Active Power Company Description
Active Power keeps the juices flowing. The company's CleanSource DC and CleanSource UPS (uninterruptible power system) are designed to replace conventional UPS products that use lead-acid batteries. The CleanSource DC/UPS products use a flywheel that stores kinetic energy by spinning. When a power quality problem is detected, the products convert the kinetic energy into electricity. The CleanSource UPS was developed in partnership with heavy equipment maker Caterpillar (about 31% of sales), which markets the product with its generator sets. CleanSource is marketed to Internet service providers, as well as telecommunications, industrial, and commercial customers. US customers provide more than half of sales.
