PCTI recently supplied a very innovative ground power solution to the Air Force called the Hybrid Electric Flight Line Cart (HEF). This unique aircraft power supply can accommodate multiple different aircraft on the flight line or in a hanger such as t ...
A Brief History of Submarines
While man has traveled over the waves for millennia, it has only been in modern times that we have gotten the chance to explore underneath the surface. While the hobbyist inventors designed the earliest submarines in the 1500s, the subs of the 20th century have been technologically sophisticated machines developed by engineers and built in massive shipyards.
Energy Storage Challenges
It seems that every day, emerging technologies and energy solutions are getting more advanced and closer to being more mainstream. Solar and wind power, for instance, used to be more theoretical than practical; now, that is no longer the case.
We Provide the Spark for your Submarine Battery
PCTI is no stranger to the requirements for submarine battery chargers. We have made battery charging and discharging equipment for submarines and other applications since 1994. Our first submarine battery discharger was manufactured for the U.S. Navy’s largest unmanned submarine
Critical Power: FLEX Strategy
March 2016 was the 5th anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In response to the Fukushima accident, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) developed the Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) to prepare for beyond-design-events at Nuclear Power Station in the US. To support the FLEX Strategies mandated by the NRC, PCTI has produced a Critical Power Trailer that houses a 400A, 125V 12-Pulse Battery Charger.
Battery Charging – A Rapidly Changing Technology
Battery charging technology is crucial for energy storage purposes, particularly for renewable technologies being used in mobile and critical backup systems. One of the biggest areas of growth and research in modern charger technology is with the new battery chemistries and the optimized ways to charge them.
