Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ACPW ACPW Asymmetrical Coplanar Waveguide ACPW Advisory Committee of the Purity of Water (Australia) ), an innovator in battery-free power quality and energy storage solutions and recent winner of Frost & Sullivan's 2003 Product Line Strategy award, will showcase its newest CleanSource(R) flywheel Uninterruptible Power Supplies See UPS. (hardware) Uninterruptible Power Supply - (UPS) A battery powered power supply unit that is guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of interruptions in the incoming mains electrical power. (UPSs) during NAB in booth number SU6157. These ground-breaking power protection systems deliver the highest level of power availability, conditioning, and harmonics cancellation for sensitive digital broadcast systems. During the show, technical experts from Active Power will be available to discuss broadcasters' specific power requirements and how they can maximize broadcast uptime and transmission reliability. Making their show debut, Active Power's new 65 to 130kVA CleanSource flywheel-based UPSs protect broadcast networks, transmitters and microwave uplinks from the most common power disturbances that can interrupt broadcasts. These new systems meet the demands of today's broadcast facilities and eliminate the need for bulky, high maintenance battery-based units. "Our battery-free CleanSource systems are giving broadcasters such as ABC News
ABC News is a division of American television and radio network ABC, owned by The Walt Disney Company. Its current president is David Westin. and Telemundo the highest level of power quality and uptime," stated Sriram Sivaram, vice president of marketing for Active Power. "Our newest 65 to 130kVA models are ideal for facilities that require clean power with low maintenance, quiet operation and a small footprint." Combining a rugged steel flywheel with solid-state power electronics, Active Power's CleanSource technology incorporates a proven flywheel motor-generator that stores kinetic energy kinetic energy: see energy. kinetic energy Form of energy that an object has by reason of its motion. The kind of motion may be translation (motion along a path from one place to another), rotation about an axis, vibration, or any combination of in its constantly spinning, quiet, low-friction steel disc. Stored energy from the flywheel is instantly converted to electricity that powers the critical load during short power fluctuations. During prolonged power outages This is a list of famous wide-scale power outages. 1965
stand-by generator n → générateur m de secours stand-by generator n for continuous power. In addition, the CleanSource units' advanced power electronics shield transmitter tubes against faulty power and easily handle "crowbar" events -- automatically switching to bypass and supplying the desired current for constant and stable operation.
