Press Release Summary:
Combined Heat and Power EnergyNow(TM) Generator Sets convert natural gas to electric power for peak demand or stand-by applications. Controller allows them to automatically interface with utility company supply lines and switch on during peak power usage periods, or run continuously to provide clean electricity, independent of unpredictable delivery systems in traditional network.
Original Press Release:
I Power Adds Emergency Stand-by Generators to Product Line
New product line added to fill homeland security and emergency applications
ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 14 // -- I Power Energy Systems has developed and delivered a line of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) prime power units and has expanded product lines to include stand-by generators for emergency and peak-demand availability (peak shaving). The new EnergyNow(TM) generator sets convert natural gas to electric power for peak shaving or stand-by applications, such as for commercial or industrial, hospitals and homeland security-related facilities.
I Power's COO Terry Pahls announced the new applications of I Power Technology: "We want to be very clear that this application of our durability, emissions and low-noise technologies is an addition to our CHP prime power units. Although we have no intention of de-emphasizing our commitment to our primary, full-time generator, product lines or competing in the traditional short-life stand-by generator business, we will be responsive to customers who have very specific and critical supply needs."
Unlike traditional diesel stand-by power generators, I Power systems are designed to efficiently produce electricity without polluting the environment and are equipped with a proprietary controller that allows the system to automatically interface with the utility company supply lines and switch on during peak power usage periods, or run continuously to provide clean, low- cost electricity, totally independent of the unpredictable delivery systems in the traditional network that may be increasingly vulnerable to blackouts or natural disasters.
Pahls noted, "The widely used I Power CHP units are providing diversified customers with effective solutions to problems associated with the current utility power grids and generation capacity limitations that are plaguing part of our country today. I Power units in California serve to insulate our customers from these problems. Arranged as a single unit or interconnected in a Multi-Pak(TM) configuration, I Power units based in Michigan serve as both standby and peak shaving functions to ensure a continuous supply of electricity to critical operations while reducing overall electric costs.
"Proactive communities and business leaders realize that power outages are increasing in frequency and causing significant economic loss and unnecessary human hardship. We are seeing new concepts to provide electric service redundancy through the use of CHP units. Supplying both electricity and heat to critical areas of operations, I Power systems enable hospitals to be totally independent of the grid, hence not susceptible to power outages."
I Power Chairman Michael Hudson noted, "During my years in the large gas turbine business, we helped the large grids with peaking units at critical points in the distribution systems. The use of I Power units places the blackout solution directly at the point of the individual user's requirement to protect their activities and investments. Protection from power outages is one of the best insurance measures a business owner can install. It's much more cost efficient to eliminate the major cause of perishable loss and lost revenues than try to negotiate claims with your insurance adjuster. In fact, we are planning to meet with major insurers to discuss possible policy rate reductions for certain I Power commercial applications that will experience significantly reduced risks with reliable I Power Energy System."
I Power Energy Systems is the Corporate Sponsor and a Technology Partner of the Flagship Enterprise Center, a City of Anderson, Purdue and Anderson Universities-affiliated business incubator, located at I-69, Exit 22.
