Original Press Release:
Power Distribution System Provides DC Links for Renewable Power Sources
A new micro-grid power distribution system for the simple integration of wind and solar power generators by transmitting DC power is being introduced by Diversified Technologies, Inc. of Bedford, Massachusetts.
The PowerMod(TM) Micro-Grid Power Distribution System features direct solid-state switching and includes a DC power supply, DC cable and down converter for providing AC or DC power at the load end point. Eliminating the limits of AC point-to-point installation, a generator or load can be placed any-where along the cable which is suitable for up to 1 Megawatt power transfer.
Providing constant 10 kV DC transmission at up to hundreds of kilometers, the PowerMod(TM) Micro-Grid Power Distribution System uses PowerMod(TM) High Voltage Solid-State Switch Modules that provide over 1-million hour predicted reliability per MIL-HDBK-217F.
The PowerMod(TM) Micro-Grid Power Distribution System offers a link cost as low as $1.00 per watt, depending upon configuration, claims the firm.
