ASpin Kemp&Associates(AKA)是一家提供创新产品、技术先进的组织 服务和综合系统，主要用于海洋和近海工业。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辆混合动力汽车 拖轮动力系统；提高制造系统和其他服务的能效。这个 该公司热衷于与杜贝博士在这个Engage项目上合作，该项目涉及对 开发一种可利用电能向偏远地区供电的电源箱(PB)装置 可再生能源。目前，使用柴油向这些偏远社区提供电力 发电机。该公司规定，PB设备应设计为接受由 各种能源(如风能、柴油、太阳能)，其中可再生能源具有时变行为。这 行为是基于风能和太阳能组件的动态可变性。一项重大挑战 将从这些来源输送储存的能量，以保持稳定和可靠的供应 最终用户。监测和控制这些联合能源，以便提供可靠和安全的 能源是PB系统商业化的关键。没有各种大小和能量输出的PB装置 都是目前可用的。AKA已经确认杜贝博士和他的研究团队在 先进的自动化和控制，拥有一流的研究实验室进行研发工作 在PB上。该装置具有很高的潜力，可以解决远程发电和供电问题 加拿大社区和研究地点。该解决方案也可以应用于世界各地的其他地点。 PB可以改善这些偏远社区的生活质量，并刺激商业计划。 AKA非常热衷于与杜贝博士合作，因为他们都认识到拟议的PB具有很高的商业化 潜力，以及在使用化石燃料时减少温室气体污染物的机制。

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.
