It is estimated that 759 million people globally still lack access to electricity. In some remote areas, communities rely on microgrids, which provide power from renewable sources, like solar and wind. But deploying microgrid systems is complex, expensive, and requires customization. These challenges limit the mass adoption of microgrids when they could solve many infrastructure issues around the world, both military and civilian. SYNCRIS set out to solve this problem by creating a new inverter that simplifies, standardizes, and scales microgrids.

Technology

• Single stackable inverter module.
• Makes microgrids easy to install, expand, reconfigure, and deploy anywhere, including on the battlefield.
• Power can be easily scaled up or down, reducing failure points and enhancing system reliability.
• Relies on hardware versus software because the latter can present scalability and security concerns.

Military Applications & Benefits

• Enables renewable energy integration within modular microgrids, reducing reliance on vulnerable fuel supply lines.
• Decreases risks to personnel and equipment by minimizing fuel convoy needs.
• Allows independent operation from the main grid during disruptions or attacks, ensuring mission-critical power availability.
• Supports 100% renewable energy, enhancing community resilience and grid stability.
• Increases energy capacity for military bases, field units, and other critical operations.
