Richardson Electronics, Ltd. Introduces New Patent Pending Hybrid Ultracapacitor UPS System for Wind Turbines and Other Power Management Systems

LAFOX, Ill., May 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL), a global provider of engineered solutions for renewable energy, is pleased to announce the new patent pending ULTRAUPS3000™ Hybrid Ultracapacitor Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for wind turbine control systems and other industrial applications where reliable low voltage ride through and safe shut down are safety critical. This is the latest patent pending product adding to the Company’s growing portfolio of engineered solutions.

The ULTRAUPS3000™ reflects the ingenuity and evolution of its market-leading solutions. The ULTRAUPS3000™ is designed for operation in harsh environments unlike other energy storage solutions such as lead acid or lithium-based UPS systems. With the wider operating temperature of Richardson Electronics hybrid ultracapacitor solution, the product will help solve issues related to the short life of other technologies.

Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President, and General Manager of Power Microwave and Green Energy Solutions Group stated, “This is another major achievement from our team in our ever-increasing portfolio of power management products. The potential of the ULTRAUPS3000™ meeting the needs of our customers in the wind turbine industry and many other industries is exponential. This patent reinforces our commitment to innovation and engineered solutions.”

The new ULTRAUPS3000™ will be on display in the Richardson Electronics’ booth (#813) at the CLEANPOWER Conference and Exhibition on May 22 - 25, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Company’s patented ultracapacitor-based pitch energy module, the ULTRA3000^®, will also be on display.
