Solon Mardapittas CTO of Powerstar

 

 

“If we didn't have this, we'd be stuck using a platform that we couldn't change and therefore optimize. It really helps with confidence.

                                                                    -Solon Mardapittas, CTO of Powerstar

 

For this next spotlight, we got a chance to speak with Powerstar’s CTO, Solon Mardapittas, on developing Powerstar’s intelligent energy management system (EMS) with real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) technology. 

Based in the UK, Powerstar’s integrated energy system combines its voltage optimization technology with energy storage solution. This not only secures power but lowers energy costs and provides demand side response services to the grid.

Here is the insightful interview with Solon Mardapittas on Powerstar’s rigorous quality assurance process for its leading-edge technology:
