DER

A brushless motor that runs on long cycle rechargeable batteries during the rotation process. The motor has a very high stating N power and very high RPM, and a remote control system allows to monitor and to lock on the desired RPM. Potential application to high speed permanent magnet generators for power storage + generation in buildings, cargo ships and rail transportation.

Communicates with IoT Platforms including our C2SOS to manage otherwise unsecured distributed energy resources and building automation.

An in-floor energy harvesting solution for commercial properties that captures multiple forms of energy through PV and electromagnetic generation, featuring remote monitoring. The tiles have both indoor and outdoor functionality, but are optimized for operation in parking lots.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will develop a GaN- and SiC-based, utility scale, high power (100 kW), multilevel, medium voltage DC-to-AC inverter that can receive power from sources like batteries or solar panels and transfer it directly to the medium voltage level of the utility grid. The team will also integrate the developed inverter with an existing medium voltage AC-to-DC converter to build a bidirectional solid-state transformer that converts low-voltage AC to high-voltage AC without using heavy, low-frequency materials such as copper and iron in its design. If successful, the project could lead to the first commercially viable medium voltage solid-state transformer, using just a single-stage process to obtain ultra-high efficiency power conversion.
