Aquentium Enters Lithium Ion Battery Storage Industry
Aquentium, Inc. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, New American Energy, Inc., is now entering the lithium ion battery/energy storage industry. Aquentium and New American Energy will now be able to provide proven energy storage and management solutions utilizing patented technology.
New American Energy is able to offer an intelligent, integrated, and interactive way to store and distribute energy that is affordable, efficient, and effective for emergency and uninterrupted power generation, smart demand response management solutions, and utility grid integrated power distribution and generation systems for all industry needs worldwide.
"Whether you are hooked up to the grid and seeking an efficient energy storage solution, producing alternative energy, looking for the most intelligent energy management system, and/or need to find the most affordable backup power supply on the market today, Aquentium and New American Energy can provide a proven integrated solution that is Green, Affordable, Efficient, and Sustainable," stated New American Energy, Inc. Vice-President of Global Marketing Mr. Tomas Alvarez.
The market is growing exponentially and the demand for cost-efficient energy storage systems and solutions is recognized amongst experts, in the "Energy and Utility" sectors, as being the greatest barrier to affordable alternative renewable energy generation. New American Energy has the ability to manage and control the storage and distribution of energy, in real time, greatly influencing the costs and availability of energy. The evolution of proven energy storage solutions is making a tremendous impact economically, in terms of supply and demand energy costs. Now the supply of energy can be stored effectively and efficiently and released based upon demand and cost-effectiveness, allowing for additional cost savings and/or revenue generation that were not previously available to end users.
"Our goal is to deliver customized engineered proven energy storage solutions for residential, commercial buildings, government, military, municipalities, industry, renewable energy generation, utility companies, communications, portable logistics, automobile, transportation, intelligent technology, and literally, anyone using electricity," added Alvarez.
By developing intelligent, integrated and interactive energy storage, which is compatible with any simple generation and distribution system and/or large industrial "utility"-sized infrastructure, New American Energy is able to allow customers to monetize energy efficiency. With a customized integrated interface circuitry that manages its energy storage technology and intelligently manages the distribution of power, New American Energy can store an unlimited amount of generated energy, whether it’s from the electric grid or a renewable source, and intelligently manage the distribution regardless if it goes back to the electric grid or to end users such as residences, hospitals, businesses or industry.
The evolution of effective and efficient energy is exciting and developing at a rapid pace. The current electrical grid in the United States, which has an old and obsolete network of 14,000 transmission substations, 4,500 large substations for distribution, and 3,000 public and private owners, is being replaced throughout the country by the new Smart Grid -- a shared network that will communicate intelligently, work efficiently with all types of generation, and relies on custom engineered storage solutions, providing a cost-effective demand response management capability.
Aquentium and New American Energy believe that the Smart Grid will become the Internet of Energy.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
