The University of Georgia's Marine Institute on Sapelo Island has been the site of coastal research since 1953. Investigators into salt marsh environments have used this research facility as resident and visiting scientists, and the Institute has undergone renewed growth during the past decade. Due to its remote location, separated from the mainland by six miles of marshland, the Institute is subject to electrical brownouts and complete power failures. Dr. James Alberts, Director of the Institute, proposes to install an uninterruptible power source. This backup system would eliminate brownouts and would provide continuous electricity for 30 minutes following power failures. The Institute's backup generator system would provide electricity beyond this 30 minute interval. The proposed installation of an uninterruptible power source would have an important impact on the Institute's research capabilities. Researchers at the Institute must rely on uninterrupted electricity for controlled growing environments, culture growth chambers, and continuous environmental monitoring systems. Brownouts and power failures can destroy months and years of research effort. The proposed power supply will support continued growth of the Institute's research impact.

自1953年以来，萨佩洛岛上的乔治亚大学海洋研究所一直是海岸研究的地点。研究盐沼环境的研究人员利用这个研究设施作为常驻和访问科学家，该研究所在过去十年中经历了新的发展。由于地理位置偏远，与大陆相隔6英里的沼泽地，研究所经常停电和完全停电。研究所所长詹姆斯·阿尔伯茨博士建议安装不间断电源。这个备用系统将消除限电，并在停电后提供30分钟的持续电力。研究所的备用发电机系统将在这30分钟间隔之外提供电力。拟议安装的不间断电源将对研究所的研究能力产生重要影响。研究所的研究人员必须依靠不间断的电力来控制生长环境、培养生长室和连续的环境监测系统。限电和停电会毁掉数月甚至数年的研究成果。拟议的电力供应将支持研究所研究影响的持续增长。
