Solar PV Project
Inverter
Northern proprietary full four quadrant power convert technology allow very high efficiency power conversion rate. This technology is design to meet latest electrical requirement for grid and off-grid application, such as CEI 0-21 2019 for Italy and VDE for Germany. External output command option allow also easy integration in off-grid systems with external controller.SMART VIEW 4.0
The well-known SmartView TM monitoring platform re-invented. Seamless integration and monitoring of any kind of small wind turbine. Easy interface for PV systems with commercial inverter.Historical and real time reports both per fleet and per plant.
Heritage
Today’s Northern Power Systems started in 2014 as the operational branch of Northern Power Systems Inc in Italy, successfully installing and managing over 450 plants in 4 years.
In 2019 NPS became an independent company acquiring exclusive operating licenses on the technology developed by NPS and completely maintaining the staff and technical capabilities developed over the years.Northern Power Systems Inc was originally founded in 1974 as North Wind Power Company in Warren, Vermont.
In 1978, US Department of Energy awarded North Wind a contract to develop a high-reliability 2 kW wind turbine for the growing telecommunications market.
As a result of that work, North Wind developed its HR2 wind turbine, a three-bladed, horizontal axis up wind rotor configuration utilizing a slow-speed, direct-drive 2.2 kW alternator.
This small wind turbine soon gained international market acceptance as one of the most rugged, high-reliability wind turbines available. Over 600 HR2 and its successor HR3 wind turbines were sold over approximately 20 years of production, with many still operational today.
