TOMSK, Dec
16 – RIA Tomsk, Karina Sapunova. Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University
(TPU) and the Elesy company work on creation of power complexes which will be
able to work in any weather conditions – from deserts to the Polar region, the
press service of thr higher education institution reported on Friday.
"In a
joint project the Elesy company develops electronics and technical supply, and
polytechnicians – the software, that "mind" which will make system
intellectual. The system will consist of two parts – the autonomous energy
complex (AEC) and the hybrid uninterruptible power supply unit", – it is
told in the message.
It is
specified that AEK will be able to receive energy from several sources at once
– the sun, winds, diesel generators, micro hydroelectric power station.
Installation is equipped with the solar panel and wind generators of different
types. It is possible to use them separately and in complex.

According to
the press service, the complex gives 15 kW of energy that is enough for service
of the majority of small autonomous objects, for example, polar and
meteorological stations, shutoff valves and latches on pipelines, locators,
elevators in high-rise buildings (autonomous supply can be useful at shutdown
of the central power supply) and another. And 700 W are necessary for own needs
of the installation.
"Installation
is suitable for work in extreme conditions. For example, in the Arctic or in a
desert. <…> AEK will be capable to maintain temperatures from minus 60 to
plus 50 degrees with strong wind gusts. In such conditions installation will be
capable to work the whole year without refueling and service. It will be
possible to operate it and to obtain information on it state remotely", –
the higher education institution noted.
It is added
that in the future the developers intend to get support of Foundation for
Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises. It will allow to create a power
complex prototype, and further – a commercial sample.
