PENNINGTON, N.J., Oct. 23, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTCBB:WWAT), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted the company's patent application for "Maximum Power Point Speed Control." The new invention relates to the operation of AC Motors and Motor Drives that convert power from a DC source (such as sun power) to AC, and operates the motor at maximum power as the power from the DC source varies.
In making the announcement, Chairman Quentin T. Kelly commented, "This new technology is a continuation of WorldWater's pioneering advances in solar energy. Congratulations to Tom McNulty, our Director of Engineering, and Juan Horta, Electrical Design Engineer, the primary inventors."
The WorldWater & Power development replaces hardware with software, enabling the motor to change speeds in order to operate optimally with the available power from the sun. It operates in conjunction with the company's other proprietary technologies that drive electric motors up to 600 horsepower on solar power alone.
