"The Navy is hopeful that the control technology and modeling and
simulation, being developed by Princeton Power, will lead to improved
electrical system integration flexibility, improved functionality and
increased power conversion power density," stated Mr. This technology can be used in
the industrial motor control , renewable electricity and distributed
power generation markets, and will reduce industrial energy
consumption, lower peak electric usage, and provide clean, renewable
energy sources at a much lower cost than existing power conversion
technologies. AC-link uses simpler,
more reliable components and incorporates advanced algorithms for
controlling various aspects of the electric power, which allows the
use of less- complex, less expensive hardware to achieve precision
power control.
