Services

Inspired Systems provides engineered technology solutions and disciplined engineering management services (program development and management) for government, businesses and homeowners.

Energy Efficiency
Inspired Systems leverages our U.S. Navy automation and controls experience in developing solutions for researchers, builders, developers, industrial plant owners and homeowners. Combining building energy conservation with the smart grid and automated electrical services with a wide spectrum of sensors and integrated controls. HVAC, lighting, utilities handling, surveillance, warning systems – literally everything that uses fuel or electricity at a plant or residence – can be monitored and regulated through web-based tools. These solutions are enhanced by wireless devices, so that whether on-site or at a remote location, the safety and efficiency of your asset is assured. We provide tailored systems designs, implementation, and training, following through with maintenance and technology upgrades on a continuing basis as required. Working both with existing plants and new, we offer services and systems to clients that focus on their needs and their site, choosing from tens of thousands of alternative components within an open-architecture, modular environment that ensures best cost and performance, and the flexibility to match any protocol or interface without proprietary barriers.

Marine Systems
Supporting the U.S Navy for several decades, performing research and development programs which assist the Navy in developing affordable power solutions for future surface combatants, submarines, expeditionary warfare ships, combat logistic ships, maritime prepositioning force ships, and support vessels. New platform support includes:

• Surface ships, including Aegis destroyers, the new DDG 1000 Zumwalt destroyer, future cruisers, the new Littoral Combat Ship and carriers.
• Submarines, including Los Angeles, SEAWOLF, Virginia and Ohio classes.

Inspired Systems has expertise in the engineering and management with advanced power system and technology development programs. Experienced in the research, development, and integration of Electrical/Electro-Mechanical power systems and components.
Our staff has develop automated control systems to provide technologies such as: self-healing reconfigurable systems, health monitoring for condition-based maintenance, wireless operations, and distributed command and control capabilities, and the design of electrical generation and distribution systems, employing novel configurations, modularity, and redundancy to develop applications that are both robust and high-functioning.

Automation and Controls
Leveraging years of controls design and automation systems geared toward labor reduction, safety, survivability, and improved life cycle costs, our engineers excel at providing best value solutions for a broad spectrum of requirements, whether for commercial plants and buildings, residential homes, or Navy ships. Our focus is on open-architecture backbones and middleware that can access and operate multiple protocols, to combine components from the vendors that best meet critical design features. This approach results in systems that work more efficiently, last longer, and are easily upgradeable when superior technology becomes available.

Renewable Energy
Inspired Systems has considerable experience in state-of-the-art zonal power distribution using DC and/or AC. Our engineers have designed distributions systems and components for use in power generation, distribution and hybrid electric propulsion systems on various naval performs such as DDG-51, DDG 1000 as well as other. These platforms have power source systems with mission critical operational and performance specifications. Due to the nature of the loads and finite generation capability, complex interactions are always present and hence an engineering approach not usually needed in the terrestrial power grid needs to be applied.

As renewable energy sources like wind, water, solar and others become a more predominant presence on the power fed to the grid, electrical dynamics within power distribution segments must be understood and issues resolved. These dynamics have not been major issues for the grid to date, but are certain to cause problems in the upcoming future.

Inspired Systems assists power system developers, power plant and power market operators solve these and other problems. Our experience in naval platforms lets us approach issues from the perspective of the load, more or less looking at the engineering problem from a different perspective.
