Astral's technologies are being applied to earth to solve critical industrial and energy challenges. From resource extraction and metal refining to advanced manufacturing, energy storage, and grid conditioning, our innovations provide sustainable solutions across various industries. Additionally, our technologies play a vital role in defense applications, enhancing national security and supporting the protection of our country and its allies.
California is a global leader in renewable energy, and we’re supporting that with our AMPES project. Our HVDC VSC (Voltage Source Converter) system simplifies offshore wind farm infrastructure by eliminating traditional components like MMC valves and transformers. This reduces costs and enhances the efficiency of energy transmission from offshore wind farms to the grid.
Washington, known for its abundant hydropower, faces the challenge of maintaining grid stability amid fluctuating water flows. Our HYDROPULSE technology solves this by using a bidirectional pulsed power system to optimize turbine operations. This ensures a stable 60 Hz grid frequency, improving the flexibility and efficiency of hydropower plants in all flow conditions.
Oregon’s reliance on hydropower is enhanced by our HYDROPULSE technology, which optimizes turbine operations and ensures grid stability in varying water flow conditions. This system guarantees a stable 60 Hz output, making Oregon’s renewable energy infrastructure more reliable and adaptable.
In Minnesota, we’re collaborating with tribal communities to boost industrial production and energy generation. OUr FeRR0 steel mill and HYDROMETALS manufacturing facility will produce hydropower components and expand energy infrastructure on tribal lands. Our initiative also includes a training program offering full-time jobs to tribal interns, promoting economic development and energy independence.
Massachusetts is a key player in offshore wind energy, and our AMPES project is helping accelerate its progress. By using an advanced HVDC VSC system, we eliminate the need for complex power conditioning equipment, streamlining energy transmission and cutting costs. This positions Massachusetts as a key player in the global transition to renewable energy while solidifying its role in shaping the future of offshore wind power.
As a major center for onshore wind energy, Texas benefits from our innovative HVDC VSC systems, which improve power transmission reliability. Our Texas headquarters also supports national defense projects, where we’re developing advanced munitions and disarming systems. our HEadquarters is also where our HELIX technology is manufactured, offering a compact, cost-effective smart transformer to improve grid efficiency across the state.
