provides the industry’s first solution for switching or sharing a
single power source between two different rooms. This reduces
installation costs by cutting the number of iHP power supplies
needed in half and it substantially reduces ongoing utility costs.

AE’s new lighting and power system transforms the use of LED
technology in horticultural lighting systems, which plays a
fundamental role in cutting-edge farming practices that can address
production challenges in food, pharmaceutical ingredients, plants
and flowers. Utilizing AE’s system, customers reduce their power
conversion costs by as much as 50 percent, significantly lower
installation and operating costs, and increase the quality of crop
yield.
“Our groundbreaking lighting, power and control system delivers
significant improvements over conventional lighting solutions and
opens up new opportunities for the industry,” said Joe Voyles, vice
president, industrial marketing, at Advanced Energy. “We are
transforming our customers’ operations by both reducing the amount
of needed equipment and improving the efficiency of the lighting
systems, thereby reducing cost and energy spend. Not only do these
innovative new products increase the efficiency and quality of
fruit and vegetable production, but they also open the door to
establishing indoor farming facilities in harsh environments
anywhere in the world.”
The new system consists of the patented Artesyn iTS™
(intelligent Transfer Switch) and iHPS™ configurable power supply.
Alongside Artesyn’s compact new 12 kW 300 VDC module, AE delivers a
cost-effective platform for the most advanced indoor farming
applications. The system is estimated to produce a 38 percent
savings to lighting power and control installation cost, while
eliminating substantial amounts of wasted energy.
The new iHPS is a “short” version of AE’s market-leading iHP
power supply. The shorter design allows for more space within the
lighting and power cabinet for other crucial components, reduces
the weight and cost, and increases the life of the system. The new
iTS provides the industry’s first solution for switching or sharing
a single power source between two different rooms. This reduces
installation costs by cutting the number of iHP power supplies
needed in half and it substantially reduces ongoing utility
costs.
