The sMV-28-500 from Astrodyne Power Supplies functions as an all-in-one AC/DC module that has been integrated into an Alternative Energy Storage and Distribution System (AESaDS) – which is a portable hybrid voltaic/battery power system used for power storage on the battlefield.
The sMV-28-500 from Astrodyne Power Supplies functions as an all-in-one AC/DC module that has been integrated into an Alternative Energy Storage and Distribution System (AESaDS) – which is a portable hybrid voltaic/battery power system used for power storage on the battlefield. Instead of fossil fuels, the AESaDS leverages alternative energy sources such as solar to provide reliable power to warfighters, reducing the need for excess fuel resupply in remote locations.
Each stackable 1,600-watt rechargeable battery and solar array provides 300 W of continuous electricity, and any excess energy is collected and stored in high-density batteries for later use when an alternative energy source is unavailable. The AESaDS provides AC/DC power to charge computing, communications, and targeting devices. AESaDS underwent continuous power testing during the development phase of ambient temperatures as high as 116 °F, and provided 85 percent of the rated energy even under the extreme temperature. AESaDS is also transportable so can be deployed rapidly in heavy shock and vibration environments.
