   Renewable energy: it’s more than just a buzz word—it’s the hot topic in almost every major industry, and it’s here to stay.

   According to this article, in 2015 the country’s use of renewable energy hit its highest level since the 1930s when people relied almost solely on wood to heat their homes. From wind and waste to solar and geothermal energy, the alternative—or green—sources of energy are growing in a major way.

   Additionally, this article points out that around the globe, in cities “from Burlington, Vermont, to Kisielice, Poland, local leaders are either trumpeting the success they’ve already had [with renewable energy] or making plans to kick fossil fuel out of town.” They are, apparently, “rushing to commit to running on 100-percent renewable energy as soon as possible.”

   At MPS Industries, we understand this; we also understand how to design and manufacture high-performance inductive components that support alternative energy needs. Our magnetic components, which are both highly compact and highly energy-efficient, are used in a wide variety of applications, from energy grid storage to solar inverters and EV/HEV.

   Our PX1391 Series Reactor for Inverter Systems, for example, is a high-current and high-power reactor that’s used for AC filtering in a large variety of inverter systems, including grid-tied solar inverters and HVAC inverter systems. Further examples of our magnetic components for renewable energy applications include:

   • Smart Utility Grid Monitoring
   • EV Battery Chargers
   • Grid Tied Solar Inverters
   • Electric Drive Systems
   • Energy Storage Inverters

   No matter the specific product or use, all of our designs are specifically tailored to each customer’s needs and can be completely customized. Additionally, all of our inductors and chokes are made with state-of-the-art materials, including distributed gap powdered metals, ferrites, amorphous metals, and silicon and nickel-iron materials that meet any and all specific application requirements.

   The fact is, alternative/renewable energy use is growing and evolving at lightning speed, and companies must grow and evolve with it. Using the highest quality inductive components to utilize this energy, you’ll stay light years ahead of the competition.

2. Green Energy Meets our Power Electronics Products

   Clean energy, green energy, renewable energy. However you may have come across these terms, they all refer to the same premise: alternative and more sustainable means of energy that utilize any type of natural resource. Recently, green energy has grown rapidly; in fact, “in the last decade, renewable energy has become more economical and is being built in larger numbers because it’s the lowest cost option.”[1] Many different industries are taking note on how to incorporate clean energy into its processes or products. Being in the power electronic industry, we not only understand the importance of renewable energy, but we also understand how to bring this sustainability into our products for a number of markets. This fall, we are bringing this knowledge to the road.

   We are excited to be attending two trade shows this fall –the EV Tech Trade Show in September and the Solar Power International Show in October. While the two shows will feature different audiences, the EV Tech show is geared towards electric and hybrid vehicles and the Solar Power International show is targeted towards solar power, they both have something in common: green, alternative energy. Due to this, we will be exhibiting our newest product line, which is well suited for both electric vehicles and for solar power products.

   Our PX1391 Series Reactor for Inverter Systems is a high current and high power reactor that can be used for AC filtering in a variety of inverter systems, including grid-tied solar inverters and HVAC inverter systems. Additional features include its compact size, elimination of acoustic noise issues, and its ability to be easily mounted in enclosures with thermally conductive materials for superior heat dissipation. Not only does the series reactor have high energy storage capabilities, but it was specifically designed for power electronics that deal with renewable energy. That’s why we are able to present this product line at both shows; it’s geared for a number of industries.

   We are excited to be at the forefront of power electronics and we look forward to any opportunity where we can present our products to our customers. We hope to see you at either the EV Tech Trade Show or the Solar Power International Show –make sure to stop by and see our newest product line!
