Product Name: Indy Multi-Flex
Product Description
The Multi-FlexÔ
is a hardware and software system for
managing energy. The Multi-FlexÔ
platform is fully scalable, from handheld
electrical devices to the Grid. A provisional patent has been filed for the
invention. The
Multi-FlexÔ
offers the military solutions to the
following power management problems:
¨ Electrical Device
Power Management.
¨ Battery and Cell
Management.
¨ Microgrid
Management.
Electrical Device Power Management
With the proliferation of electronic devices deployed in the
military, it is increasingly difficult to maintain adequate inventories of
batteries and power units required for each device’s operation. Further, the
Warfighter must carry an increasing number of different power units into the
field to operate critical electronic devices. Indy Power Systems has developed a
mechanism that can use any power source, or any number of power sources, to
power any electrical device. The mechanism, referred to as the Multi-Flex Ô,
can operate in a bi-directional fashion so that power can be distributed to
either a load (powering a device) or pulled from a source (generation/recharge).
The Multi-FlexÔ
could reduce the number of power units
deployed in the field and the
Warfighter would have more flexibility in operations.
The practical impact of the
Multi-FlexÔ
will be to enable the Warfighter to use
any battery or power source at hand to power any device desired. For example,
power from a locomotive, golf cart, wheel chair or scooter battery could be used
to power any device deployed. TheMulti-FlexÔ
is completely scalable so that it
can work with the smallest electrical device up to the largest, including the
electric power grid. TheMulti-FlexÔ
corrects voltages so the voltage is
not a concern as long as the power is available. The microprocessor within the
Multi-Flex Ô
can be programmed to work with any
existing power unit, and a quick software download can configure theMulti-FlexÔ
to work with new power unit
profiles as desired.
Battery and Cell Management
Indy Power Systems can manage individual battery cells in a real
time and contemporaneous method, allowing precise management of Li-ion and Pb-A
battery packs and cells within those packs. The Indy Power Systems methodology
can greatly minimize or eliminate thermal events within battery packs and can
lengthen the life of batteries.
Microgrid Management
The Multi-FlexÔ
can also manage and blend power
from multiple power sources such as wind, solar, batteries, fuel cells, and
combustion driven generators for electric power grid applications. TheMulti-FlexÔ
is efficient and can be programmed
for remote power generation, emergency backup, peak power shaving, and load
balancing. TheMulti-FlexÔ
can optimize and blend multiple
power units, extending their useful lives.
