In December 2003, Northern Power Systems Inc was acquired by Proton Energy Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq: PRTN). Northern Power Systems formerly (New World Power Technology) designs, builds, and installs ultra-reliable electric power systems for industrial, commercial, government, and military customers. For more than a quarter of a century, Northern has provided innovative, flexible, and cleaner generating systems that convert energy derived from wind, sunlight, oil and gas into electricity, using thoroughly tested power generation technologies integrated with state-of-the-art controls and power electronics. We have installed over 800 systems on all seven continents, earning a worldwide reputation for delivering high quality, technically superior power solutions. Northern's systems are time-tested and reliable from the harshest and most remote locations on earth to densely populated urban sites. Northern is a pioneer in the development of hybrid fossil/renewable systems that allow multiple generation sources to be combined seamlessly, delivering a cost-effective supply of high quality, reliable and cleaner electric power. We provide services at every phase of a project, from site analysis, project and financial assessment, to feasibility studies, installation and commissioning. Taking an open technology approach, Northern uses on-site metering and data collection to engineer and design the optimum balance of energy source, power generation, energy storage, and controls for each unique project.
