PRESENTATION: Are Lithium-Ion Batteries Ready for Broadcast Applications?
Speaker: Chuck Barry-Vice President, Staco Energy Products
Jim Morris-Director of Sales Northeast, Staco Energy Products
Chuck Barry is the Vice President of Sales and Service for Staco Energy Products. He will be addressing the feasibility of lithium-ion batteries and UPS in the broadcast world. He has over 25 years of sales and marketing experience with various battery-based and battery-free energy storage and power quality equipment manufacturers, including Exide Electronics, Active Power(flywheels), Toshiba, Valence Technology, and Staco.
Synopsis:
This presentation will discuss the evolution of the various lead-acid batteries currently available, but the main focus will be about the future of energy storage, especially lithium-ion. We will weigh the tradeoffs between the various lithium-ion chemistry, discuss how lithium batteries are constructed, explain what a battery management system is, which regulatory requirements should be considered, and fire-mitigation/safety concerns. Further attention will concern the future. Given the amount of money flowing into alternative energy storage, what is beyond lithium-ion?

Bringing to Light: The Changes in The Tower Lighting World
The FAA compliance rules for your tower’s obstruction lighting continue to be updated as evidenced by the November 2020 circular. LumenServe℠ will review some key aspects of the regulations that you need to know. LEDs have been around for many years, however, in the tower lighting world their deployment is creating big changes. In addition, the traditional practice of procurement, maintenance and monitoring has a new model: Tower Lighting as a Service®. LumenServe℠ is at the forefront of this new approach to tower lighting, and we will explore its advantages and implications
Our next meeting will be Wednesday March 6th at 1pm. This will be a go-to meeting with David Neff from Anywave Communication Technologies and talking ATSC 3.0. I know we are not there and not sure when our market will make the transition, but I thought this would be good information on what is involved. This should be interesting...
