With the breakneck speed at which new and emerging technologies, such as satellites, autonomous vehicles, solar and wind installations, and others, are evolving, power systems must evolve with them.
The technologies and components used in these edge-of-the-envelope devices and platforms are much more sophisticated than ever. They demand a power solution that is bidirectional, flexible, multimodal, reconfigurable, and can operate across a wide range of AC inputs.
Integrated bidirectional power solutions, such as the AMETK Mi-BEAM, rise to the occasion. This is a one-stop solution that can offer wide-range, ultra-reliable power with tight specifications, and can use any available grid voltage.
For example, the Mi-BEAM discussed offers input line voltage regulation of ± 0.1% of rated voltage and voltage load regulation of ± 0.02% of rated voltage. Its feature set is extensive: source mode, electronic load mode, bidirectional mode, battery simulator mode, battery test mode, and photovoltaic simulation mode, all in a single solution.
This FAQ unpacks the technical side of the Mi-BEAM and discusses why an advanced, flexible, and reliable bi-directional power system — with an unmatched set of features and specifications — is no longer an option for today and tomorrow’s applications.
