Railroads
Since the early 1980's, we've helped railroad customers tackle their critical
prime and back-up wayside power challenges with fully engineered and innovative
solutions ranging from a few watts to several kilowatts. We can provide reliable
prime & backup power systems for highway crossings, intermediate signals,
control points, track circuits, slide fences, PTC upgrades, AEI devices, hot box
detectors, switch machines, cameras & surveillance systems, telecom stations,
and much more!
Solar Power Systems
Solar Power Systems provide a reliable and proven source of DC power
by converting sunlight directly into electricity. Solar Power
Systems are a good fit for railroad wayside applications because they're
very economical, require very little maintenance and have no ongoing
fueling requirements. Over the years we've designed and offered a variety of system configurations to
meet virtually any of your budget and/or site requirements. Site
surveys available.
RP Series Retractable Mast
Our innovative RP Series Retractable Mast is the industry's first
retractable mast system that provides a safe and convenient solution for
mounting solar arrays to a pole structure at ground level. The system
can be raised and lowered via a hand-crank or power drill for safe and
easy installation, maintenance and replacement. Due to the fact
that the Mast raises and lowers along the same axis, the system remains
operational no matter what position its in.
Fuel Cells
Ultra-USSI's P250i Solid Oxide Fuel Cells provide a reliable source
of DC power by converting chemical energy into electricity. Powered by
low cost propane or natural gas, the P250i is capable of providing days,
weeks and even months of reliable, clean, extended-run backup power
protection to charge batteries at highway crossings, signals and other
equipment along the wayside, ensuring trains remain operational.
Battery Boxes
Our robust Battery Boxes are
designed to shield and protect battery systems located in harsh outdoor
environments. Constructed of all-welded aluminum (steel
constructon also available) and featuring fully insulated panels, these
battery boxes provide excellent protection for your batteries. We
offer several standard sizes and can provide a high level of
customization.
NEW - Stirling Engines
The Qnergy SmartGen Remote Power Generator combines the high
efficiency Free Piston Stirling Engine (FPSE) technology with advanced
combustion capabilities to efficiently transform propane, well gas
and natural gas into electricity. The external combustion engine
and automatic control system enable the generator to produce steady,
dependable power in the 4kW to 6kW range and a design life of 60,000
hours.
Thermoelectric Generators
Gentherm is the world's leading manufacturer of Thermoelectric
Generators (TEGs). TEG's are designed to run on either propane or
natural gas and range in output size from 15 to 550 watts (can be
combined to 5kW). TEGs feature rugged designs, making them ideal for
long-term unattended operation in remote locations that may be exposed
to harsh weather conditions or where site visits are difficult.
