First Lithium (LiFeMgPO4) Solar Generator

mobile solar generator lithium battery
This lithium-ion Model MS-150 solar generator is the result of a series of evolutional design changes that came about after the disaster in Japan in March of 2011. Built on the small MS-150 platform, and containing a LiFeMgPO4 battery bank rated at 690AH (@24VDC), it’s able to satisfy a variety of application demands.

  • Customer: (name not released)
  • Solar: 3 Sanyo 220-watt modules – total array: 660 Watts
  • Battery: 690AH at 24VDC
  • Inverter: 3.5KW pure sine-wave (6kW surge)
This Lithium-Ion (LiFeMgPO4) battery bank is rated at 690Amp-hours (@ 24VDC) and weighs less than half of its lead-acid counterpart. The lighter weight, coupled with Lithium's ability to charge and discharge at a much more rapid rate, gives this little unit the strength it needs to handle serious power loads.

Idaho National Laboratory, Mobile Grid-Tie System

mobile3
Designed for the Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory, this model MS-375 is outfitted with Outback Power’s grid-interactive inverter/chargers –- allowing it to be hooked into different locations at the INL’s testing facility in Idaho Falls, ID. The electrical engineers working on the project hope to learn more about how they can effectively respond to a coordinated attack on our nation’s electrical grid.

  • Customer: Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC
  • Solar: 16 Sanyo 210-watt modules – total array: 3.36kW
  • Battery: 1,568AH at 24VDC 
  • Inverter: 7KW pure sine-wave, grid-tie capable
   

Verizon Wireless - Mobile Cell Station

mobile-verizon
This system was designed to power a remote, mountain-top cell tower in Northern Nevada. Initially needed to supply signal to a temporary worker camp, this model MS-250 will most likely spend decades transmitting signal for Verizon Wireless in other locations.

  • Customer: Verizon Wireless
  • Solar: 9 Suntech 175-watt modules – total array: 1.58kW
  • Battery: 1,150AH at 24VDC  
  • Inverter: 3.5kW pure sine-wave 
   

U.S. Air Force Reserve, Savannah, GA

As part of the US Army’s continuing efforts to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel, the airbase at Savannah’s Hunter Field was chosen as a test site for a new cost-saving technology. 

The goal was to create a large, dehumidified environment in which certain electric ground-support vehicles could be stored while not in use.  The dehumidified structure protects the electric vehicles from corrosion – prolonging their service life and reducing maintenance costs.

  • Customer: Mandaree Enterprise Corporation
  • Solar: 16 Sanyo 190-watt modules, total array: 3.04kW
  • Battery: 1,568AH at 24VDC
  • Inverter: 7kW pure sine-wave
    Diesel Genset: 5kW Onan HDKBC

 
   

U.S. Army

During the height of the War in Iraq, the US Army was investing heavily in technologies designed to combat the threat of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) – the most common killer of US service men and women in Iraq.  SAIC worked with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design and test a system that would assist in identifying potential IED threats.  This system was being tested under the POSSE program at Fort Irwin – in the Mojave Desert, near Barstow, CA.
