A new micro-grid power distribution system for the simple integration of wind and solar power generators by transmitting DC power is being introduced. The PowerMod™ Micro-Grid Power Distribution System features direct solid-state switching and includes a DC power supply, DC cable and down converter for providing AC or DC power at the load end point. Eliminating the limits of AC point-to-point installation, a generator or load can be placed any-where along the cable which is suitable for up to 1 Megawatt power transfer. Providing constant 10 kV DC transmission at up to hundreds of kilometers, the PowerMod™ Micro-Grid Power Distribution System uses PowerMod™ High Voltage Solid-State Switch Modules that provide over 1-million hour predicted reliability per MIL-HDBK-217F.
