Company Profile for Active Power, Inc.Active Power designs, manufactures and markets battery-free backup power An additional power source that can be used in the event of power failure. See UPS and backup.  A Half Minute of Backup This roomful of lead acid batteries stands ready to drain itself entirely in less than a minute. products that provide the consistent, reliable electric power required by today's digital economy. An ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001-registered company, Active Power is the first to commercialize a flywheel energy storage Flywheel Energy Storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. The energy is converted back by slowing down the flywheel. system that provides a highly reliable, low cost and non-toxic replacement for lead-acid batteries Noun 1. lead-acid battery - a battery with lead electrodes with dilute sulphuric acid as the electrolyte; each cell generates about 2 volts lead-acid accumulator used in conventional power quality installations. Active Power battery-free backup power solutions deliver ultimate power protection for mission critical operations. Integrated with Active Power's patented flywheel motor-generator technology, CleanSource(R) DC & CleanSource UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply 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. ) systems provide highly reliable back-up power protection while dramatically reducing space and cost. CleanSource DC spans 100kW-2000kW, while CleanSource UPS covers power ratings from 65kVA-3600kVA. CleanSource XR, based on Active Power's new TACAS TACAS Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems (Workshop) TACAS Terminal Access Controller Access System (VPN) TACAS Tubed Artillery Conventional Ammunition System technology, uses thermal and compressed air energy storage Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) refers to the compression of air during periods of low energy demand, for use in meeting periods of higher demand. Typically, compression is done with an electrically powered turbo-compressor; and expansion is done with a natural-gas powered to provide the world's first minute-for-minute alternative to batteries. The system can provide 85kW for 15 minutes, 10kW for 2 hours.
