The multi-year program will fund PPS to develop an advanced power conditioning system for marine and hydrokinetic power generating applications, using PPS’ Distributed Generation Transformer and E-QUAD Power Flow Control technologies.
As per the program, PPS will advance its power conditioning technologies in order to make marine distributed power applications more efficient, less expensive, and more reliable.
In addition, PPS will work on combining advanced energy storage into the power conditioning system, in order to make power output smooth, reliable, and predictable.
With the awarded funding, Princeton Power Systems will develop the power conditioning system from prototype development to commercial deployment.
The technologies will also allow for low-cost high-voltage DC transmission (HVDC) directly to shore.
