Sustainable Energy CTO Brent Harris said AC coupled microgrids were rapidly emerging as the next-generation off-grid system due to their flexible and modular design.

"Its unique open control easily accommodates emerging low-voltage battery technologies and greatly facilitates system design," Harris said.

Designed to support easy integration withpower management systems, the inverter facilitates full utility control over the battery dispatch and power quality functions, and is also capable of addressing a range of demanding utility smart grid standards, including Germany’s VDE 4105.

"Its unique open control easily accommodates emerging low-voltage battery technologies and greatly facilitates system design."

The army is seeking intelligent microgrids that can use both renewable and traditional energy sources to deliver reliable power in remote locations, eventually helping the service reduce its fossil fuels use and save soldiers lives by decreasing the requirements for fuel transport.
