Remote, Self-Contained, Fossil and Renewable Energy Power System<br />
TACTICAL INTELLIGENT POWER SYSTEMS FOR REMOTE SITE APPLICATION:<br />
TIPS RPS<br />
<strong>DRS</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> offers a flexible, scalable and affordable<br />
system solution for providing reliable, continuous electric<br />
power in isolated or remote site applications needing self<br />
contained continuous operation with ultra low requirements<br />
for service. Our Tactical Intelligent Power Systems,<br />
Renewable Power System (TIPS RPS) utilizes technology<br />
similar to our larger scale TIPS products but at power levels<br />
which can be supported by portable solar and wind power<br />
generation systems. Coupled with a highly capable battery<br />
system and backup generator - used only for emergency and<br />
maintenance situations - TIPS RPS provides a nominal 600<br />
Watts of continuous electric power (adjustable to other power<br />
levels with modification to the size of the solar array) at<br />
standard 120 VAC output for 24 hours/365 days per year<br />
with fuel servicing required at only 3-4 month intervals or<br />
longer.<br />
• “Virtual fence” border security systems<br />
• Remote weather or radar stations<br />
• Communication relay links<br />
• Disaster recovery<br />
• Nation building<br />
• Islands of power<br />
• General purpose utility power<br />
• National park facility or other “green” facility support<br />
TIPS RPS can be adopted to meet any application where low<br />
cost and low maintenance, reliable power is required – and<br />
depended on. Installation is accomplished by overland<br />
transport on a removable wheel-set or by helicopter lift.<br />
Setup is accomplished by two technicians in approximately 2<br />
hours using components stored for transport within the<br />
Conex enclosure.<br />
Designed to handle environmental extremes while requiring<br />
minimal periodic maintenance; the TIPS RPS system can<br />
meet remote and unattended power needs at a very low life<br />
cycle cost. Primary renewable power source applications<br />
served by the TIPS RPS include:<br />
The <strong>DRS</strong> TIPS RPS uses well-proven, ruggedized commercial<br />
components. This adheres to the Department of Homeland<br />
Security (DHS) guidelines for preferred hardware solutions.
HIGHLIGHTS<br />
• Standalone - Solar/Wind based with battery and back-up<br />
generator operation<br />
• Self-Contained - All components mounted & shipped<br />
within a standard ISO shelter<br />
• Transportable - Fully mobile with temporary installation<br />
of wheel and pintle towing kit<br />
• Remote Performance Monitor - Monitoring station has<br />
full insight into system performance and alerts if<br />
unscheduled maintenance is required<br />
• Modular construction - Easy component replacement<br />
• Designed for extremely low maintenance and minimal<br />
training - basic qualified maintenance personnel can<br />
perform required periodic repairs<br />
• Rapid 2-person set-up - Operational in less than 30<br />
minutes for support of installation - 2 hours for erection<br />
of solar panels<br />
Whether it’s supporting first responders, monitoring remote<br />
security sites, providing portable, temporary or permanent<br />
power needs, the <strong>DRS</strong> TIPS RPS provides the total power<br />
solution. <strong>DRS</strong> Test and Energy Management’s (<strong>DRS</strong> TEM)<br />
long history of hybrid electric power development and its<br />
technology pioneering role in providing U.S. Department of<br />
Defense battlefield and mobile power applications makes<br />
this affordable technology available today.<br />
