Pareto Energy Ltd. (www.paretoenergy.com) has contracted NH based NSEE for systems design, consulting and supply of a power converter based Micro-grid system. The approval of the power converter based design includes agreement from CL&P that the distributed generation (DG) integrated into the Micro-grid will have no negative impacts to the existing utility grid, and therefore no system studies or upgrades are required to accommodate the DG. (Full Press Release)
Synchrony Inc. of Roanoke, VA hires NSEE to consult on custom power converter supply for its direct drive, high speed, magnetic bearing, motor generator business. (see http://www.synchrony.com/)
Synchrony has a unique, cost effective magnetic bearing which it incorporates into its high speed permanent magnet machines. With an integral power converter for both motoring and generating applications, Synchrony can sell a complete packaged system for any need on any grid used in the world.
Going forward, significant markets exist with new gas and steam small turbine generators to effectively replace large power plants.

Pareto Energy of Washington, D.C. and NSEE agree to a working relationship to promote Energy Independence Districts. (see http://www.paretoenergy.com/)
NSEE will assist with design and consulting to help make Pareto's EID's a reality. Unique topologies will allow the integration of on-site power into an expandable grid running both connected to and in parallel with the existing grid.
The first target markets for such EID's are in the US Northeast...with the rest of the world to follow.
