The design and development of a power box system for powering remote population clusters

Aspin肯普& Associates（AKA）是一家提供创新产品、技术先进 服务和集成系统，主要面向海洋和近海工业。AKA的产品和服务 范围广泛，包括：先进的发电机保护系统;系统自动化;替代能源， 包括风能和太阳能解决方案;混合动力技术，包括交付世界上第一个混合动力 拖船电力系统;提高制造系统和其他服务的能源效率。的 该公司热衷于与Dubay博士在这个Engage项目上合作，该项目涉及对以下方面进行研究： 开发一种电力盒（PB）设备，可以通过利用 可再生能源。目前，这些偏远社区的电力都是用柴油提供的。 发生器.该公司规定，PB装置的设计应接受由 各种来源（例如，风能、柴油机、太阳能），其中可再生资源可以具有时变行为。这 性能是基于风能和太阳能组件的动态变化。一项重大挑战 将是从这些来源提供储存的能源，以维持稳定和可靠的供应， 最终用户。监测和控制这些组合能源，以提供可靠和安全的 能源是PB系统商业化的关键。没有各种尺寸和能量输出的PB装置 目前可用的。AKA已经确定Dubay博士和他的研究团队在以下方面具有很高的专业知识： 先进的自动化和控制与一流的研究实验室进行研究和开发工作 在PB上。该装置具有很高的潜力，以解决能源的产生和供应问题，以远程 加拿大社区和研究地点。该解决方案也可以应用于全球其他地区。 PB可以改善这些偏远社区的生活质量，并刺激商业活动。 AKA非常希望与Dubay博士合作，因为他们都认识到拟议的PB具有很高的商业化价值 这不仅是一个潜在的问题，也是一个在使用化石燃料时减少温室污染物的机制。

Aspin Kemp & Associates (AKA) is an organization delivering innovative products, technically advanced services, and integrated systems, primarily to the marine and offshore industry. AKA's products and services are wide ranging, including: advanced generator protection systems; system automation; alternative energies, including wind and solar power solutions; hybrid technologies, including the delivery of the world's first hybrid tugboat power system; increased energy efficiency for manufacturing systems and a host of other services. The company is keen on working with Dr. Dubay on this Engage project that involves conducting research on developing a Power-Box (PB) device that can supply electrical energy to remote places by harnessing renewable energy sources. Currently, electrical every is provide to these remote communities using diesel generators. The company specifies that the PB device should be designed to accept electricity generated by various sources (e.g. wind, diesel, solar), where the renewable sources can have time-varying behavior. This behavior is based on the dynamic variability of the wind and solar energy components. A major challenge would be the delivering of the stored energy from these sources to maintain a steady and reliable supply to end-users. The monitoring and control of these combined energy sources in order to provide reliable and safe energy is key to commercialization of the PB system. There is no PB device of various sizes and energy output that are currently available. AKA has identified Dr. Dubay and his research team as having high expertise in advanced automation and controls with a first class research lab to conduct the research and development work on the PB. The device has high potential to solve the energy generation and supply problem to remote Canadian communities and research locations. The solution can also be applied to other locations worldwide. The PB can improve the quality of life to these remote communities as well as stimulating business initiatives. AKA is very keen to work with Dr. Dubay as they both recognize the proposed PB has high commercialization potential, as well as providing a mechanism on reducing greenhouse pollutants when using fossil fuels.
