FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Announcing
the GreenMax Power™ Alternative Energy Blending Controller
Spokane,
WA – August 5, 2002
Virtual
Technologies, Ltd. announces a dramatic leap forward in
alternative energy integration.
Virtual Technologies, Ltd. introduces GreenMax Power™
customized energy blending power controllers.
GreenMax
Power™ controllers allow the seamless blending of alternative
energy sources and utility provided power, in non-grid tied or
“non-sell back” systems.
GreenMax Power™ controllers allow for partial or
incremental conversion to alternative energy sources, while
still providing supplemental energy from the utility grid as
needed. Moreover,
Green Max Power™ controllers are ideal for utilizing
alternative energy sources to supplement standard utility
provided power.
GreenMax
Power™ controllers use a proprietary method of blending power
sources. Unlike
other systems, Virtual Technologies’ GreenMax Power™
controllers do not merely switch between the utility power grid
and an alternative energy source such as solar panels or fuel
cells. These other
designs may produce momentary power outages, voltage spikes, and
other electrical noise that may damage equipment.
More importantly these other older designs do not allow
for the most eco-friendly green energy operation of equipment.
Virtual Technologies’ GreenMax Power™ controllers use
our exclusive proprietary design to constantly blend power
sources and automatically adjust to changing load and power
availability conditions.
In
a typical GreenMax Power™ setting, a large industrial complex
may be outfitted with solar powered evaporative “swamp”
coolers. However, during times of low or inconsistent sunlight, the
solar panels will not produce enough energy for the evaporative
coolers to cool the complex.
By including Virtual Technologies’ GreenMax Power™
controllers, evaporative cooler operation will never be
compromised. This
is because GreenMax Power™ controllers seamlessly blend
additive power from the utility grid to compensate for
shortfalls from the alternative energy source.
Therefore, even during periods of little or no sunlight
the evaporative cooler will continue to run unaffected by
environmental factors. Virtual
Technologies’ GreenMax Power™ controllers ensure that all
connected devices use as much energy as available from the
alternative energy source, before providing supplemental
additive power from the utility grid.
This guarantees that any connected device is operating as
eco-friendly as possible, while still providing operational
stability by using supplemental utility grid energy only when
needed.
Other
typical uses include using solar, hydro, wind, or fuel cell
produced electricity to offset utility grid power consumption. For example solar panels and/or windmills could be used to
provide partial power for a water pumping operation.
This is very useful when financial or other conditions do
not allow for a completely off-grid system.
In this case Virtual Technologies’ GreenMax Power™
controllers seamlessly blend the alternative energy sources with
the grid provided electricity, thereby reducing the amount of
utility provided power used.
Virtual
Technologies’ GreenMax Power™ controllers are now available
as custom components for large-scale installations or as
optimized components for user-defined applications (i.e.,
running pumps, powering motors, charging batteries, etc.).
Virtual Technologies, Ltd. will introduce two standard
models for blending solar energy with 120VAC and 220VAC in the
first quarter of 2003.
Virtual
Technologies, Ltd. specializes in custom designed alternative
energy power electronics, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters,
AC-DC power supplies, frequency and phase converters, MPPT power
supplies, and solar trackers, as well as solar powered well
monitoring and control equipment for the agriculture industry.
Virtual
Technologies, Ltd. is a Spokane, Washington based global
renewable energy, communications, remote control and monitoring
company. Virtual Technologies, Ltd. is a privately owned
corporation. Its web address is www.VirtualTechnologiesLtd.com.
