Up The Grid - Microgrids have been a topic of research at
the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory since 1996 and at
the Electric Power Research Institute since at least 2000.

Power is selected as the Texas Emerging Technology Fund Recipient.
The Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and the Central Texas
Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization (CenTex
RCIC) announced the state of Texas has Chosen Xtreme Power,
Inc., as a recipient of an award funded through the Texas
Emerging Technology Fund (ETF). Xtreme Power will recive a
$2,000,000 project grant to help accelerate commercialization
of its largescale load leveling products. Click

October
25, 2006 – Xtreme Power of Kyle, Texas
announced the delivery of a 200KW primary power system to
be used at the South Pole to smooth the load requirements
of a new telescope. The project is coordinated by scientists
at the University of Chicago; four other US universities,
and the National Science Foundation. View
project here.
The Xtreme
Power System will provide primary power to the telescope to
reduce the peak power demand needs. With a 200kw peak capacity
and a 100Kwhr of storage the system will also provide close
to one hour of backup power (UPS.) The combined system will
be installed in the telescope control room and require no
special environmental controls.
The current
South Pole station power plant is unable to manage the high
peak power demands of the telescope. With the Xtreme Power
system, the power system will see a smooth load while the
peaks and regenerative negative pulses caused by the Telescope’s
rotations are all absorbed into Xtreme Power’s patented
power cell. The result is a predictable, constant load on
the power plant and a continuous operation at the Telescope.
Furthermore, the Xtreme Power System has the ability to run
for over one hour of operation independent of the power grid.
The testing
for the system was conducted at the Xtreme Power facility
in Kyle, Texas and included representatives from the National
Science Foundation, Raytheon Polar Service and University
of Chicago. The system was tested with over 200kw peaks, negative
40kw regenerative peaks and UPS lengths of one hour. The system
was accepted and is in route to the South Pole Station.
“This
order shows Xtreme Power’s ability to deliver Load Leveling/UPS
systems.” said Carlos Coe President of Xtreme Power,
located in Kyle, Texas. “The power plant facility
at the South Pole is already experiencing peak demand challenges
and we are happy to be able to offer a solution that allows
for uninterrupted scientific work without electricity brown-out
concerns,” he added.
Xtreme
Power offers customers Load Leveling and Power Back-Up systems
from a 100kW through Megawatt range of products. The solutions
offer low total cost, high reliability, small footprint, high
efficiency, long life and almost no maintenance.
About
The South Pole Telescope
A new 10-meter diameter telescope is being constructed for
use at the U.S. Antarctic Program’s South Pole research
station. The telescope is designed for conducting large-area
millimeter and sub-millimeter wave surveys of faint, low contrast
emission, as required to map primary and secondary anisotropies
in the cosmic microwave background. The SPT is collaboration
between the U of Chicago, UC Berkley, Case Western Reserve
University, U of Illinois, and Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
It is primarily funded though the National Science Foundation’s
office of Polar Programs. View more on the South Pole Telescope
