PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Scaling and Modifying the HPS
When expanding or modifying the HPS architecture, scaling and stacking may be used to provide
additional capabilities that may exceed the ability of any one component to handle.
Scaling
• Power generation and energy storage can be modified in accordance with changes in load
requirements. Additional generation sources (fuel-driven generator, wind, fuel cell, etc.) should
be selected based on availability of resources, logistics, and the local environment.
• Additional energy storage modules can be of a different form factor but must be of the same
chemistry and voltage and have compatible charge and discharge current capabilities.
Stacking
• Capabilities including advanced power distribution and management modules, stacking of
generators with PRO-Verters, Power Hubs, and more can be added (or removed).
Consult the individual product manuals for additional information about scaling and stacking.
Note:
Scaling or modifying the HPS architecture should be done with all components in the HPS
completely inactive and OFF. The Initialization and Calibration setup step must be repeated
once the modifications have been made.
PRO-Verter Stacking Example
Stacking PRO-Verters of the same or different types provides a mechanism to power a wide variety
of AC loads from the same System. The dashed-line box surrounds the stacked PRO-Verters.
