Uninterruptible Power Source System to Support Facilities/ Equipment at the Marine Institute

佐治亚大学位于萨佩洛岛的海洋研究所自1953年以来一直是海岸研究的地点。盐沼环境的调查人员使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增长。由于地处偏远，与大陆相隔六英里的沼泽地，研究所经常受到电力中断和完全停电的影响。该研究所所长詹姆斯·阿尔伯茨博士建议安装一个不间断电源。这个后备系统将消除限电，并将在停电后提供30分钟的持续电力。该研究所的备用发电机系统将在这30分钟间隔后提供电力。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。该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、培养生长室和持续的环境监测系统。停电和停电可能会破坏数月乃至数年的研究成果。拟议的电力供应将支持研究所研究影响的持续增长。

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.
