Power VYCON Introduces Hybrid VDC XEB Energy Storage System Vycon has introduced its new Hybrid VDC XEB flywheel system. The VDC XEB combines flywheel technology with batteries in one patent pending integrated system. Now with the combination of batteries, users who need more backup time can utilize the reliability and green aspects of the flywheel system with minutes of extra runtime from the batteries. Providing up to 300 kW of power, the Hybrid VDC XEB protects power dependent applications such as data centers, healthcare facilities, industrial control systems and other missioncritical operations. Upon a prolonged power outage, the VDC XEB will transfer to onsite generators. According to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), 80 percent of all utility power disturbances last less than two seconds and 98 percent last less than 10 seconds. The VDC XEB’s ability to offer extended runtime gives users further peace of mind for applications including those with automatic transfer switch (ATS) time delays and/or synchronization time requirements for multiple generators. Additionally, for users of the VDC XEB requiring higher power, up to four VDC XEB systems can be paralleled for longer autonomy and/or redundancy. Compatible with all major brands of three-phase UPSs, the Hybrid VDC XEB connects to the DC bus of a UPS. Receiving charging current from the UPS, the VDC XEB provides clean DC power to the UPS during discharge. The 99.4 percent efficient system includes technology consisting of a flywheel hub formed from aerospace-grade steel, a high-speed permanent magnet motor generator, a contact-free magnetic levitation system and a touch-screen display that provides vital information on system performance. Vycon’s flywheel systems incorporate a host of advanced features that make the systems easy to use, maintain and monitor such as self-diagnostics (including the batteries), log files, adjustable voltage settings, RS-232/485 interface, alarm status contacts, soft-start pre-charge from the DC bus and push-button shutdown. Available options include DC disconnect, remote monitoring, Modbus and SNMP communications and real-time monitoring software. 1,500 VA, 2,200 VA and 3,000 VA configurations, can be placed in an equipment rack or installed as a stand-alone tower in close proximity to the critical load. The SSG series provides users with an improved level of battery monitoring and replacement notification, as well as user-friendly, hot-swappable battery packs. Slide-out battery packs are replaced through the UPS front panel, without having to remove the UPS from the equipment rack, eliminating the handling of individual batteries and the associated wiring hassles. The SSG Series is a true regenerative on-line UPS that is designed to give users the highest level of protection against a wide spectrum of power problems. It provides a continuous, clean, tightly regulated power source from the most polluted incoming AC power source. The SSG series acts as an electronic firewall between incoming dirty power and sensitive micro-processorbased programmable logic controllers, computers and automated systems found in these industrial environments. For unattended OS shutdown and easy monitoring of the UPS system, Falcon’s UPSilon shutdown and management software supports Windows platforms including Windows 7 and server version 2008 RX, as well as Novell NetWare5 and 6, LINUX and FreeBSD. For remote management, users may purchase an optional SNMP/ HTTP agent board that installs directly inside the UPS and provides a TCP-IP addressable, 10/100 Ethernet communications for remote monitoring and management. Curtiss-Wright Controls Electronic Systems Introduces 3U OpenVPX Smart Power Supply Falcon Electric Adds Lightweight 10-Year Rated Lithium-Ion Batteries to SSG Series UPSs Falcon Electric, Inc. has added lithium-ion batteries as an option to its 1,500 VA model of its SSG series industrial grade UPS plus. Lithium-ion chemistry offers several advantages over valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries including less weight, longer runtimes and higher energy density. The SSG series is a true double-conversion on-line sinewave regenerative UPS that provides military, aerospace and industrial applications with a high level of power protection that tolerates many of the elements found in these harsh environments. Due to its rugged design, SSG series is capable of withstanding elevated temperatures of up to 131ºF. The SSG series, which is available in 16 Curtiss-Wright Controls Electronic Systems (CWCES) has introduced a 3U OpenVPX (VITA 62) and VPX (VITA 48.2) smart power supply. This small form factor, rugged power supply module provides up to 279 W of power to mission critical OpenVPX systems. Designed for deployment in military applications, the CWCES power supply includes advanced features such as an integrated Nuclear Event Detector (NED) and crowbar for radiation tolerant applications, and a holdup circuitry for full protection against MIL-STD-704 and MILSTD-1275 transients. This open architecture smart power supply module speeds and simplifies the integration and maintenance of intelligent rugged power supplies into applications such as ground vehicles, fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft, shipboard equipment and integrated modular systems. The smart power supply conforms to the 3U VPX (VITA 48.2 / VITA 62) form factor and is offered in a 1.0 inch pitch single slot configuration. Fully rugged, the module is available in conduction cooled and Level 2 maintenance variants.This fully-featured intelligent power supply supports built-in tests (BIT) and software programmability to enable rapid system development.
