GENERAL INFORMATION, THEORY OF OPERATION,
AND EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
PRO-Verter Introduction
The primary function of a Portable Remote Operation – Inverter/Charger (PRO-Verter) is to serve as
the central power management device in a circuit where both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct
Current (DC) are present and being used.
There are several sources for AC and DC power today, but a PRO-Verter is designed specifically
for operation between energy-storage batteries (DC) and a fuel-driven generator or utility/grid (AC)
power. When being used with a portable fuel-driven generator and a bank of batteries, it creates a
“Hybrid” power model that allows energy storage technologies to play a critical role in applications
where the any combination of the following is necessary:
• Backup power for critical loads when the primary power source fails
• Reducing generator burdens (fuel consumption, wet-stacking, maintenance, or logistic support)
• Durations of “silent” operation are critical
• Use of renewable power generation is desirable
• Less reliance on grid/utility power is desirable (Peak Shaving)
• Supporting generators during periods of overloading (Load Support)
• Temporary replacement of inadequate grid or generator power during periods of peak power
demand (Peak Power Delivery)
A PRO-Verter is a modular, portable component of the Hybrid Power System (HPS) Architecture,
and its flexible function and design allows the operator to use it with other technologies/capabilities
that collectively meet the specific mission requirements for an application.
PRO-Verters are “Plug & Play” compatible with the Inter-Connect circuit, and can be used in concert
with additional PRO-Verters when high-power or individual control over multiple loads/voltages are
required.
AC and DC cables for the PRO-Verter are sold separately, as they must be correct for the voltage
type and their current-carrying ability. Additionally, the optional Remote Monitoring Kit (RMK) allows
the PRO-Verter to be tailored specifically to meet data collection and notification requirements.
