SM Power surges ahead in green, efficient energy conversion systems
Efficient energy conversion is among the most important yet challenging aspects in reducing global energy consumption. Led by Asia's unquenchable development, worldwide energy consumption is projected to rise 56 per cent by 2040 - which means solutions from power supply experts such as SM Power will be critical contributors to sustainable energy usage.
Efficient energy conversion is among the most important yet challenging aspects in reducing global energy consumption. Led by Asia's unquenchable development, worldwide energy consumption is projected to rise 56 per cent by 2040 - which means solutions from power supply experts such as SM Power will be critical contributors to sustainable energy usage.
"Our in-house developed industrial, medical, home and office power supplies provide higher conversion efficiency and use 30 per cent fewer components than competitors," says SM Power president Göran Johansson. "This is the competency we excel in and plan to develop further as we flex our capabilities - in innovation and market reach."
The company's incorporation into special-application charger specialist Micropower last year has been a big step towards this goal. Enabling SM Power to access broader industries, including automotive, marine and heavy equipment, it is also anticipated to spur its expansion in new markets including Australia, South America and South Africa through the Micropower group. Micropower leverages SM Power's niche expertise and long-standing presence in Hong Kong and Guangdong province to complement its new operations in Shanghai.
Custom-designed power supply solutions that are flexible, lightweight and cost-efficient exemplify SM Power, while its drive to constantly innovate and address industry trends has become its edge over competitors. Responding to the increasing demand from the home treatment and remote diagnostics segments, SM Power has launched fully certified, compact and reliable medical equipment power supplies.
It has also developed the industry's smallest, up-to-30-ampere smart chargers featuring temperature sensors and charging algorithms that optimise and extend the life of lead-acid batteries. This breakthrough is expected to have a huge impact on cars, boats, motorcycles and trains, which SM Power forecasts will be strong growth drivers in Asia. "We look forward to growing in Asia, combining Western know-how with China manufacturing," Johansson says. "We aim to help original brand manufacturers by being their virtual research and development centre for their own portfolios and products."
