Inspired Systems and Allen & Shariff Win $1.1 Million Contract for the Grayson County Courthouse

Grayson County Courthouse is working with the Allen & Shariff Corporation, Inspired Systems, Highlands Mechanical Corporation, Collaborative Engineering and The Lane Group to provide a comprehensive system to generate renewable photovoltaic solar energy, replace the water source heat pumps with higher efficiency SEER units, replace the cooling tower with a high efficiency unit and add a Automated Thermostat System and Facility Management software to further reduce energy and building operational costs.  We propose to implement a public education process to make the citizens of Grayson County, other local jurisdictions and private enterprises in Southwest Virginia aware of the benefits and features of these technologies.

United States Navy

Inspired Systems as a team member with BMT Syntek Technologies are currently performing on a $9.9M contract for research and development activities associated with Advanced Power System Management and Analysis for the Next Generation Integrated Power System (NGIPS) for the US Navy.

This contract/task relates to performing system-level analyses of NGIPS architectures and their associated components and shall analyze the impact of the projected performance on ship mission equipment and performance. Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) technology tasks as part of the contract focuses on improving efficiency by employing fewer gas turbines while also loading gas turbines to their optimal operating condition.  Work associated with Power conditioners, battery storage, turbine, cooling systems, etc.  Work under this contract also entails overall system design, development, planning, monitoring, testing, integration and assessment. 

Department of Energy

Inspired Systems employees have been working with the Department of Energy (DOE) on Renewable System Interconnection (RSI) activities. We currently support DOE's RDD&D and management activities within the Wind and Water Power Program (WWPP).  We are actively engaged in efforts to speed the national evolution to the increased use and application of variable renewable energy source technologies.

Our extensive background in electrical system design and control along with experience supporting activities such as wind plant performance characterization, advanced forecasting, grid system operation and planning, and manufacturing and supply chain development activities provides us with a unique skill set to support technology managers and decision makers in emerging variable renewable energy source technology areas.

Residential

The residential division, Maryland Automation, designed and deployed a system that can be completely controlled by a smart phone or web page. It can monitor and control systems in the house including: 17 zones of Geothermal HVAC, Motorized Shades, 8 TVs each with PC and full suite of A/V gear attached, 194 lighting control devices, pool pumps and lights, spa and spa lights, interior and exterior gas fireplaces, energy monitoring, solar water heating, solar photovoltaic electrical generation, security, surveillance cameras, driveway sensors, garage doors, electric door strikes, 12 zones of whole house audio, integrated intercoms, networking, and yacht surveillance.

The project utilizes Inspired Systems extensive systems integration expertise to provide up to 30% energy savings via autonomous controls!
