Período documentado: 2016-04-01 hasta 2017-03-31
During the second year, the measurements were validated by a 3rd party and noise and vibration tests were performed on the unit to answer the most recurring question from customers. A solid pipeline of customers has been established, but challenging roadblocks have been identified in the sales process. Securing permits for the installation has proven to be the major issue in the Netherlands. Thanks to the knowledge gained after the Demonstrator and project preparations, the Consortium developed a complete mass production design and aligned the suppliers. PowerNEST is commercially launched, the first contract is signed, collaboration agreements established, and several projects under preparation. IBIS Power filed a new patent in June 2016 and presented a research paper during the last edition of the Torque Conference in Munich, Germany.
