Hillcrest Energy Technologies (CSE: HEAT) (OTCQB: HLRTF) is a clean technology company developing high-value, high-performance power conversion technologies and digital control systems for next-generation powertrains and grid-connected renewable energy systems. The company’s Zero Voltage Switching (“ZVS”) inverter architecture achieves increased efficiency, performance, and reliability in electric systems, with applications at nearly every stage of the electrification ecosystem, including clean energy industry segments such as wind, solar, energy storage, and electric vehicle (“EV”) fast chargers.
Electric motor operation depends on power inverter technology to transform DC energy into AC power – making HLRTF’s technology increasingly critical to replacing fossil fuel-driven engines with alternatives that run on electricity from renewable sources. Traditional inverters presented mechanical and design challenges, however Hillcrest’s ZVS technology overcomes those issues with a proprietary approach to soft switching that achieves increased efficiency, performance, and reliability.
“Our ZVS inverter technology is setting a new standard of expected performance and efficiency for the next era of power conversion technologies,” said Hillcrest CTO Ari Berger (https://ibn.fm/J7IUc). “We believe the industry-leading advancements we’ve achieved with our core ZVS inverter technology can provide significant, cost-effective efficiency and performance improvements for the rapidly expanding markets for zero-emission vehicles and renewable energy generation and storage systems.”
HLRTF’s ZVS inverter technology can be applied to nearly every sector of the clean energy industry. For example, inverters deployed at a wind turbine generator convert the AC output, with at least one additional inverter required to provide power to the grid or battery. For solar power generation, inverters are needed to convert DC output from photovoltaic panels or energy storage systems into AC power that flows into the home, electric vehicle, or back to the grid. Finally, for EV fast chargers, an inverter converts the AC input from the storage system or grid to the DC output required to charge an EV’s battery.
Hillcrest’s ZVS technology additionally enables smart, grid-forming capabilities of a more distributed, bidirectional system containing a variety of intermittent sources. This is especially critical to the next generation of grid-tied energy systems that require high-frequency power, including renewable energy generation, storage, V2X, and EV charging infrastructure. Hillcrest’s Inverter Technology potentially provides additional benefits to grid-connected energy systems by offering a more efficient and reliable means of deploying higher switching frequencies in addition to improved output power quality.
The company recently held a webinar in collaboration with Amvest Capital that gave investors an inside look at the company’s ZVS technology, the companion platform, commercialization activities, and insights into the company’s strategic investor and public relations efforts.
