DC HYBRID Power System
The DC HYBRID Power System is a versatile solution for clients in rural and remote areas to obtain the most effective use from their available energy supply, be it off-grid alternative energy sources, single wire earth return, or a combination of both. Its customised DC HYBRID power distribution system delivers market-leading efficiencies and is compatible with AC infrastructure and appliances.
In a Remote Area Power application, the system is complimented by a new cost-effective inverter design that can be configured to generate either single-phase or three-phase voltage, replacing the need for costly diesel generators.
This innovative power system can increase overall system efficiency when energy is either being stored or generated as DC. Potential applications include stand-alone power systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), co-generation and renewable energy integration within a building.
