Open Architecture, High Efficiency Renewable Energy System (HERES) Navy SBIR FY2010.3 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.3 Topic No.: N103-194 Topic Title: Open Architecture, High Efficiency Renewable Energy System (HERES) Proposal No.: N103-194-0305 Firm: Iris Technology Corporation PO Box 5838 Irvine, California 92616 Contact: Carl Kirkconnell Phone: (949) 975-8410 Web Site: www.iristechnology.com Abstract: Iris Technology proposes to develop an Open Architecture, High Efficiency Renewable Energy System that has at its core an efficient, smart, highly flexible Controller. The Iris HERES will be equipped with state of the art renewable energy technology that provides the best balance of performance, economic value, and battlefield survivability in a HMMWV trailer-mounted compatible package. The Open Architecture will yield a design that is readily upgradeable as new renewable energy technologies emerge. Risk is substantially reduced by maintaining close legacy to the SPACES and GREEN Controller designs. Benefits: The Open Architecture HERES will be a modular, adaptable system by design. Therefore, Iris expects the basic technology developed on HERES to be broadly applicable to other USN and DoD power applications. Iris is making a strong market in this technology area with products like SPACES and GREEN, so HERES fits in perfectly with our commercialization plan. Because of our strong corporate commitment to this type of technology, we believe a win on HERES will better position us to continue to innovate for our DoD customers in this market. More broadly, the power levels for HERES are on par with those required for residential renewable energy systems. Iris expects advancements on HERES and related military products to eventually lead to commercialization for residential applications. Return
