last 5-7 years estimated.
