The Power Management
Application (PMA) is a software program that
performs high level computing and networking for
embedded power applications. The PMA has been
developed for start-of-the-art power management,
control, and integration applications.
The PMA is an ideal solution for many power
and energy implementations such as Distributed
Energy Resource (DER) control, Fuel Cell Control,
Vehicle Power Integration, Microgrid control, or
Residential Power Automation.
The
PMA is designed for the most challenging power
management, control, and integration applications.
Power management, control, and integration are
essential to manage the overburdened vehicle-based
power systems.
Many aspects of power management, control, and
integration also apply to other contained power
systems such as distributed generation microgrids.
Today’s power systems demand advanced functions
which can only be performed by the PMA. The
PMA implements many features that enable Global
ET’s other power products including:
Power Control Unit (PCU)
Power Management Controller (PMC)
PCU
Remote IO (PCUZ11)
Power Data Logger (PDL) When integrated
together, these combine to form a complete power
management, control, and integration system.
The PMA is a software solution allowing for changes
or customization to be performed with minimal
effort. Whether the application resides on a
microcontroller or a blade server, the PMA can be
scaled appropriately. In small systems, the PMA
can operate in a microcontroller performing
application specific limited features. In large
systems, many PMAs can work together linking
several sub-systems together to form a power
network.
The PMA graphical user interface has been designed to
be user friendly with standard Windows look-and-feel
for navigation, configuration, data entry, etc.
Visual feedback to system status and performance
facilitates system operation and maintenance. The PMA applies state-of-the-art software
functionality and communication to modern power and
energy challenges.
