Raven has proven success with specialty variable-speed generators developed for military and emergency response vehicles. This is leading to wide-ranging involvement with emerging technologies. Current projects include adaptations for on-and off-grid wind and solar energy applications, and over-the-road refrigeration.
“While high tech has lured much of the industry away from classic techniques, we have focused on patenting cutting-edge enhancements that leverage robust, time-proven methods,” Tupper said.
"The driving forces for most of our projects come from the developing world: India, China, and places where the central grid can't be taken for granted. These places are desperate for reliable power to drive their growing economies. Given their limited fuel resources, they have very high interest in efficiency and renewable energy." Tupper explained.
In this industry, every day brings new challenges and opportunities. "We go from working on new projects in the lab one week to climbing a customer's experimental wind turbine tower the next week, and then on to explaining our patented resident excitation technology over lunch to a Chinese visitor through an interpreter. It sounds very mysterious when it's repeated in Mandarin," he laughed.
Raven combines a systems approach with core technology attributes of "inherent flexibility, robustness, and simplicity leading toward effective, low cost systems." With a focus on global opportunities for energy efficiency, Raven is hard at work on innovative power solutions for the future.
