The prototype calls for a ruggedized and transportable version of the PECC, offering the ability to integrate multiple renewable energy sources for providing power in a variety of military applications that currently rely on power derived solely from diesel generators.
ZBB contracted with a provider of mobile defense solutions for this initiative to integrate the ZBB PECC technology as an integral component of a ‘self-contained’ micro-grid that combines advanced energy storage, multiple renewable energy inputs and conventional diesel gen-sets into a resourceful and easily transportable power platform.
The platforms are designed to be efficiently deployed to semi-permanent operating bases, remote facilities and other military locations able to leverage renewable energy sources to minimize the use of diesel generators, the company said.
